It has been a couple of years since I've posted a Top 10 post.  I always find these so fun to pull together and what better time than New Year's day to take one final look back. It's neat to see what resonated with my readers and try to speculate on why some of them were so popular.  I added the pageviews so you can see how much difference there is between.. and some of those jumps are really huge!   Here are the top 10 most viewed posts from 2023:  10.

In looking back through my posts I always enjoy going all the way back to the beginning and seeing if there are any trends in some of the most popular posts I've ever posted. Here are the top 10 posts of my blog: 10.   Model Making, Flubber, and Slime:   With one last day of party planning and cleaning we, once again, hit the road for some errands on Friday.   The boys were thrilled that I allowed them to bring their Nintendo DS's in the car while we finished up some last minute shopping...  Ian talked me into buying him a model making kit.  My husband and I have been talking about what a great hobby this would be for Ian but most of the kits we've found are for cars or airplanes and Ian has no interest.  Today he found a Monster Jam Gravedigger truck and begged me for the kit...  Continue reading for our flubber and slime recipes.   9.

Every December as we wind up another year I like to look back on the year and reflect.  I tend to do the same thing with my blog. I look back and see what posts were popular, which ones flopped, and which ones I enjoyed writing the most.  It's always fun to try and see if I can figure out WHY a certain post was so popular. Here is a countdown of the 10 most popular posts I wrote in 2017 with a link back to each one.. just in case you missed it! #10- French Bread Pizza recipe  -- I was so surprised that one of my recipes made it into the top 10!  this is a quick and easy recipe for a weeknight dinner. 9.  The books I read in November -- I'm stumped as to why this list was more popular than all the other book lists of all the other months out of the year but I did read some great books in November. 8.  Weekly Wrap- Up: The Week we Celebrated Thanksgiving -- Not sure why this weekly wrap- up was so much more popular than all the othe...

In looking back through my posts I always enjoy going all the way back to the beginning and seeing if there are any trends in some of the most popular posts I've ever posted. Here are the top 10 posts of my blog: 10.   Grinch Day :  Imagine my surprise when I announce that it's Grinch day and I'm told "I don't like the Grinch.  He's mean and scary."  Hmm... that wasn't what I had planned...  Luckily, after a bit more conversation I discovered that Evan and Alec don't like the "real" Grinch movie with Jim Cary but they do like the cartoon version (which we have).  Of course, Ian only likes the "real" version and not the cartoon version, but that's OK since we have that version too... Read on to see all of our activities and ideas for a fun Grinch Day.  9.   100 Days of Art : I read somewhere (and I can't remember WHERE!) about a 100 day art challenge and I thought that would be something fun to tackle with t...
