Ever since 2016, I’ve done a round-up at the end of year of the top 10 posts on the blog as well as the top 9 posts on my Instagram. Now, my personal IG took a beating this year — I only posted 6 pictures total, so clearly that won’t be the IG account with …
Well, everyone — we made it! We made it to the end of this looooong, hard, rollercoaster year. And while we literally have no clue about what surprises 2021 has in store for us, we at least have the promise of a fresh start, which is always hopeful in and of itself. For the past …
