I’m sharing my best blog posts and pages in 2024
Hello friends! How are you? How was the weekend? Ours was good. The kids hung out a lot, P played a basketball game, and I taught two barre classes. The pilot had to work and it’s hard to believe that was his last practice weekend EVER; retiring at the end of the month!
For today’s post, I’m sharing a roundup of my best blog posts and pages from the past year. It’s always fun to go through the analytics and see which posts are performing well, and almost all of them are posts I’ve created to try to provide a ton of value, like a recipe, how-to, full review, etc. It’s also an interesting year because there are a lot of those posts that my SEO team went back and operated on. SEO is SEO-ing and I’m into it! It’s also such a great way to introduce new readers to the blog and prevent posts from going live and dying.
Here’s the full review!
The most popular posts and pages of 2024
1. Home page of the blog
This one means the most to me because it means most readers are my online friends who click directly to the blog without finding it through Google. I love hanging out with you all every day and it means the world to me that you check in to see what’s going on. <3
2. Healthy homemade food for dogs
Masie’s Dog Food Recipe! I loved putting this post together because she absolutely LOVES this dog food and so many people have let me know their pups love it too! I make a big batch every two weeks or so and she goes crazy for it.
3. Homemade gelatin gummies for gut health
This is the recipe which kids ask to make all the time; they love it and it’s such a good way to get in gut-healthy ingredients.

9. How to set up your Peloton bike (or any spin bike)

20. Homemade sea salt hair spray
A simple texture spray recipe that you can make at home. You probably also have most of the ingredients on hand.
