Top Fitness, Food & Fun Posts of 2015

It has been almost a year and a half since I’ve jumped into the world of blogging. In that time, my baby turned into a toddler, our family moved into a new house and, most recently, we welcomed a new addition to our family.

What started as a simple, creative outlet for me as a stay-at-home mom has turned into a real passion of mine. I hope you have enjoyed reading my posts as much as I have enjoyed writing them.

As another year draws to a close, I’m sure you’ll be seeing lots of “top fill-in-the-blank lists of 2015.” I don’t know about you, but I can’t get enough. Top 10 TV Shows of 2015! Most Shockingly Bad Celebrity Behavior of 2015! The Worst Sleeping Toddlers of 2015! Well, maybe I don’t want to read all of the lists.

With all of these lists floating around, I decided it would fun to get in on the action. Below you’ll find my most viewed posts of 2015, and the most viewed posts of some of my favorite Mom Bloggers.

10. 12 Toddler Winter Activities to Try When It’s Just Too Cold– Well, I’m so glad this post popped up because I think it’s starting to finally feel like winter. I’m going to need a bunch of activities to keep my toddler busy while stuck inside.

9. How to Keep Messy Play Not So Messy– This post goes right along with the previous one. With all those fun activities we’ll be doing this winter, I know I’ll need these tips to keep it not so messy. 

8. Healthy Pink Recipes for Valentine’s Day– I know Valentine’s Day is typically associated with decadent desserts and tasty treats, but this round up of healthy pink recipes are just as yummy. It’s doesn’t hurt that they are almost too pretty to eat!

7. Car Themed Party for Toddlers– I can’t believe W turned two almost 5 months ago! The kids had such a great time with the simple car-themed games, and W still talks about his car cake. 

6. Deviled Eggs and Ham Sandwich Recipe– This recipe was a part of an awesome Easter roundup of yummy recipes. It’s perfect for your Easter leftovers. 

5. The Easiest Way to Leave Your House with a Toddler and a Newborn– It has gotten slightly easier to leave the house with a toddler and a newborn since I wrote this post. I may have to update it!

4. Fiesta Chicken Avocado Burger Recipe– Here’s my most viewed recipe of 2015. It’s simple to make, really tasty and a healthier alternative to your average hamburger.

3. 12 Signs Your Baby has a Serious Case of FOMO– “Fear of Missing Out-” my children have it, and they have it bad. Every word of this post is sadly accurate for both of my children. I was somewhat relieved to see so many other parents experience the same thing when my post was syndicated by Scary Mommy.

2. 10 Dos and Don’ts of Running While Pregnant– 2015 was a wonderful, busy year! Even though I felt pregnant throughout most of the year, I was happy to be able to keep working out throughout my pregnancy. I really think it helped me bounce back after giving birth. Running is a lot easier when you aren’t carrying all that extra weight out front. 

1. How to Get Your Toddler to Eat More Veggies– It’s no surprise to me that this post was my most-viewed of 2015. It’s difficult to get your toddler to eat veggies with so many yummy desserts available. As W gets older, he has slowly morphed into the cookie monster. That being said, I still manage to get him to eat a good amount of veggies.
