2024 Blog Recap! What Did You Like Reading About?

2024 recap

A Happy, Happy New Year my lovelies! I hope you've had a restful and fun break. Are we ready for 2025? Before we go into the new year we like to look upon the previous year. I love to see what recipes you made, which restaurant reviews you liked or what travel stories you enjoyed so read on and I'll show you!

2024 was a pretty good year for our little family. We've finally settled into our house and now actually enjoy living here (now that the moths have departed). We live to keep Teddy and Milo happy and they bring us so much joy. We also travelled to some of my top bucket list destinations. However 2024 did have its challenges - house related and Mr NQN's work related and there is so much turmoil in the world that it's hard to say that it was an outstanding year.

I always try and guess which stories you will love and I guessed a couple of the recipes but the restaurant reviews and travel stories were a real surprise to me. All I can say is that y'all like diversity and that's great because I do too!

As always, I hope that 2025 is a wonderful year for you. Thank you for coming along my journey and for staying with me. Some of you have been here since the beginning and I'm so grateful for that. I promise to keep bringing you something delicious every day!

Lots of love,

Lorraine
