2020 was quite a year! Looking back, it was a strange year with a lot of negatives, but I accomplished a lot. How are you feeling about it? Here’s a recap of my top blog posts from 2020.
I’m happy to see the year end because there were some real downers this year. But aside from the big bad things of 2020, I had a productive year in my home and garden.
And that makes me feel really happy.
I really want to thank you all for following along on the blog, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook. Getting to chat with you in comments, DM’s and emails has been a thrill. And this online community has been a lifesaver during this very strange year. I appreciate you all more than you know.
I wanted to take this opportunity to look back at my top blog posts of 2020 because they were your favorites.
They aren’t listed in any particular order, so I grouped them for you in home/DIY and garden categories.
So I hope you’ll enjoy the recap and check out any posts you may have missed!
