Top Blog and Instagram Posts of 2017

With the end of the year only days away, I had to take a moment to look back at the posts that y’all love most. It’s always really interesting to see what posts do best! They’re often not the ones that I think! And this year I also included my top-liked Instagram posts too!

Top blog posts:

In case you’re a data nerd and want to know how I determined the top posts, I analyzed page views!  These are the top five posts that received the most views and clicks over the past twelve months!

2. Baby-related posts

With everything that happened with my pregnancy this year, it’s no surprise that these posts were some of my top-read ones. Even though these made up many of my top five, I combined them into one section. Although my pregnancy and ultimate loss were a big part of my 2017, I don’t want it to be the sole focus of my year. If you missed them, you can read my pregnancy announcement, about the HLHS diagnosis, and my explanation of the loss here.

Top Instagram posts

For top Instagram posts, it was a little more straight-forward! I just picked the ones that received the most likes! No surprise that many of them came from before the algorithm change on Insta! But I was surprised that y’all seem to really be loving gray! Maybe they’ll be some more gray outfits in your future!! 😉

    THis is such a fun way to look back on the year, although understandably some moments were a little sad.

    Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and are having a great week! I’m enjoying that quiet lazy period between Christmas and New Years and relaxing a bit. Hoping 2018 is a magical year for you.

    This is so fun to see! I enjoyed doing this too. Isn’t it interesting to see what is most popular? I love your top down posts. I need to master those. I don’t know how you do it so well?! You need to do a post on that! Location, lighting, time of day, angle, etc. I would love it!
