What a year 2020 was for several reasons! The year we welcomed a new baby, launched a full renovation project, and the whole world shut down. I would not have in my wildest dreams thought this would be the reality, nor did I ever think we would actually own and rent an Airbnb. Like I preach all the time, never say never!

Today, I want to share more of that with you and thank a few people along the way.
