I am excited about my son graduating from college.
I’m excited to make our little newlywed starter house a home.
I’m excited about getting back on track with my organization for life!!! Also, searching for the perfect new home!
With 2016 right around the corner I am very excited to start our half bath project. It has been an eye sore of the last 5 years we have lived here and I can’t wait to make it beautiful!
Looking forward to 2016, I am most excited to see our new house truly become a HOME for our growing family! YOU have inspired me so much to embrace my creative side for decorating our space and I am going to be starting my own blog documenting my decorating journey! Thank you so much!
We’ll be moving into our newly built home in 2016 and can’t wait to make new memories as a family!
The baby will be older and it will hopefully be easier to get things done around the house! The only benefit to my last baby growing so fast! 🙁
I’m excited about making more memories with an amazing 4 year old and hopefully finally getting our house finished.
There are so many things to be excited about for 2016! After several years of working, I will be going back to get my master’s degree in early childhood education and we are hoping it is our year for a new baby! 🙂
These wooden monograms are so unique! In our family, we are most excited about staying healthy & growing kindness for 2016. It’s been a year of sinus infections throughout our family that we are happy to leave behind us. As for growing kindness, we really want our three children to grasp that kindness towards others, and ourselves, can make a huge difference in the world.
I am excited (hopeful anyway) about 2016 that it might be much much better than 2015. It has been a rough year for us in many respects. I look forward to improvement, organization, health and happiness, and finding some balance that I so desperately need in our lives.
I am so excited for 2016! Me and my husband will have our one year anniversary! I will graduate with my bachelors degree in 2016! My husband will take the MCAT and apply to med school! This is a big year for us! Can’t wait to see what other excitements 2016 will bring!
For 2016 I am most excited for what dreams I can accomplish! I have so many- from relaunching my blog, to helping unite girls and everyone throughout the world. I see so much positivity and growth that I cannot wait to see where it takes me and how it will inspire others! You know, I have the crazy idea that I can help the world and I sure as heck will try! 🙂
Most excited about my twin boys turning 4!
I am so excited for 2016 since we will be welcoming another baby girl into our family in April! Cannot wait for the newest addition to arrive!
