Hello and welcome back around these parts. I don’t think I’ve ever taken almost a week off of blogging before but it was well needed. I didn’t check my computer, phone, or any forms of social media for the past few days and it was glorious. Don’t get me wrong, I was itching a little bit to get back to work but spending time with family was good for the soul. I hope everyone had a nice holiday! I’m currently sitting in the Centurion Lounge at Laguardia airport in New York with a cup of coffee and glass of wine patiently waiting on deck. I can’t wait to get home to my bed and the everyday routine of life. Mark and I started traveling together very early on in our relationship and I still remember telling him “see we are going to be perfect for each other, we travel perfectly together“. I mean, that, is huge right? Having similar travel personalities? I feel like you learn A LOT about people when traveling with them. Luckily we are both organized, pretty low maintenance, and can fit everything in those carry-ons. The end of the year is rapidly approaching and I wanted to bring part two of my blog review. You can catch part one here.

Oh my gosh, Amanda, you’ve had such a fun year of traveling! That’s awesome to be married to someone who shares your travel personality. Can you imagine traveling with someone who is high-mainatinence and stressed out about little details? Ugh. I can’t. I always love reading your travel recaps.
I remember that romper from September and LOVED it then! Boohoo that it’s sold out :( I’ll check out the similar one.
Happy New Year!
You find the best walls and colorful places. Love all of these shots and looks!!
Xoxo,
Whitney & Blaire
Peaches In A Pod
I absolutely Love this post because it reminds me of some of my favorite posts of yours. The amazon one was definitely one of my favorites. A great year of blog posts pretty lady.
I’m hoping to start doing more videos next year as well!! It was a great and successful year for you and I hope it’s even better next year!! I think this is the first year we didn’t see each other, which is just no bueno!! We need to fix that in 2017! xo, Biana
I feel like the end of 2016 (second half?) was so bright, colorful and vibrant for you!! Love all the adventures, too!
Wow!! So many good posts this year and you’ve done so much!! I’m glad you said that about videos, I have to get recommitted to my YouTube channel this year.
UGh that romper, I am so mad I never got to wear it! I did just purchase that first pair of shoes you linked (literally, just now) to replace those awesome target ones that I cannot replace. Clearly I love your fashion posts the most as you are now responsible for all of my purchases, lol! I now have a DSLR camera thanks to the thieves and I cannot wait to actually use all your tutorials now! Keep up the great work! Safe travels home and enjoy that glass of wine that is coming! Cheers to 2017!
Every single one of these outfits look amazing on you. I tried to pick a favorite but I can’t. You have incredible taste and an amazing sense of style. I am totally inspired by you!! :-) I love hearing about all of the fun things that you have done this year. You are a beautiful person inside and out and I always enjoy catching up with you. Enjoy the rest of this year and I hope that 2017 brings you tons of happiness!!! xoxo
i agree about learning a lot about a person by travelling with them. KC and i are like 80% the same with travel and then we have our things but we mesh well and we tolerate the other’s weirdness about weird things lol.
2016 was a crazy busy year for you girl. can’t wait to see what you get up to in 2017!
Your photos always make me so happy. They aren’t just point, pose and shoot. There’s a real art to them. From your outfit to what you’re standing in front off. Always enjoy clicking over here. Can’t wait for 2017! (:
What a great year you had Amanda. And your post on teaching someone to shoot your photos has really come in handy, haha!
