Well, there’s no point waiting a moment longer to get happy for 2018, and I’ve got some great things to get your year started off just right!

1. A gorgeous cookie recipe that makes me want to decorate my heart out.

2. If you need some help coming up with resolutions, or staying with them, this is just the article for you!

3. When can we stay here?

4. This UK Instagram account makes me so, so, so happy!

5. How to take good photos even in the most challenging lighting conditions (hello Lowe’s home improvement store!)

6. A few gorgeous places to visit this year that likely wont break the bank.

Now that I’ve got Taos, New Mexico etched into my mind as a new destination in the Southwest, a list of New Years goals a mile long, and a hankering for little square cookies, I must bid you adieu – there’s a shiny new daily planner calling my name and I’ve got to start breaking it in! And you best be off and kicking butt on this first official day back! Have a great week!
