2013 was the year I started Learn Like A Mom, and I didn’t start until July, so my favorite blog posts from 2013 are really from the last six months.

I recently shared the Top Blog Posts in 2013, which were decided by Google Analytics, but there were some of my favorites that weren’t included.

Since this is my blog and I can share whatever I’d like, I wanted to share some faves of my own!

They’re really in no certain order, but I’ll tell you why I like each one of them.

My Fun Fall Pancakes post is a fave because it was a fun morning getting creative in the kitchen with the kids and there’s always a learning experience involved there.

I love the post on making these Photo Magnets because I love pictures and finding a use for my Shutterfly negative sheets was an added bonus.

I absolutely LOVE this Walnut Kale Pesto in the one recipe that I’m sharing on this list. I had it on Portabello Burgers here, but it’s delish on anything.

I couldn’t have a list of my favorite blog posts without including a book list. I like this list of Santa Books a lot because A) I love Christmas, B) I love Santa, C) I love reading, and D) I met Stacy McAnulty, the author of Dear Santasaurus at a writer’s conference in September 2013…and she’s talented, humble, honest, and hard-working.

Speaking of children’s book authors, some of the best hours of 2013 for me was listening to Eric Carle speak about his life and work. What I Learned From Eric Carle was also one of my first blog posts.

As I have started this journey of professional blogging, I have learned a ton! I like this post on Webhosting because it’s something I’ve learned about, but still could learn more!

I’m not a North Carolina Native, but when you live here, you’re considered a Tar Heel. (Whether you’re a fan of the UNC Tar Heels or not.) I like these Tar Heel Footprints because these feet add life to my house! Plus it’s a cute home decoration!

And, that concludes my favorite blog posts of 2013!
