I can’t believe that today is officially the last day of 2014! I also can’t believe that I’m already back from my trip to Florida. Time flies way too quickly.
There’s some fun new posts to come (next year!!), but today, I’m feeling a bit nostalgic. At the end of the year, I tend to reflect on the past 12 months, rather than making resolutions for the next 12. My strategy is to constantly strive to make small changes to improve myself, regardless of the time of year. Besides, it’s always fun to look back on what has been accomplished in a year’s time. Personally and professionally, 2014 was a pretty big year. It was also a big year for this little blog!
– I’m now self-hosted
– I worked with a really talented web designer to make the site prettier and user-friendly
– I took a class at a community college to begin working on design and Photoshop skills (and plan to take more in 2015)
– Attended my first blogging conference, Spark Sessions
– Met some incredible other bloggers, both in person and through blogging/social media
I’m really excited to see what’s to come in 2015, but for now, I wanted to share a few of my favourite looks from 2014.

Thank you so much for joining me on my blogging journey this year.
Happy New Year!!!

I’m with you on reflecting! Pretty jealous of those photoshop classes (get it!).
And that beanie look is ADORABLE! Happy New Year!!
Jackie says
Thank you so much!!
I signed up for night class at a local community college. It’s great because you can take them casually, and it’s meant for people who work full time, etc.
Happy New Year!
