It’s safe to say 2017 was one of the fastest years of my life. Oh wait, was that my opening line of 2016? Probably.  I don’t think I could proceed here without a proper salute to 2017,  and the days that made way for a new year. Here are the top 10 posts according to you readers of the past year….

1.A Family Update

2. Holding  her on the other side.

3. How we met/ dating story: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

4. Living room makeover 

5. Master bedroom makeover

6. Marriage: Loving through the rough and tough.

7. 22 piece summer capsule wardrobe

8. Holy grounds.

9.  8 bite sized habits for a better day

10. Back patio reveal

I found it ironic that a few of these posts were some of the most difficult to right and publish. Thank you for being an uplifting community to share with. Gabe and I both look forward to sharing more about our home renovation, raising 5 little ones, and an honest look at trying to make the most of the life in front of us. You encourage us to keep going even when things get tough, so thank you for being so gracious.

So I hit publish here on IHOD for the 7th year with a sincere thank you from all 7 of us.

Wishing you nothing but good in the year ahead!
