Welcome, 2022! We wanted to start out the new year with wins from last year. Things haven’t been easy these past couple years and while we have hope for 2022, we want to be grateful for all the good things that happened last year.

So we asked you, our readers, what were your biggest wins from 2021?

This is what you said

Babies

There were a lot of babies! Our readers were thrilled to report that either their own babies or the birth of new grandbabies were the highlight of 2021.

Lost weight

Accomplishing weight loss in 2021 was also a theme for many of our readers – go all of you who accomplished this goal! One of our readers said she lost 128 pounds in 2021. That’s just incredible.

New experiences

We aren’t even going to paraphrase this one because it’s so awesome:

We went on an overnight adventure every month. 12 different places, all kinds of hikes, museums, and beauty we never would have otherwise experienced.

We love, love this.

Buying a house

Especially in this crazy market, buying a house is a big win. There were single moms who said that finally buying a house for them and their kids was the biggest accomplishment this year. Way to go, moms!

Moving and New jobs

Big wins happened for some of our readers who really took risks like moving to a new state, leaving an awful job, or taking a new job or starting a new business.

Homeschooling

A couple readers said that successfully homeschooling their kids were their biggest wins for 2021 and that they are excited for what’s to come in 2022 for their families.

Graduating

Several readers said either they themselves graduated from college/university or one of their kids did. Definitely a great win for 2021!

What are your goals for 2022? We want to wish you a wonderful New Year and praying for the very best for you and your family.
