Having myself and my close group of friends turn 50!
My favorite memory from 2017 was having all my family together in the mountains in Telluride for a week! Truly the best.
I have numerous favorite memories but they all center around trips I took with my family (husband or sister) this year. Dinner one night, at a small local Indian food restaurant, in Stockholm with my sister sticks out for me. Great food and conversations with other patrons made the evening.
My vacation in Mexico was my fave memory from 2017!
I was in Hawaii to ring in the New Year, which was a pretty wonderful way to start off 2017! Feel like it set the tone for some amazing times this year 💜
Favorite memory of 2017 was spending 2 weeks in Europe & stopping every 20 minutes or so & realizing how fortunate we were to be there!!
2017 hasn’t been an easy year… but we are finishing out big by moving into our dream house. My favorite memory was taking ownership of what was possibly the most outdated 80’s monstrosity on January 9th. Between the look of abject fear and panic in my husbands eyes and knowing how amazing it would be (and totally is!). It was the biggest risk and definitely the most exciting moment I’ve had in a long time!
Ah what a wonderful kick off to your favorite things giveaway series! My favorite memory of this year was Halloween! It was SO fun celebrating the entire month of October at the urging of my 3 year old! We had so much fun decorating, fanning out over pumpkin everything, watching all the fun themed shoes on PBS kids, the building excitement for the big day and getting my two munchkins dressed for our halloween parade & trick or treating! I suppose Thanksgiving and Christmas have been similar with magical memories- children makes the holidays so special! Happy Holidays Jessica dear!
My favorite memory of 2017 is going to a concert with my dad and two sisters on Father’s Day. It was really special, and a night I will never forget. Two days later my dad and I went on a spur of the moment road trip, which was also one of my favorite days of 2017!
My favorite memory of 2017 was getting engaged on vacay in Iceland!
My favorite memory from this year is getting all of our friends together to take a weekend trip to a cabin on the lake for my friend’s 30th birthday. We are all pretty spread out now so it was great to be able to get everybody in one place at the same time and relax.
I already preordered your book and I am so excited to receive it in March!
One of my favorite memories of 2017 is seeing a good friends reaction when she saw the blanket that 5 of us knitted for her..
By far, my favorite memory of 2017 was getting married in November!!
Pre-ordered! Can’t wait for March!
Insta and facebook follows done!
My favorite memory of 2017 is a visit back to the pacific northwest in summer..:)
My favorite memory of 2017 was finding out I was pregnant with my first baby!
My favorite memory was announcing our intention to adopt to our family and friends and being overwhelmed with the support and love!
My favorite memory was having off during the summer and spending every day with my son! He turned one in June and we just had the most wonderful time. This is one of the best perks of being a school psychologist.
2017 was extra special because my baby girl was born. I hoped and prayed for her for 3 years. 2017 will always be one of my favorite years.
Celebrating my daughters 1st birthday this year was hands down my favorite so far although I’m sure Christmas will top that!!

My favorite memory was moving to Toronto this summer! I’ve never been out of the states before and it was very scary but so exciting at the same time. It’s helped me to grow so much as a person in a short time. 😊
I think reconnecting with an old friend has been a highlight of 2017. But in general. i think being more mindful and actively practicing gratitude have made it memorable. Thank you for the opportunity to win such a great prize!
Thank you for this giveaway! It’s been such a joy to follow your wonderful year. My favorite memory from 2017 is seeing one of my articles (I’m a sportswriter) featured on the Apple News homepage! Definitely a huge professional achievement for me.
I have many many memorable memories this year but my greatest is my son who blessed us April 2017. I am an Amazon junky…haha. Happy Holidays!!
My favorite memory of 2017 is having all my family together which is not as common as it used to be.
My favorite memory will happen this coming Friday when I graduate college. I tried it once in the late 90’s and it didn’t work out. I’m proud of accomplishing my goals this time around while also having a full-time job and a family to take care of :)
My favorite memory of 2017 was walking 7 miles round trip with my two teenagers to see the Warrior Point Lighthouse in Portland, Oregon. It was an amazing day.
2017 was a pretty great year: new house, puppy, car and found out I was pregnant! Our first daughter will hopefully be our great start to 2018!
My favorite memory of 2017 was participating in the Women’s March in January – it felt so empowering and so hopeful.
Ordered the Pretty Dish!
For sure the birth of my son in april!
My favorite memory of 2017 was a trip to Florida with my mom! We literally did nothing but sleep, relax by the pool and beach. It was the most relaxing vacation I’ve had in a long time.
LOVE your blog and would love to win! xo
My favorite memory was traveling to meet my mom’s side of the family for the first time, we got a chance to go to the beach when I was there.
my favorite moment of 2017 was visiting my parents in myrtle beach.
My favorite memory of 2017 was my daughter learning how to walk, talk and grow in the sassy little 16 month old she is today. I’ve learned so much about myself by becoming her mother and I feel so lucky that I was chosen to raise this precious little girl!
My favorite memories of 2017 have been a trip to Nashville with my best girl friends and finding out that I’m pregnant with baby #2!
2017 favorite memory- a week in Florida in March soaking up the warmth on the beach- was truly lovely to escape our MN winter for a bit :)
My fave 2017 memory was seeing my daughter meet her baby cousin for the first time. There’s nothing like a cousin, and I can’t wait to see them become friends and make memories together!
My favorite memory was the birth of my daughter! After two boys, it’s nice to have a girl around.
The Pretty Dish Pre-Ordered!!
The day I harvested my cow moose. It was just my husband and me on a snow covered, wooded mountain.
What a sweet giveaway!! 2017 was a crazy busy year, BUT I got to go to Las Vegas for the first time EVER to celebrate my sissy’s birthday and while we were there we saw the Backstreet Boys. Best moment of my year (life) — 13 year old me was so super pumped!
My favorite memory is when we welcomed our youngest into the family. My older two were so excited!
Favorite memory this year was taking my very first trip to Disney World! My husband and I went just the two of us and had THE best adult time ever!!
I would love this! Thanks for all the great recipes this year! My favorite memory of this year has been getting to go to a football game of our college alma mater with my parents and getting a big win! I haven’t gotten to go to a game with my parents in a few years!!
Best memory of 2017 was having a baby girl in June! Also a team green baby and also a little sister to a 3 year old brother!
Also pre-ordered the book! Will send the email confirmation shortly :)
My favorite memory of 2017 was being the first one to find out what my brother’s child was before anyone (GIRL!!), and throwing the gender reveal party. Fast forward into the evening, they said they had already decided if it was a girl, to give her my middle name (Ariele, I am the original, haha). I can’t have kiddo’s, so this was truly special.
Hardest moment of 2017…..keeping my fat mouth shut for 4 days.
