It always gives me a tickle finding out what the top posts are of any given year. Like, how does something become more enticing? Haha. It actually surprises me how many views the top post got and it is by far my most viewed post ever. Can you guess what it was about? Spoiler: even I was surprised what it was about!

Yup. A how- to about planting a garden. I'm shocked. But also thrilled! It was a very special project I got to do with Kinsey over the summer.
How was your 2016?

I love year in review posts! I can't wait to see what's in store for you this year!
ReplyDeleteSo fun to see your year all recapped. I have been working on one of those posts too but have lost steam. Maybe I'll get that wrapped up before 2018 :P.
ReplyDeleteLoved that you recapped the entire year, and so funny about your top post, who would have guessed! The birthday Stitch Fix seemed totally random too :)
