2016 By the Numbers

At the end of each year I like to spend a little time reading through old posts and noting - thanks to the statistics feature associated with the blog - which topics were well-recieved (and which topics weren't, for that matter) by you, my readers. I have always written and will continue to write in my own voice, and I know how important it is for my blog remain a true representation of who I am, but I want my words to reach out in a way you find interesting and engaging.

Along those lines, here are this year's most popular posts (according to number of views):

• Beanbag Bummer
• Heart (Wrist) Break
• Makeover Mission Accomplished 
• Daddy Does Hair 
• Rate Your Restaurants, Round 1
• Two Whole Hands
• July Jackpot
• 2nd and the Beginning of the End
• Weeping Wednesday 
• Happy New(ish) Year!
• No. Just No.
• A Mickeytastic Bucket List: Disneyland

And here are a few of my personal favorite posts:

• Oops, We Did It Again
• "Good Morning Lincoln!"
• Bring Earplugs
• It is Written in Every Leaf in Springtime
• Sweet and Spicy Seven
• The Family We Chose
• Wise Words
• On a Mission

Thank you, my real life and internet friends, for your support throughout 2016. For reading my posts, following Chasing Roots here on the site, "liking" Chasing Roots on Facebook, and sharing Chasing Roots with your friends and family. I am extraordinarily grateful.

I look forward to spending 2017 with you!
