{Don’t miss my blogiversary Smidge and Pinch giveaway!}

In light of my four years of blogging, I thought it would be fun to look at some of my most popular posts.


The Dukes and Duchesses Top Ten

#10 :: A Prayer Board {a board for encouraging family prayers}

#9 :: Cute and Whimsical Marshmallow Sheep {a fun little Easter treat}

#8 :: Back to School Cakes {ten years of our first-day-of-school treats}

#7 :: Dumpster Diving {Kennedy’s first dumpster diving experience and my redux of the loot}

#6 :: Handprints {five years of treasured twin handprints}

#5 :: A Lego Playdate {a summer playdate with friends}

#4 :: How to Make A Soccer Cupcake Cake {a tutorial}

#3 :: A Pottery Barn Knock-Off {the first rendition of my drink dispenser which then turned into this and finally into this}

#2 :: The Ever-Controversial Gun-Wielding Valentines {who knew an innocent valentine could draw such controversy?  These valentines have been viewed thousands of times and were even the subject of a chat forum.}

#1 :: Luke and Lila’s Camping Party {definitely the most popular of my parties}

Thanks for sharing my top ten!
