    Wait. . .  where did this year go? I swear it was April like. . . five minutes ago. I love this time of the year because I absolutely adore the holidays, but every year without fail it always feels so weird to think that it feels like the year flew by so quickly. Where did all that time go, and how did I get so few of my goals accomplished for the year? (More on that in an upcoming post!) Well today I’m looking back: I’m sharing my favorite posts of the 2018 year. From the recipes we keep making over and over again, to the outfits I just can’t stop thinking about, to some of my favorite travel posts from the year, it’s all here, so read on!
