    Top 5 Posts of 2016

    January 19, 2017 /

    Since I love a good countdown and have been seeing quite a few Top 5 Posts of 2016, I thought it might be entertaining (and, admittedly, a bit self-indulgent) to look back, too, especially because I’m grounded until March. (Have a mentioned that? Ha!) Granted, the statistics are from a whole 3 months, but still… Here we go…

After opening my parents’ cupboard to be greeted with an inordinate amount of travel mugs we had given to them, I decided we really needed to branch out.

So, I felt a good list was in order (naturally). Oh, and this isn’t researched; these are just gifts that are popular on my list.
