I hope y’all have had a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Thank you so much for letting me share the month of December with you. It has been a true pleasure. I’m honored to have the chance to show you some of my favorite blog posts from Easy Peasy Pleasy.

At first, I thought I should share my most popular posts, but then I thought those aren’t necessarily my favorites. Let me tell you, this is not an easy task. It’s extremely hard to narrow down my favorites because each one holds its own place in my heart. They may not be my best photography, but they are still projects I love.

One of my all-time favorite DIY projects turned out to be not so easy. My hope was by providing the how-to, it could make a similar project easier for readers. This Wicker Bench Redo was a labor of love for a friend and has a wonderful little back story.

I can’t go without mentioning a post that was inspired by my husband’s cooking. This recipe resonates especially since we live in Arkansas and duck hunting is a favorite pastime. My husband’s secret ingredient is what makes these Jalapeno Duck Poppers soooo good.

If I show off my hubby’s skills then I must spotlight my kiddo. Dr. Seuss week is one of my favorite PTO events. I made Garrett a costume every year. Doesn’t he look great in this DIY Green Eggs and Ham Costume? You can make it too. Just follow my directions and give me a shout if you get stuck.

Another favorite PTO event revolves around the Teachers. I say, go big or go home! To this day, I still love this All American Camping theme we hosted for Teacher Appreciation Week from a few years back. This week long event was so much fun to plan and decorate.

After sharing my favorites, I thought it’s only right to share my most popular post. This recipe is an Easy Peasy Pleasy original. I made up these Cheese Steak Quesadillas and took the pictures on a weeknight after the sun had gone down. I really had no idea what I was doing photography wise. I guess that’s why I’m so surprised that it has been viewed over 220,000 times this year. I figure it’s because the recipe speaks for itself. It really is delicious.

I have so many more favorite recipes and DIY projects on the blog. If you get a chance, take a scroll through Easy Peasy Pleasy. You might find something delicious to try or an easy DIY project to tackle.

The success in my short blogging career couldn’t be what it is without this wonderful group. Thank you all so much for your support. I can’t wait to see what all we do in the new year!
