     It is amazing how quickly 2018 has gone by! Looking over our past posts is pretty fascinating for me because much of what has happened in our lives is recorded here on our blog.  There is a lot of living going on, and a lot of learning and growing. That is what I love about doing this blog with my daughters and with the support of the rest of our family.  The growth and fun is all so apparent. We cover for each other when times are tough and we encourage each other in new endeavors.  I am so proud of my family and I appreciate all of you, our readers, who stick with us and give us ideas and encouragement as well!  Thank you so much for being here! 

     So, barring any sudden surge in activity over the next few days before 2019, here are our top 12 posts from the past year! These are the ones that have had the most engagement when they have been found on Facebook.  (Please be sure to like our page!) 

1. I am pretty proud of #1 on the list because I took a lot a ribbing about the cheesiness of this video from my siblings! Ha Ha! But, that was the point!  This is the post about Dollar Tree carrying Hallmark Cards! You can't beat .50 for a greeting card. 
2. Who doesn't love a baby story? And this one about Emily's birth is especially sweet.  Renny's "How to Grow a Human" post was very popular! 
3. Our 3rd place post was written by Alicia's husband, Adrian! He is from Ecuador and we have a number of his recipes on the blog already, but this time he actually cooked and wrote the post as well! Thanks Adrian! His post, Ecuadorian Arroz con Menestra y Carne & Plantain Cake actually has two recipes for you to enjoy. 
4. In December I shared the Gluten-free Brownie Recipe with you.  I am telling you, it is the best! Others must have thought so as well because it came in fourth! 
5. Many people are looking for a good side hustle they can do to make a little extra income. (Or a lot of extra income.) LIndsey shared some great resources on this popular post. 
6. Maddy and I went to Disneyland and I made a copycat recipe of the Beef Poutine I had at the Red Rose Tavern.  It is really good! We are thinking we should make it tonight! 
7. At Easter Time I shared my sister-in-law's traditional Portuguese Easter Bread.  It was so nice to think of her as I made it. 
8. Another Ecuadorian Recipe post made it in the top 12, and once again, you get 2 for the price of 1.  And since the price is free, that is a bonus! Both of these recipes use shrimp! Yum! 
9. Numbers 8 & 9 are actually tied. This post is a couple of years old but received a lot of attention this year.  Florida Fudge.  Do I need to say more?  It is the hands down best fudge ever. 
10. Numbers 10 & 11 are also tied!  At #10 we have the post where we share a simple way to make Disney bounding shirts.  Since Maddy and I were off to Disneyland for 5 days, we made these to be in the spirit of the trip while we were there. We had lots of compliments. 
11. I made this MIxbook Photo book about my family and blogged about it.  Since it tied with the Disney shirts, maybe I should make a photo book about our Disney trip! 
12. And last but not least is Maddy's tutorial about making your own ears to wear in Disneyland for your Disney trip.  These things will save you a ton of money and we got loads of compliments on ours. 

    There you go! If you missed any of these popular posts, go ahead and click on the links and check them out, or just take a trip back down memory lane with me.  We are gearing up for all new activities and adventures in 2019 and we hope that you will continue along with us!
