Looking back over the past year and all that it brought with it can be so much fun. I had a pretty great year in 2013 {despite a certain knee surgery} and this little blog continued to grow making super excited about its future. Of course, you can’t really reflect on the past year without sharing a bit of what was popular so I give you the posts that rank as the top ten of 2013.

Did You Bring Diapers?
Let me set the scene for you: It is the day after Christmas. We’re all operating on just a few hours of sleep and our brains are still filled with all the Christmas excitement along with a new list of things to do like returning gifts that are too big or didn’t go over very well.

Then I thought about muffins, but I didn’t want the usual muffin suspects and I wasn’t in the mood to blow 400 calories on cinnamon coffee cake muffins either. A slight dilemma.

Toffee and Chocolate Eggnog Bark
Sweet treats are pretty much all I want during Christmas time. From fudge to cookies to cheesecakes and candies, I just can’t get enough. Another one of my favorites is definitely different kinds of “bark” candy. I was trying to find new flavors to make into bark and that is how this toffee and chocolate eggnog bark was born.

Homemade Christmas Trees
It was my pleasure to partner with Make It:Fun and FloraCraft® to share a “Foam for the Holidays” homemade Christmas tree project with you.
Decorating with small, homemade Christmas trees can be super easy but make a big impact. When you create your own, there is so much versatility for how your final product will look.
