The new year is a gift waiting to be unwrapped and revealed little by little. There’s not much in the new year that I have control over and that’s a little scary. One thing I can control is that I can draw closer to God through it all. That is a peaceful though.
It’s always interesting to look back and see what the most popular posts were through the last year. They usually surprise me and this year is no different.
- 3 Ingredient Slow Cooker Biscuits and Gravy. I created this recipe during the year that I didn’t have a functional kitchen and it struck a chord with overwhelmed moms everywhere.
2. Coconut Blueberry Muffin in a Mug. I made this recipe for a blueberry contest with a big cash prize that I was hoping to use to finish our master bathroom. I was in the middle of a fitness contest and made the recipe as healthy as I could and still taste great. I didn’t win or even make it onto their website, but the rest of the world approved.
3. Plywood Countertops: These countertops are temporary while we save up money for real ones. Seems like there are lots of people needing lower cost options for their kitchen. Here’s the update post for how they look finished.
4. First-Steps: This isn’t technically a blog post, but it’s the heart of what this blog is about. I’m happy that the message is getting out.
Look how tiny these kids are. That baby is now 8 and the girl holding his hand is almost 16. And little Grant wasn’t even born yet….sniff. Good memories. We have got to take an updated family picture!
Speaking of the message getting out, I’m dedicating January to shrinking grocery budgets everywhere. If you haven’t known where to start or how to spend less, this is the month for you!
