Starr Struck's 10 Most Popular Posts of 2018

I've already written about how this blog took a back seat in 2018. And while it's true that I blogged less over the past year than ever before (in my almost 9 years of blogging!), I still wrote a lot of posts that I'm proud of and shared more vulnerably than perhaps ever before. 

So today, as with the past few years, I thought I'd do a quick round-up of the blog posts that you liked the most in 2018.

Although I haven't included it below, the #1 most read/viewed blog post of 2018  (by far!) was the one I wrote when we were looking for a new home for Sayde. This shows the amazing outpouring of support, shares, and help from all of you, so THANK YOU for that. 

Here are the 10 most-read posts above + beyond the Sayde post:

2011: The Yoga/Teaching Yoga Year
2012: The Wedding Planning + Marriage Year
2013: The Big Move [to Cape Cod] Year
2014: The Total Self-Employment Year [+ Sayde Year!]
2015: The Home Ownership/Home Improvement Year
2016: The Pregnancy + New Baby Year
2017: The Figuring Out Motherhood Year
2018: The Loss + Big Life Challenges Year

As you can see from this year's theme (and not to repeat what I said in Friday's post),  I am SO ready to say byeeee to 2018! And I'm pumped about 2019. It's going to be a good one--I can feel it. 

Have a wonderful NYE and I'll 'see' you back here in 2019! As Charlie Mae would say, weehaw!
