I can’t believe it’s that time of year again can you?
I’ve tried so many things this year and still have a few things planned. I’ve taken up a new hobby, took some chances on a few things this year, got COVID (yuck), oh and just tonight we found a little kitten in our yard. Of course it was at like 11 pm at night and my husband was at work and the kids were asleep. The kitten is safe for now and visually seems ok but I’ll be calling our vet tomorrow.
We took our first family vacation that included extended family. I started trying to learn a little bit about herbs. I’m planning to start an herb garden next year.
With everything happening this year I’ve focused more on my social media channels than the blog. I almost missed this hop and I’ve done this one every years for…I think…at least the last 5 years.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s been busy or had a crazy year. So I thought why not keep this giveaway simple and something that can be used for whatever the winner needs it for.

We took a trip to Denver earlier this year to attend a wedding. We had never been there, so we took a few extra days and did all the touristy-stuff, including taking in a concert at Red Rocks. We had a blast!
I’ve never been to Denver either. Glad you got a chance to check things out. How fun
I visited my mom who lives overseas!
wow nice!
My 11 year old niece came to live with my husband and I and we’ve had a great time making memories with her. We were unable to have kids and having her here is wonderful <3
oh that’s so nice. Family time!
Finished some cleaning, organization and repairs in the home
It’s so nice to get things off the to-do list. I’ve been working on that myself
I think my favorite part of 2022 was finding my dads birth family we have been hunting for years!
That’s amazing! So glad you found them
I got Netflix in 2022. I love it and am now addicted. xxoo
I know what you mean. I just caved and got it about 2 years ago. Initially I wasn’t sure but now I’m hooked
Finally got last winter’s storm down trees cleared up around the house
Always feels good to get things off the to-do list
My daughter and I took a trip to Charleston, SC. It was beautiful and we had a wonderful time!
I was only there one time but I’d love to go and stay for a few days. Beautiful old southern houses there
We had an awesome vacation!
Nice! Where did you go?
I started a new job back in February.
Congrats on the new job! Are you liking it?
my son is making so many gains in school which is so nice after the crazy couple of years with the covid.
I get it. So glad things are smoothing out for your son
I have a grandniece due in a couple of weeks!
Aw, Congrats!
As of 10 months ago, I am no longer homeless. That’s quite a relief, since I have two cats that I care for.
I can’t imagine but so glad you’re no longer homeless and you still have your cats
We vacationed in Florida and spent 2 weeks with my father in law who we haven’t seen in a long time.
My nephew and his wife had twins this year. The first babies born into our family in many years!
My daughter got a new job
I was hired at a job in 2022 that my daughter is now a co-worker.
One positive thing in 2022 is that I have stayed healthy so far. I’m working hard to get in better shape and lose weight. Also, got some work around the house completed.
My daughter had a successful year in college
My son a job and my nephew got married this year.
I got into college. It’s online, but it is still college. I start next year.
We added a new furry member to the family!
I had a nice vacation at the beach with friends.
I’m back to exercising in-person. Right now it’s 2 x week
We were able to visit my sister and her family last summer.
We are having all our family over for thanksgiving this year!
Everyone in the house got covid but none of us were too sick and I see that as a huge positive because we were all nervous. I had zero symptoms the whole time. We feel so fortunate especially since we have pre-existing conditions.
We’ve got close to being done with our renovation!
The most positive thing I did for myself in 2022 was to go back to work. It was really hard to put myself out there after staying for over 12 years. I have never been so happy to go to work!
My eldest granddaughter started college this year and out of all the options she had to choose from, she chose my Alma mater, SUNY Oswego!
There seems to be a late kitten season this year! Everywhere I go, there’s kittens!
Most positive thing I have done this year was move into management and it was a great move.
I retired the end of February and loving it!!!!
I had to go to the ER late at night and my husband had to stay home with our kids, but I didn’t want to go alone. I sent a quick message to a few people to see if someone would be willing to go with me and then burst into tears because I realized that for the first time since moving away from family, I actually HAD people that I felt comfortable writing at 11pm to ask a favor like that!
I joined Weight Watchers and lost some weight!
The most positive thing for me started as a negative. Our landlord decided he wants to remodel our apt and we would have to move. If we decided to move back in the rent would double! Enter my mother in law with her helping hand and after the first of the year we move into our new home ! Which will still be cheaper than rent,etc!
I got married!
I moved into a nice house!
I reconnected with my oldest friend whom I have known for over 50 years this year!
First grandchild coming in a week or so
We moved into a house we love.
Had a super fun family reunion and met new family. Very cool
We went on vacation to South Dakota this year.
my sis and bro moved back, they’re slobs, leaving stuff everywhere around the house
My part time job turned into a full time job!
I strengthened my faith this year. I’m grateful for that.
Well no new hobby. Just work and work and more work haha, but I will be going on a cruise for my birthday this year Jan 8th it’s a 12 day cruise. That is the longest cruise I have ever been on and i am going with my mom and 2 sisters.
My husband and I celebrated our 40th anniversary.
My niece and her husband delivered a new family member – a sweet baby boy. He was a preemie/NICU baby and we’re all happy he is healthy now and just the happiest, most darling baby in the world!
I always cherish my precious moments with my children. I also love my new job I got this year. Thanks for the opportunity and good luck everyone!
My oldest graduated high school!
The most positive thing in 2022 is that my daughter has been accepted to 11 colleges for next year after she graduates.
I made a few new friends.
My oldest son graduated from college. Then as a family we went to the Dominican Republic. Thank you
My husband got a job he’s been wanting.
