Hello Gallivanters!

Welcome back to the blog.

This week, we are celebrating!

Because in case you didn’t know, it’s officially birthday week.

I’d like to start off this blog post by reflecting on year 24.

This year I took my first solo trip, bought a new car, and continued to write about life and all the things I love on the Gallivanter blog.

I’m so, so grateful for all of it and for all of you who have joined in on this journey with me!

It’s become a sort of tradition amongst me and mine to forgo the birthday dinners, gifts, etc., and focus on being intentional with our time together by doing a fun activity.

Last year was all about embracing our inner children at a trampoline park.

This year, we said goodbye to year 24 and kicked off my 25th go around the sun the only way we know how – in song.

That’s right folks,

Karaoke.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes and a special thanks to those of you with sore throats this week. I love ya.

Til next time!
