Most Popular Posts of 2016

Wednesday, December 28, 2016


Several floral posts were among the top ten most popular posts on my blog in 2016.


As 2016 winds down, it's time to look back at this year's most read posts here on my blog.  But before we take a look I want to thank you, My Sweet Readers, for reading my little blog.  You are what makes blogging fun!

1.   The Little Paris Bookshop

Imagine my surprise that one of my Literary Friday posts was the most viewed post for the year. This is the first time that it's ever happened, and I was truly shocked!  I loved the book, too: It was one of my favorites of the year.

2.   Everything's Coming Up {Florals}

This post has a hodge podge of floral delights.  Below are our pajama stairs from our kitchen heading upstairs to the girls' bedrooms and classroom.

3.   Hello!  It's *Me* {Mustang Sally}

The next most popular post is Mustang Sally's guest post.  She is Finlay's little mama, and we are so blessed to have adopted her into our family during the summer.

4.   Shelley's Dorm Decor

I wasn't really surprised that Shelley's adorable dorm made the top five.  Shelley loves to decorate, and she is an avid HGTV viewer.

5.   Hidden Figures

Rounding out the top five is another Literary Friday post I wrote earlier this month, Hidden Figures. I loved this book, too.

Now I want to share with you my favorite posts from 2016.


1.   The Coincidence of Coconut Cake

Not only did I love the book, but I learned how to make the most delicious coconut cake *ever*
I enjoy learning new things, and I do love coconut cakes with toasted coconut!

2.   Happy Birthday, Shanley Belle!

Shanley Belle loves the Chicago Cubs, so that's the theme she chose for her birthday party.

3.   Scooby Doo, Where Are You?

This post helped me get in touch with my inner child.  The Scooby Doo cartoon inspired my dining room Halloween tablescape.

4.   The News of the World

My favorite book of 2016!

5.   Advent Day Twenty-Two

I enjoy my Advent serious each year because it increases my anticipation of Christmas.  I'm worse than a little kid!  This is the guest post Shanley Belle wrote, and it was the most popular of the Advent posts. Maybe folks prefer hot chocolate to cookies.  Who knew?  But seriously, this is the best hot chocolate *ever*

Please come back on Friday for a Christmas edition of Literary Friday.  I'll review a cozy mystery and a book written by Donna VanLiere.



Until next time...

Merry Christmas!

  3. I would like to read A little Paris Bookshop and try your Pistou recipe. The Coincidence of Coconut Cake and Hidden Figures sound interesting also. I did read News of the World and recommend it.
