2021 A Year in Review

OOTD Nashville Thrifted Style

I’ve been blogging since 2009, and one of my favorite old blog posts to read are the ones where I do a year in review. It gives perspective on all the good things that God has blessed you with, the lessons you have learned, and how good a year it actually was.

All the Things That Happened in 2021: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
