Top 10 Posts of 2016

Blogger

There are MANY things I’ve learned in my 6 years of blogging, but knowing what’s going to be popular one year vs the next isn’t one of them. While I can’t say I’m surprised by the ones that are on this list, I also wanted to showcase some additional favorites I launched this year that didn’t make the top list.

I look forward to seeing what you find inspiring and pin in 2017!

I guess lots of parents want to plan ahead and have this elf thing figured out! Don’t worry, I’m already working on my Elf on the Shelf Ideas for a 4 year old post for next year. YES – I’m getting THAT far ahead of the game! Oh and PS this wasn’t even my most popular elf post as the Elf on the Shelf Ideas for a 2 year old post was clicked on WAYYYY more this season!
