Looking back…2014…

Elodie

Button looking back

There are still a few days in 2014 and what a year it has been, both personally and professionally.

In 2014, I announced my decision to self publish and I published two books, I am so thankful for everyone who’s supporting me in my writing journey. Thank you! <3

The Hubby and I traveled to Malaysia, to Texas…I had a lot of business trips. I quit my job as a press officer and we moved back to the US. What a year it has been!

I remember reading Katy’s blog about her year in review where she used pictures to highlight her year. Loved it. So I thought, this time around, I’ll try something a bit similar.

January

Happy, happy new year! And a Galette des Rois tradition 🙂 I also blogged about my word for 2014, which was balance.

Happy New Year!
Galette des rois…yummm

  • A lovely & romantic Valentine’s Day weekend by the Loreley
  • Signed copies of the lovely and talented Rebecca Behrens (for my niece and me)

  1. What a full year for you! You and your hubby are adorable.

    I love the idea of picking a word for your year instead of specific resolutions. Totally stealing it.

    And my best 2014 memory has to be my son turning a year old. Very surreal day!

    1. 🙂 Thanks, Crystal. The one word for a year is quite cool, I had taken the idea from Erin Bowman I think 🙂 Hope you and your family are having a wonderful holiday season!
