Can you believe that a new year is just a few days away?
I think it is safe to say we are all ready for a fresh start and new year and hopefully- doing all those back to normal things very soon. Even thought 2020 was a crazy, stressful and overwhelming year – I definitely learned a lot of things this year. And I did a lot of blogging and connected with a lot of you right here. I will save my year end overall re-cap for my 2020 reflections and 2021 dreams post- today it is all about Your favorites.
What posts did you love most in 2020?
So, any ideas which posts were the ones you loved the most? Which ones spoke to you the most or that you got most excited about? Reviewing the year that was and the posts you love gives me ideas for the new year and also lets me know what you love reading about most. I didn’t include the giveaway posts since those are probably a wee bit skewed – but there are definitely themes for the things you loved this year with several posts in each category that made the list. Here they are in no particular order- click the Title of the post to read it.
