The Top Four Posts of 2011

Written by Patti on December 30th, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

Tomorrow is the big night. The last night of the year. How will you spend it?

I will be reveling with my friends and neighbors until midnight and beyond. But first, I always like to look back and see what posts resonated most with you all.

Here are the top posts for 2011.

#4 Post Party Musings, Part I. I’ve underestimated how much people like to see behind the party curtain and experience the gaffes. Yes, it’s not all perfect – far from it. But we do try to laugh it off and move forward.

#3 The Ugly Dog Contest. Looking back, you can’t help but laugh at that super ugly dog. Bless his heart. If you are a dog lover, you know that dogs are the best people. True story.

#2 Just Chicken Salad. Oh my sweet neighbor Miquela is whipping up the city’s best chicken salad. You really should order some from her. Or not. If you order it, you will want to eat nothing else and I will get none. And I could live off of this. It is THAT good.

And our Number One Post of 2011 (drum roll, please Questlove…….)

#1 Dr. Seuss Baby Shower! My precious friend, Arlynn, was our guest writer for this post and everyone just adored her fabulous ideas for this whimsical baby shower. Arlynn and I share a love of entertaining and it shows through this post.

Arlynn's award winning post and party.

What were some of your favorite posts of 2011? What would you like to see more of in 2012? I can’t wait to celebrate another year with you all.

xoxo, Patti
