Top Ten Posts of 2020

Grab a warm cup of your favorite cozy drink, and join me as I recap my top ten posts of 2020.

2020 wasn’t all bad. It was filled with more family time. More phone calls and Zooms to check in on friends and loved ones. More time for old (and new) hobbies. And, it was my first year blogging here at MWLS!

As a brand new blogger, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but 2020 was filled with some amazing pinch me moments that will be hard to top. In July, I attended my first (virtual) Haven conference for bloggers. I made new friends and learned from some of the very best in the world of blogging. And, thanks to Haven, I landed dream partnerships this fall with both RYOBI and The Home Depot for their annual Holiday Style Challenge.

Top Ten Posts of 2020

As I reflect on this past year with gratitude, I also wanted to share a look back at my top ten posts of 2020. It has been fun to see what you enjoyed the most. I’m thrilled you loved these posts as much I did, and I can’t wait to share more with you in 2021!

My top ten posts of 2020 include a mix of recipes, DIYs, and seasonal decor, which is exactly what MWLS is all about. I started this blog with a dream of sharing my love of homemaking with others. None of which would be possible without you, my readers. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for letting me live out my dream.

Now, counting down from number ten all the way to number one, here are my top ten posts of 2020. Just click on the blue links to see each post.

10. DIY Rain Barrel On A Budget

Starting with number 10 on my list of top ten posts of 2020 is our DIY rain barrel. This was, without a doubt, one of my favorite projects of the year. It was easy to make with the help of a simple kit, and all of the supplies cost less than $150!

9. Simple Apple Fritter Monkey Bread

With bits of fresh apple, hints of cinnamon, and a sweet glaze, this simple apple fritter monkey bread is great for breakfast or dessert.

8. How To Style A Cozy And Welcoming Fall Porch

Fall time here at MWLS was a clear favorite, with several autumn-inspired posts earning spots in the top ten. Coming in at number eight on my top ten posts of 2020 is our cozy fall porch. I loved the addition of the cornstalks, and I couldn’t forget my favorite doormat.

7. Cool Cucumber Pasta Salad

Next on the countdown is one of my most favorite recipes. Made with Penne pasta, fresh cucumbers, and a sweet dressing, this cool cucumber pasta salad is the perfect refreshing summertime side dish.

6. 15 Things To Buy At Vintage Flea Markets

My love for vintage decor inspired this next post, 15 things to buy at vintage flea markets. Outside of blogging, shopping at antique stores and vintage markets is one of my favorite hobbies. I wasn’t able to go to many markets this year, but I am hoping to make up for it in 2021!

5. How To Make A Corn Husk Wreath

We are halfway through the countdown, and coming in at number five on my top ten posts of 2020 is this DIY corn husk wreath. Both fun and affordable, it was my favorite DIY project of the fall.

4. 10 Delicious Iced Coffee Recipes

It seems you all love coffee as much as I do! This post is filled with several of the best iced coffee recipes that you can recreate at home. Each one is simple, delicious, and less expensive than the chain coffee shop version.

3. Cozy And Colorful Fall Home

I love using a variety of bright colors in my decor each season. That was apparent this fall during my cozy and colorful fall home tour. Just look at those pretty rust and gold tones! I have experimented with different colors over the years, but this past fall’s color scheme may just be my favorite.

2. Timeless Red And Gold Holiday Home Tour

Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year. This post brings me so much joy and happiness, and I’m thrilled you loved my timeless red and gold holiday home tour as much as I did.

1. The Best Bubbly Cheesy Shrimp Dip

And….coming in at number one on my top ten posts of 2020 is my recipe for the best bubbly cheesy shrimp dip! I was honored to create this recipe in partnership with Pampered Chef as part of their 40th-anniversary celebration this fall. Filled with fresh shrimp, melty cheeses, minced garlic, and herbs, there’s a reason this dip is one of the best you’ll ever have!

Reflecting on 2020

This year was certainly not without its challenges, but it is because of those challenges that I was reminded of what is truly important. I have so much to be grateful for, and that includes each of YOU! Thank you for your support and for visiting the blog each week. I hope you enjoyed this year’s look back at my top ten posts of 2020. I look forward to continuing on this journey together in 2021. 

Cheers to a happy and healthy New Year!
