Top Blog Posts of 2018

Hi all! I still can’t believe it’s officially 2019…last year FLEW by. I always love the beginning of the new year – it’s a fresh start and gets me in a mood to goal set, clean out everything in my house, and work on little things in my life to contribute to an overall happier and healthier mindset! I took a lot of time off from the blog at the end of the year and while it was nice to get a little break/reset, I am excited to get back on here and publish some new posts! I put a little poll up on Instastories the other night to get feedback on what you wanted to see more/less of in 2019 – thank you to everyone who voted and wrote me comments! I can’t wait to expand on some of those themes this year…stay tuned for more!

Before I dive into new content, I wanted to recap the top 10 blog posts from last year. Which one was your favorite??
