I read a lot of great books this year... as well as some not-so-great ones. Reading is one of my favorite escapes from reality and if I don't read for 30 minutes before bed every night, I see a huge difference in my sleep so it's something I prioritize daily.

I love writing this post every year. I keep a list of products all year long and then whittle them down to include here. This year's list is disorganized and all over the place (#pregnantandalso2020) but it's full of a lot of great things that have made my life better in 2020.
I'm sure I'm missing some as I have not been on my A-game lately but if I think of more I'll add them to the list.
