The Best of 2014
Phewww, what a year it’s been! I started this little ol’ blog a little over a year ago but truth be told I only got serious about it maybe 9 months ago. I’ve come a long way baby! I know I’m not a crazy big blog and I haven’t had anything go super viral (yet!) so my momentum has been slow but steady and upwards. It’s truly a marathon for me! I am so grateful for you, my readers. Whether you read on a regular basis or just pop in once in awhile to check things out. I am so appreciative for your support, comments and friendship! For those of you who are new to my blog, I thought you might like to get a quick year in review of my top 10 most popular posts. It’s like the cliff notes version of my blog. Enjoy!
