2014: Top Ten Blog Posts

December 30, 2014 By Talya Tate Boerner 2 Comments

As we approach the end of 2014—wha?—I’m looking back and recapping my top ten blog posts from the past twelve months. I did this last year too. You can see top posts from 2013 HERE.

While these posts are considered top ten based on page views, they may not necessarily be your favorites. Or mine. But I will say, these top ten blog posts make me believe people love to eat while cheering for the underdog. And apparently someone out there must enjoy decorating for fall. Or porches. Or both.

And by the way, if you make it to the end of this post, I have included a few of my favorites that apparently flew beneath the blog statistic radar. It happens.

    As I said on Facebook, it would be hard for me to choose. I have to put your posts about Alison near the top though because that kind of championing can be the difference between someone feeling support and not wanting to disappoint and feeling alone and hopeless. I pray she’ll continue to be strong in recovery in the coming year.
