I’m going to share with you 2021 A Year in Review today!

All the Things that Happened

  • I joined a Mastermind Group in February of 2021 with KariAnne of Thistlewood Farms who is my Mentor and our groups leader! It has changed my life and I have met some amazing women who have become not just my blogging friends but real life friends. I have learned so much!

  • I hit the one year mark of blogging full-time and consistently in 2021.
  • Emma graduated from Iowa State University with a double major in Marketing and Spanish. She’s moved back home and has a job she loves with Scribble Software as their Marketing Coordinator.
  • We had a wedding! The best little backyard wedding ever. Our daughter Annie married her love Tommy Nellen on June 26th. The date had significance and you can read about that HERE
  • Emma and I launched our Podcast “Living Large” on August 16th – People from 11 different countries are listening to us. Isn’t that crazy?

  • I hit publish my first video on December 6th on my YouTube Channel and as of today it has had 5,200 views.

I posted my Christmas Home Tour to YouTube and it’s already gotten 5,400 views so it’s obvious to me that I need to continue adding video’s to my YouTube channel. You can see that video by clicking the button below.

I’m going to be more intentional with my posts. I’m going to post a recipe or food type post on Tuesdays. On Thursday, I’m going to post a Home Inspired post. I’m mulling over what the weekend will look like. Will I add back a post on Saturday and my Newsletter on Sunday? I’m not sure about what I will do.

If you, my friends, have an opinion, please contact me either via the contact tab or a comment. I read each and every one of them.

Most of my goals are behind the scene’s goals. All the computer things that sometimes make me want to pull my hair out :).

    1. I agree that 2022 is going to be a great year for both of us. We learned a lot last year. Now we can put all of that hard work into action. I feel very blessed to be able to call you my friend.
