As I look ahead to 2017, I rely a lot on feedback from my readers to help me plan my future content. In addition to reading all the comments and e-mails I receive, I also look at my most popular posts from the past year.
Since many of you end up at these posts via a Pinterest pin or a Google search, you might have missed some of these. I’m putting them all together here so you can easily find my top posts. I’ve divided them into categories to make it easier for you to find the content that’s most interesting to you.
Printables
My printables are some of my post popular posts. I’m a list maker by nature. I’m also very visual so I like to create pretty printable lists to make my tasks and chores more fun. Here are the printables that were downloaded most often this year:
Random Acts of Kindness Christmas Calendar for Kids
Free Printable Family Budget Worksheets
Teacher’s Favorite Things Survey
Printable Year in Review for Kids
Recipes
I don’t love to cook, but I do love to eat. And, because I want to be a good mom, I like to make sure my whole family is well fed too. That’s why even though I’m no gourmet chef, you will find a lot of recipes on my site. These were my most popular recipes this year:
Baked Pork Chops and Apples with Brown Sugar Glaze
Faster Homemade Fortune Cookies
Life Hacks
My blog is all about doing more in less time and with less effort. I love life hacks and I love sharing them with you even more! Here were your favorites from 2016:

Kids Activities
Having a happy family is really important to me. I’m always looking for ways to have fun as a family.
I also like for my kids (especially my teens) to entertain their friends at our home so I know they are in a safe place. As a result, in addition to family activities, you’ll find a lot of activities for kids here too. These activities were the most popular this year:
New Year’s Eve Teen Party Ideas
Scavenger Hunts and Treasure Hunts
Parenting
I devote a lot of my attention to parenting topics. My children are my life and most of my time and attention has been devoted to them over the past two decades.
I’ve tried lots of different things, made a lot of mistakes, got a couple things right, and been pretty lucky overall. I share this entire journey with my readers to help them find strategies and ideas that will work for them. These are the posts that attracted the most attention in 2016:
Fun Ways to Spend Time with Your Teen Daughter

So many great posts this year! Can’t wait to see what you come up with in 2017.
