I decided it might be nice to take a look back at the past year for the blog and am joining a group of bloggers in sharing our statistics in the form of a 2012 Traffic Report. I am so grateful for all the readers and my fellow bloggers who help share what is going on in our little corner of the blogosphere.
Many thanks to the nearly 53,000 individuals who visited our site during 2012. We hope to see you coming back this year (and sharing your favorite posts with your friends!)

Top 10 Most Viewed Posts
This is probably my favorite list to see as it helps me determine which types of posts people most want to read. I can’t say the bigger giveaways having so many views is surprising. But, it’s nice to see that a few of my recipe posts are favorites (and I’ve got several in queue for sharing this year!) I did have 2 posts that were in the top 10 which were ‘follow’ pages for group giveaways, but am not listing those as it’s not what I consider true content.
