This year has been a great year for me with the growth of my blog. I wanted to start the year by sharing with you the top 15 posts as voted by the number of pageviews.

Love all these great posts! All the best post from the blog The Real Thing with the Coake Family in 2015. It includes recipes, organization ideas, crafts, sewing, gift ideas and some fashion. Love!

Last year, my blog grew by 154% in pageviews. As of today, December 29, 2015, I’m at 1,993,157 pageviews for 2015. By tomorrow, I should hit 2 million pageviews for 2015. Won’t that be amazing! For 2014, I didn’t even hit 1 million pageviews, so that is some great growth.!

My followers in all my social media channels grew as well. Most of those nearly doubled for the year. My income from the blog also grew by 300%. Yay! I’ve worked really hard to turn my blog into a business and that is a sign that it is paying off. I’m about 1/3 of the way to full-time income, which is my goal, but for the first year, I made a profit. I’m super happy about that! Of course, I’d prefer to be at full-time income, but I have big plans for 2016 and I’m hopeful to see another 300% gain in income this year.

So what exactly were the most popular posts here on The Real Thing with the Coake Family? I’ve got the top 15 in reverse order. I’m a numbers nerd, so I’m going to show you how many pageviews each post got as well. These top 15 are taken only from posts that were published in 2015.

Who could use some fun about now? It's been a roug Who could use some fun about now? It's been a rough year for literally the world. As moms, I think we have taken a huge hit as well. The demands placed on us this year seem to have tripled. I think it's time to have a sucker - maybe made out of wine 😂 and plan something fun or maybe even just 5 minutes alone or without a kid needing us. 🤣 #5minutesformom #realmoms⁣

I love these simple stars I made last year. 🤩 They feel kinda perfect for this year....just a nod to 4th of July and a bigger nod to cuteness. 😉  You can learn how to make them at the link in my bio @realcreativerealorganized ⁣
