Top Ten Posts From 2018!

It’s that fun time to wrap up the year with the top 10 posts from 2018 and look forward to a new year coming.  The biggest highlight of the year for our family has been Emily being born!

I always like to do a round up post at the end of the year and share the top ten posts from the blog!

1. The Homebirth Story of our seventh baby – Emily Mercy Allen!

This was the highlight of the blog as well, as this was the top post of the whole year! What can I say, ladies love reading birth stories! And this birth story was such a blessing!

2. What I Really Think About The Girl, Wash Your Face Book 

My thoughts on the extremely popular book from this past year. I read this book with mixed emotions, initially falling in love with it, but my opinion changed.

3. The One Secret I’ve Learned For A Successful Homeschool Day

Obviously other homeschooling moms want to know what that secret is. I still wish I hadn’t come to this conclusion, but months after writing this post I still agree with every word. And a huge hug for every homeschooling mom out there. It’s HARD work!

4. Playful Pioneers for our Elementary History Program

I’m going to be honest. Having Emily in August made my grandiose plans of going through this curriculum be, well, not nearly as grandiose as I had planned. We made it halfway through Farmer’s Boy, and I finally admitted defeat for a few months and handed Olivia books to read through for history. I’m ready to get back at it in January though, and see how far we can get. The girls loved doing this!

This post just goes to show how hard it is to find breastfeeding friendly dresses for a good price!
