It was a good year, I found a lot of really good books for the girls to use in school. I found things for them to do that keeps them happy and entertained. What will I accomplish next year? Who knows. I may read more or less, I may knit/crochet/counted cross stitch more. I may go more places, I may take the girls to more activities. I may actually finish the book challenge from 2015! The world is an exciting place and there is so much to do and so much to see and so much to experience. I may go on a fossil hunt with the girls! I may take a hike somewhere I haven't hiked yet (so many trails in Lebanon)! I may make something I haven't tried before and make it over and over and over again (I really want to make more socks and make mittens/gloves).
What do you hope to accomplish this year? Make this year a good one for you!
