I thought it would be fun if we had a bit of a year in review post…Today I am sharing with you the most visited posts of 2012.
We had so much fun chronicling our life in photo this last year. I will definitely be using this list as a reminder again in 2013!
10 Simple Birthday Party Decorations
Normally I wouldn’t post a round-up, but this one was soooo popular. I am always amazed at how simple, simple decoration can make such a HUGE difference. I used a couple of these tutorials this past year and they were all easy to implement.
Peppermint Hot Chocolate Mix Recipe
This is my favorite hot chocolate recipe. I like this mix better than any store bought recipe and it’s so much cheaper!
Add Your Instagram Photos to Your Blogger Sidebar
Instagram has become the go-to social networking app for so many of us. Make sure ALL of your readers can keep up and add a little visual bling to your sidebar with this easy tutorial.
Let’s be honest. When it comes to getting ready in the morning, I am LAZY. I love shortcuts and this beachy spray was a lifesaver this last summer! If the weather weren’t so cold I would let my hair air dry with it every day.
2012 DIY Trends (You can check on me and see how accurate I actually was now)
Hmmm. I don’t know about the bows, but I think I was pretty spot on with most of the other trends. What do you think?

We’ve had so much fun celebrating holidays and movies this last year…I just couldn’t miss an opportunity to use cotton candy and celebrate the life of Dr. Seuss.
Oreo Love Bugs
Each and every February we’re paid a visit by the love bugs…They leave little love notes and gifts for the kids around Valentine’s Day. We usually kick of the visit with a themed snack and the kids loved making these cookie bugs.
How to Create a Blog Editorial Calendar
I just started working on my 2013 calendar. I can’t say that I always stay on target, but having a plan sure does help!
It was so much fun looking back on the year. Looking forward to a great 2013!
I’d love to see what you’ve been up to this year. If you’ve written a post about your top project or if you’d like to share your #1 favorite project, link it up!
Hi Tauni,
I would love to link up but after refreshing many times I am still not seeing the link…..I’ll check back later
Happy Holidays!

Hey Kim, try it again. I was having some trouble with the back end on my site this morning and that post was showing a little wonky. I just checked it though and it looks like it’s working now!
Great list, Tauni! 🙂 Hope you’re feeling ok!
I LOVE end of the year wrap-ups. Loved looking and reading through yours. I do hope you are feeling much better and that your Christmas was memorable.. Wishing you a wonderful 2013 Happy New Year!!!
Angelina
I’m posting my list on Saturday, I think. I’ll make sure and come back and link up then! Always fun to look back and see that you did do a lot of cool stuff over the course of the year.
Kendra, I hope you will link up. I am looking forward to reading your post and seeing if I missed out on anything! xoxo, Tauni
I missed some great posts! I will have to go back and check them out. I especially appreciated the post on creating an editorial calendar as one of my “New Year’s Resolutions” is to simply blog consistently! This will certainly help! Thanks!
Cynthia, I live off of these round-up posts because it seems like I always miss good stuff! xoxo Tauni
Thanks for hosting this end-of-the-year party, Tauni! Not sure how I missed your homemade beach waves spray, but I’m definitely going to try it because I love beach sprays and creams year-round! (Well, my hair does…at least I think it does!) Happy New Year!
Thanks Laura! My hair loves this stuff year-round actually. In fact, I used it this morning! I am cautious not to use it too much simply because I think the salt is a bit drying, but I still use it at least once or twice a week. xoxo, Tauni
Great to see a summary of the year…I headed over to the editorial post right away!
Thanks Kristen. I hope you find the editorial calendar post helpful. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! Tauni
This is a great post! I have a 1st birthday party THIS FRIDAY that I need to get working on so I will be using those birthday party ideas for sure!
Thanks M! All of the party decor is sooo simple and it’s such an easy addition to any party theme. Hope you have a fun time with the party! They grow so fast…xoxo Tauni
Thanks for hosting! Excited to go look at all of the links above! Happy New Year!
🙂 Claire
I missed that editorial post! Clicking to it now….I want to do this for 2013! Thanks Tauni! (Hope you are feeling well!)
Summer, Hope you got a chance to peak at the editorial calendar post. Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can help you out.
Thanks,
Tauni
