Happy December 12th! I am SO excited to begin counting down the 12 days of Christmas!
You guys have been asking me left and right if I’d be holding another 12 Days of Christmas vlogging series this year. While I’d love to, all we’re REALLY doing over here is cuddling a newborn. But!

My favorite memory was our family trip to San Diego to attend my cousin’s wedding. My sister, her boyfriend, and my cousin had a bonfire on the beach and it was perfect. Beer, pizza, and an AMAZING sunset is all i will ever need.
My favorite memory of 2017 was finding out that we are expecting our first baby boy in March 2018! And getting to tell all our family and friends!
My favorite Christmas memory is watching Elf with my family. We know all the words :)
And I just read your rules super wrong! My favorite memory of the year was the birth of my son!
My favorite memory of 2017 is kind of bittersweet. My mom was in a traumatic car accident in March and was in the ICU for over a month. While this was all horrible and emotionally draining, I’ve been able to watch her improve daily since then. She was told she may not walk again, talk again, or eat normally. She’s a fighter so she pushed herself and her therapists to make sure that wouldn’t happen. She is now walking short distances, talking constantly, and even helped prepare Thanksgiving Dinner! Feeling blessed to be the daughter of such a powerful and strong willed woman. Merry Christmas to your family!!
So many good memories, but going to my daughter’s college graduation was very special.
Such a sweet giveaway! My favorite memory of 2017 is starting a dinner club. After moving to a new city, I had a handful of friends from various walks of life, but none of my friends knew each other, nor did I know their friends. Hence, the dinner club! It’s been full of good times so far.
My favorite memory was my trip to Europe! What an amazing experience!
My favorite memory of 2017 was a trip to Croatia with my sister!
My favorite memory was celebrating my husband’s 30th birthday in Puerto Rico… but we are taking a trip to Italy after Christmas so I have a feeling my favorite is yet to come!!
We moved from CA to Maine this year. My favorite memory for 2017happened a few days ago. We had our 1st snow! I am living in a Norman Rockwell painting. 😁

My favorite memory of 2017 is watching my two girls who are 2 years apart start to really play and interact with each other. The love they have for each other melts my heart!
My favorite memory was putting up my Christmas tree while watching Home Alone and eating a ginormous cheese board for two with my boyfriend. Making new Christmas traditions!
I follow you on both! One of my favorite memories would have to be going on a family camping trip with my best friends family. It rained most of the time. My family woke up to a wet mess in our tent and we all got soaked, but it was a fun trip.
Beat memory of 2017 was the birth of our first baby, Andy Jr., on Thanksgiving Day! So much to be thankful for this year, but he is by far the best!
This is a tough year to find good memories following a miscarriage and the loss of two aunts, but we did manage to find time to buy a new home so I’m looking forward to starting new memories there!
Followed on insta (don’t have FB) – favorite moment of 2017 would have to be my trip to Spain and Portugal!!
Such a gorgeous book! Thank you for doing the giveaway, so awesome of you!

My Favorite memory of 2017 was my daughter being born. She was born five weeks early and is a little preemie and spend some time in the nicu. She is very close to Amelia’s age and my son is very close to Max’s age. I love following your story because it seems like we are the exact same stage of life with the kids being such similar ages. My name is Stephanie, my email address is Stephanie calli@gmail.com. I would love to win this giveaway as I haven’t had any time to go Christmas shopping out with a newborn!
Also preordered The Pretty Dish. Can’t wait to receive it!!!

My favorite memory of 2017 was watching our twin daughters turn 1 in June. The first year was tough and we felt so proud of ourselves (and them!) for all their growth and all they have accomplished.
Boy, I have to narrow it down to one memory. Well I think it would have to be of our family at cannon beach for the 4th. We were down on the beach playing in the sand (the first time for my 1.9 yo. He grabbed a scoop of sand, pulled my shorts back open, and dumped the sand down the back of my shorts. He was so little I couldn’t believe he’d come up with that on his own. We all laughed quite a while over that one :)
Everything related to my pregnancy!
Pre-ordered your book! :)
My favorite memory of 2017 was just seeing my twins growing up (they were born Sept. of 2016). So many milestones!
Being with my grandma and my children at the beach. Pure joy all around.

My favorite memory from 2017 was the birth of our 6th baby, Asher! He’s the sweetest little guy and just a joy ❤️❤️
My favorite memory was moving back to my hometown from Washington, D.C. My favorite cousin, who is a truck driver, offered to drive my car, with me and my two cats, for the 20-plus hour trip. We got to catch up and had a great time the whole way!
My favorite memory of 2017 is the birth of my second daughter in May!!!
My sweet dad was diagnosed with prostrate cancer, and is now cancer free. It’s been a very hard year. My mom and dad are true inspiration to me and my kids! Thank you.
The birth of my new niece a few weeks ago! AND my brother’s wedding the very same week!
My favorite memory this year has really been this Christmas season so far. My little girl is 3 1/2, and while she somewhat “got” Christmas last year, this year she is so super excited for everything we do that is even remotely holiday related…it makes it so much fun for my husband and I! I cannot wait for Christmas morning – the excitement will be over the top :)
My favorite memory was the excitement on my daughter’s faces when we got our first snowfall in the South after a few warm Winters. Sheer bliss!
Getting married to my best friend and now wonderful husband!
2017 was an AMAZING year! But I have to say the highlight and my greatest memory was our wedding day in January! 👰🏻⛪️❤️
