They say time flies when you’re having fun (and when you’re happy!) and I must be both because I truly cannot believe 2015 is already drawing to a close.

Every year for as long as I can remember, I’ve made resolutions. Sometimes they last years (never have any regrets), sometimes they last days (no alcohol in January) and there are some I make every year (go to the gym more often) even though I know it’s not going to happen (unless it happens next year!!)

This year I decided to be a little bit more honest with myself and go anti new years resolutions. Because let’s be honest, the one’s that stick will stick even if I decide they will in March!

This year instead I’ve decided to look back at my year and all the things I’m grateful for. To relish in all that I accomplished and know what I need to beat in 2016.

So in no particular order, here it goes…

My year actually began with an ending which was long overdrawn and restored peace and joy to my life.

I was a Finalist in the MaD Blog Awards

I went to my first Brit Mums Live in June (or was it July?!)

I visited three new countries: Turkey, Sri Lanka and Morocco

I’ve met some amazing people this year who have inspired & motivated me

I read around 15-20 books

I had a fantastic birthday!

My jewellery brand Désirée by natasha took off

My family are all healthy and well

I was lucky to have some of my closest friends visit London this year

S has grown in leaps and bounds and never ceases to amaze me with the new things he’s learning

I recorded 6 episodes of a podcast with Amie of Finding our Feet. We had to stop due to branding issues but I hope it’s something we can bring back one day

I’m sure there are lot’s more but these are the one’s that really stand out for me.

So Happy New Year folks, I hope you have a fantastic 2016!
