So, there’s a trend going around where people share what they were up to in 2016. I wasn’t sure why, but it seems it’s just because it was 10 years ago! I looked at my phone camera role, which doesn’t go back that far. I looked at my Google photos, and remembered that all of this is already on my blog. So let’s see what we were up to in 2016.

And to my parents in South Florida. That was a ton of travel in one year.
On the blog, I was doing the $10 at Target link up and the Kids Behind the Blog link up. I was purchasing and reviewing Ipsy bags.
I read 44 books – I listed them all here. I’m working on updating the individual book posts where the photos are all broken!
What were you up to in 2016?
