In celebration of another year in the blogging books, I rounded up the top 10 posts from 2017 as determined by page view. Y'all were into babies, motherhood/parenting, NFP, and obscure liturgical things.
That's why we're such good friends!
In ascending order....

I Survived Two Weeks of Solo Parenting + A Giveaway!
Now I'm willing to bet this showed up so high on the list becuase there was a giveaway involved. But getting through two weeks of solo parenting a 4 and 2 year old, while 4 months pregnant, was an accomplishment and I'm stinkin' proud of it!

That Time I Cried in Church - How Parishes Can Be More Family Friendly
"We have been attending the 8am mass at our parish for a few years now. We are, typically, the only family with young kids at that mass.
That has been far and away a positive experience. ...
But then there is an event like yesterday, and I end up crying silent tears in the pew."
Small changes make a big difference for young family just trying to make it to mass every week!

NFP and the Single Woman
The lack of stories about single women using NFP to track their own health bothered me and I'm not even single! Thanks to the five women who shared their personal stories with us that past NFP Awareness Week.
