I think it’s always fun (and necessary, and telling, and educational) to look back over a year – its successes, its failures, its blessings, its blessings-in-disguise (AKA trials). As a blogger, it’s always a good idea to see what trended over a year’s time because I can make judgements about what you all are looking for from me and try to better meet your needs in the coming year. With that in mind, I put together a list of the top 10 posts from 2017 here on my blog, and you can see them (starting with number 10 and working our way up to number 1) in the list below. Quick and easy seems to be the theme here, with a healthy dose of eye-catching desserts. I can handle that. Sounds like my life. 😉
There were many posts that had higher traffic than these this year, but they were posts published in earlier years and I wanted to give the new posts a chance to shine. Unfortunately the posts published at the beginning of the year naturally have an advantage of those recently published, but that’s a small detail and I think we can still gain some reliable data from this list. Take a look and let me know how it aligns with your own personal interests! What types of posts are you interested in seeing in the coming year? Comment below and tell me!

Ryan and Briana: The Love Story (Part 1)
I wrote this blog post the day after our love story was released to the public, so after I made my calculations about which posts had been the most popular over the year, this post actually jumped about halfway up my Top 10 list! Personal secret: this was definitely my favorite post of the year. 😉

Oatmeal packet! I made one of these for my birth center bag and it was a mug full of warm chocolaty yumminess. Absolutely delicious at 12:30 am. And so easy to prepare. I recommend it to any new mom who needs something quick and nourishing.
Briana Thomas says
Wonderful! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

I have just very recently turned to your recipes, so I can’t answer your questions. Whatever you do I am sure it will be just what we need. Blessings to you and Ryan in 2018 and will certainly understand slight laps in Feb.
