Over the past couple of weeks there has been a fun post floating around the blog world, it’s an opportunity for a blogger to look back through old posts. I was wondering if I could manage to pick out these 7 links when Callie and Amanda tagged me to participate! I’ve been blogging for less than a year so this was a challenge that I was excited to take on–thanks so much for tagging me, ladies!
Most Beautiful Post: Checking In {After 3 Weeks}
This was my first post after coming back from our wedding and honeymoon, little did we know that I was also pregnant when I wrote it! Which is what makes it beautiful to me—so much happened in 3 short weeks.
Most Popular Post: On Pregnancy {Weighing In}
I wrote this post thinking that it would get some negative feedback, but instead I was surprised by the support I received! It is the highest viewed post I’ve written and I think it struck a chord with a lot of women who are used to taking care of their bodies and staying in shape—recognizing that your body is not just yours while pregnant is a hard adjustment, but completely worth it in the end.
Most Controversial Post: On Pregnancy {Weighing In}
This wasn’t actually a controversial post, like I mentioned above, but I expected it to be. It’s hard to find a controversial topic when the whole point of my blog is the share recipes and make cooking accessible to everyone. 
Most Helpful Post: This Week {In Groceries} series {and here}
Readers have told me how much they appreciate these posts because of how they help with meal planning. I hope to get back to writing these posts once our baby girl arrives and we have settled into our new normal.
A Post Whose Success Surprised You: A Look Inside {Our New House}
I know everyone loves looking inside houses—how else is HGTV so successful? I just wasn’t expecting so many people to check out this post and the video tour. I still think I have a horrendous voice, so videos will be few and far between. We do have a lot of plans for our house, so maybe there will be another video tour to compare!
A Post You Feel Didn’t Get the Attention It Deserved: On Pregnancy {My Dos and Don’ts}
I expected there to be a lot more commentary on this post than I received and all of the commentary was positive! Not that I was trying to start a controversy, but it seems like everyone, down to the checkout guy at Trader Joe’s, has an opinion on pregnancy that they want to share, I just figured there would be more of that. I’d love to hear what you think if you haven’t shared already!
{That’s my sister giving the baby a kiss—she is already so loved!}
Post You’re Most Proud Of: Something Sweet {Chai Spice Cookies}
I’m really proud of this cookie post because it was one of the first times that I shared a recipe that I made up myself. If that weren’t enough, I made the cookies vegan, which I had never done before. And they were delicious—success!
