Yearly Wrap-Up - By the Words and Numbers

I'm proud of how far Midwestern Girl has come since it began in April of 2011, and even prouder of the growth the site has experienced in the last six months. I'm fairly certain that when the site first went live, the only people reading my posts were my mom and sister. Recently, however, the site has received more than 100 hits each day and in the vicinity of 3,000 hits each month.

In case you missed them, here are the most popular posts according to the numbers:

• No Bully Tour
• Tradition: Let's Get Our Yell On!
• Tradition: Reveille
• Kitchen Challenge: Desserts
• Tradition: Bonfire
• The Birds
• Dallas
• Tradition: Aggie Ring
• The Piston Cup, Or Not
• Pure Michigan

And for your reading pleasure, here are my top 10 favorite posts - in no particular order - from the year:

• My Apologies
• The Library Hates Me
• Why Iowa?
• Let Him Eat Cheese
• Obsessed, Parts 1 and 2
• Peace
• Where Do We Go From Here?
• A Baby No More
• My Vote Counts, Right?
• The Grass is Always GreenerIs Anyone Out There Listening?
