You're listening to The Girl Next Door Podcast. I'm Erica. And I'm Kelsey. We're two former next door

neighbors and good friends who love a good chat and a good laugh. We're inviting you to come on

in, have a drink, and stay a while. Hey friend. Hey friend. It is time for our annual year in review episode.

We are taking a look back at 2019 and reflecting

on all the good, bad and ugly, as well as sharing some of our favorites from this past 12 months.

So selfishly, this is just a great excuse for us to reflect on our past year as we look forward

to setting goals for the new one. But we're also hoping maybe this gives you a framework and

some questions

to ask in reflecting on your own year. Yes. So let's start with the good stuff. What went well for you

in 2019? What are you proud of? And maybe some of the highlights. Okay. Yeah, this was, I love doing

these episodes. Like we said, it just forces us to sit down and think about it and I actually took some

time this past weekend did my favorite early morning Starbucks session and I just like opened a

Google document and just listed like the year out all the good things the challenging things

what I learned.

Anyway, it was, it was just so nice.

Very therapeutic, right? It really was.

So here is what I came up with.

So to remind everyone, I did pick a word for the year and my word was flourish.

And what I meant by that, I wanted to lean into the good things that we already have going on in life and do more of those things instead of adding many additional things.

So I kind of broke my good stuff down into a few categories.

So in terms of family, I think we really noticed this year, the boys became noticeably easier to parent.

Yeah.
