On the blog side of things, I discovered a whole new group of readers (or rather, they (you!) discovered me). I still can’t believe there are so many people out there willing to spend their precious time chatting about random weird and wonderful tips with me. Getting to talk with you about whatever little things around the house intrigue and interest me every day and having you share your own thoughts on making life a little easier right back with me, while getting to call it my job, really is a dream come true for me.
You know we live in a strange and fascinating world when I can use words like “dream come true” to describe a year that I finish up, not at some big fancy New Year’s celebration, but delirious from exhaustion and wearing jeans that I can’t promise don’t still have baby pee on them. And I’m a girl who likes to blog about laundry tips on occasion. Dream come true for sure!
I thought today maybe it might be fun to look back on the year and recap the posts that were the most interesting to you, my lovely readers. An official New Year’s countdown of easy-peasyness! Everyone else is doing it, so why can’t we? Without further ado, here we go!
