Sharing my top blog posts and pages of 2024<\/em><\/p>\n

Hi friends! How are you? How was the weekend? Ours was a good one. The kids had lots of friend time, P had a basketball game, and I taught two barre classes. The Pilot had to work and it\u2019s hard to believe it was his last drill weekend EVER; he retires at the end of the month!<\/p>\n

For today\u2019s post, I\u2019m sharing a roundup of my top blog posts and pages from the past year. It\u2019s always fun to go through analytics and see which posts perform well, and almost all of these are posts I created to try to give a ton of value, like a recipe, a how-to, full review, etc. It\u2019s also an interesting year because quite a few of these are posts that my SEO team went back and did surgery on. SEO is SEO-ing and I\u2019m into it! It\u2019s also such a great way to introduce new readers to the blog and keep posts from being published and dying.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the full roundup!<\/p>\n

Top posts and pages of 2024<\/h2>\n

1. The blog homepage<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

This one means the most to me because it means that a majority of readers are my internet besties who click directly to the blog without finding it through Google. I love hanging out with all of you each day and it means that world to me that you check in to see what\u2019s going on. <3<\/p>\n

2. Healthy Homemade Dog Food<\/a><\/h3>\n

Masiey\u2019s dog food recipe<\/a>! I loved putting this post together because she LOVES this dog food so.much, and so many people have let me know that their pups love it, too! I make a huge batch every two weeks or so and she goes crazy for it.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Homemade gelatin gummies for gut health<\/a><\/h3>\n

This is a recipe<\/a> that the kids ask to make all the time; they love it and it\u2019s such a good way to get in some gut-nourishing ingredients.<\/p>\n

4. Easy enchiladas with rotisserie chicken<\/a><\/h3>\n

Seriously the easiest enchilada recipe<\/a> that I make all the time and is a true crowd pleaser. Using rotisserie chicken makes it way faster, too!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

5. Lazy Sunday dinner ideas<\/a><\/h3>\n

I\u2019m writing this post on a Sunday,<\/a> as I wonder what the heck we\u2019re going to eat for dinner, so this is one of those posts that I wrote because I needed it myself \ud83d\ude09 It has some of our quick and delicious go-to dinner options.<\/p>\n

6. Homemade protein ice cream<\/a><\/h3>\n

This protein ice cream is so good<\/a> if you want a sweet treat with a lil protein in there!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

7. What to expect at Orangetheory Fitness<\/a><\/h3>\n

I haven\u2019t done Orangetheory in years, but it used to be my go-to workout. Here\u2019s what you can expect in a full class.<\/a><\/p>\n

8. F45 vs. Orangetheory – my full review<\/a><\/h3>\n

I\u2019ve swapped over to F45 and in this post, I share the differences between these two popular formats.<\/a><\/p>\n

9. How to set up your Peloton bike (or any spin bike)<\/a><\/h3>\n

This is another post<\/a> I wrote because I realized that the info out there was not very helpful lol. When I made the video, I was like, \u201cI hope this helps a lot of people who are stumped on bike setup\u201d and am so pumped that it\u2019s made a difference.<\/p>\n

10. Morning detox drink with turmeric<\/a><\/h3>\n

This morning drink<\/a> is warming and cozy with lemon and turmeric; one of my favorite ways to start the day.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

11. How to take care of a fiddle leaf fig tree<\/a><\/h3>\n

This blog post credit goes 100% to Frida in all of her glory.<\/a> She\u2019s a finicky gal, and once I cracked the code on how to take care of her, I knew I needed to write a post about it.<\/p>\n

12. Pvolve review and if it\u2019s worth it<\/a><\/h3>\n

This is a workout I\u2019ve fallen in love with over the past couple of years<\/a> and got to take a live class last time we were in Scottsdale. If you\u2019re looking for a low-impact workout focused on mobility and strength, this might be an awesome fit.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

13. How to train for a half marathon while strength training<\/a><\/h3>\n

Sharing tips on how to incorporate a solid training split while training for a half marathon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

14. Whole Foods red dahl lentil soup recipe<\/a><\/h3>\n

I love this soup from Whole Foods and used to buy it all of the time. A couple of problems: I don\u2019t like the plastic lined soup cups (the hot food cause cause it to leach), and it\u2019s expensive. I knew I could make it at home on the cheap with organic ingredients, and this copycat recipe<\/a> tastes 100% like the real thing.<\/p>\n

15. Mediterranean egg bites (gluten-free and dairy free)<\/a><\/h3>\n

These egg bites<\/a> are perfect to make and store in the freezer. For a busy morning, just pop a few in the toaster oven or microwave, grab some fruit, and boom. Breakfast is served.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

16. TRX workout plan for beginners<\/a><\/h3>\n

The TRX is an amazing workout tool but can be intimidating at first. Here are some of my tips and a plan for beginners!<\/a><\/p>\n

17. How to keep your guinea pig cage clean<\/a><\/h3>\n

This post shares all of the details for how to keep your guinea pig cage clean and your house not smelling like a barn. It was my #1 concern when we got guinea pigs!<\/a><\/p>\n

18. F45 for beginners – what to expect at a class<\/a><\/h3>\n

LOVE F45 and I\u2019m sharing details about this format, what tools they use, the training split, and tips for my first-time friends.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

19. Sculpt Society Review<\/a><\/h3>\n

Sculpt Society<\/a> is one my favorite weekly workouts. The classes are SO fun and unique, I love the trainers (they\u2019re not fake\/cheesy\/over the top), and I always get a great workout. If you like barre and dance cardio, definitely give this a try.<\/a><\/p>\n

20. Homemade sea salt hair spray<\/a><\/h3>\n

A simple recipe for a texturizing spray you can make at home.<\/a> You probably have most of the ingredients on hand, too.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

So tell me, friends: what would you like to see on the blog this year? Is there anything you\u2019d like to see more of? Anything this site is missing that you\u2019d like me to include? Thank you so much for your help and feedback and for being here.<\/p>\n
