2013 has been an incredible year for me, full of personal and professional growth, 100 new experiences, and so much more. Before 2013 expires and we ring in 2014, I thought it would be fun to reflect on my favorite parts of 2013. A 2013 Year in Review.

I have much to be grateful for, including incredible friends and family. You’ll notice that nothing in my list is a “thing.” The best parts of 2013 were the experiences I had. Sure, I got some cool stuff too. For example, I bought myself a Jawbone UP24 and you know I love it. But it’s not really the Jawbone UP24 I love as much as how it lets me track my sleep and exercise and it’s motivating me to get healthier. It’s the experience of getting healthier that is the best part of the Jawbone UP24.

Thank you for being part of my year. I’m incredibly grateful that you choose to spend some of your free time (surely, you never read LMS at work) reading my blog. If I had one picture with the millions of Little Merry Sunshine readers that picture would lead the gallery of 2013 Year in Review highlights.
