And so we end another year! Hello 2018!

Like all years, I like to look back over the course of the past 365 days and check out what we got up to on the blog. There are always highs and lows to any year, and in the blogging world it’s no different.

2017 was a great blogging year, with many different posts being shared, people joining our little online community, people posting lovely comments and sending me messages. I made some lovely blogging friends too, and kept up to date with old ones. Outside the blogging world, I did a lot of travel this year and I think I need a month off.

Looking at last year’s blogging roundup, I was thinking about how a lot of my friends were going to be moving away at the beginning of 2017. I can now safely say that I survived a year without them. Mostly thanks to social media and a whole lot of flying between cities. That’s the joy of New Zealand; it’s so small no one is really ever too far away.

Today I thought I’d share 10 of the most popular posts of 2017, so you can look back and check out any that you missed. All the links are below!
