Top 10 Most Read Blog Posts Of 2014

I still can’t believe that 2014 is coming to an end. This year was truly a roller coaster ride for me. I closed the door on one business so that I could focus on growing this blog. I made many mistakes along the way, but in the end I’m glad that I had the opportunity to do something that I absolutely love. To say that I’m grateful for every single person that reads this blog or that shares and comments (even the not so nice ones) would be understatement. The fact that you take the time to hop on over to read about what’s going on in my tiny corner of the world has been a huge blessing to me.

With the new year approaching I wanted to see what posts resonated with you this past year. I was a little surprised to find out that one of the most popular categories was frugal living. It truly makes me happy to know that others want to take control of their finances and live within their means. So without further delay here are the top 10 most read blog posts of 2014:
