Favorite memory of 2017: Summer vacation at the Cape as a family of 4 this year! <3
Beach trip with my family. My kids are old enough that it was relaxing and fun.
My favorite memory of the year was spending 4th of July weekend with my best friends and their families at the beach!
My favorite memory of 2017 has been doing new things with my son in particular how much he loves decorating the tree and opening his advent calendar each day. It’s so wonderful to have a little helper around who loves Christmas as much as I do.
So many memories, so hard to choose just one … but working with my boys in our family business and watching them learn, grow and mature into respectful young men makes this mom very proud.
Love your recipes and love your pictures and Pittsburgh! Sheet pan nachos forever!
My favorite memory of 2017 was spending a week with friends that are from around the world all in one place! That week is what family is all about!

Hands down, my best memory this year to date was being taken on a surprise scavenger hunt all along the pier of downtown Seattle to kick off my birthday week right with gift bags and fun riddles and clues along the way, eventually leading to the very best gift of all: my sweet man standing right underneath the Big (Ferris) Wheel where our first date was supposed to have been earlier this year, having come up from where he lives in Denver and completely surprising me, waiting for me to run into his arms. I still replay it over and over again in my head and can’t even. Ugh, *swoon*.

I went on my first medical missions trip this year that changed me. And it made me better. And it was by far my fave memory and experience of the year. 💜
My favorite memory of 2017 is going to get a Christmas tree with my family. My two boys are all ground up so it is nice when they come home that we carry on this tradition. Once we bring the tree home we decorate it. They each put their ornaments up that My husband and I give them an ornament each year of something they did during that year. So my oldest has 25 ornaments and my other has 21 ornaments.
While it’s hard to pin down my favourite memory of this year, I think it was when my best friend from Australia came to visit me and brought her 7 month old daughter that I had yet to meet. It was simply the best!
My favourite memory of this year is tied: my fifth anniversary with my husband, at a B&B in Rhode Island, and my sister-in-law’s wedding in Alabama. Both were full of toasts and delicious food, both were a celebration of love, and both were a reminder of how lucky I am to have such a beautiful family.
