The Top 10 Posts For 2012 (And What I Thought Should Have Been The Top 10 Posts!)

I tell ya, sometimes I write a post and I’m convinced it will “go viral.”

“Ah, yes,” I say to myself, stroking my chin. I hit Publish. “Yeah, this will bring all the mamas to the yard.”

And then nothing. Crickets. Tumbleweeds all through my comments section.

But then another post, one where I’m rambling and not making sense and venting and letting emotion seep through every keystroke, well that one ends up getting retweeted 1,000 times and everyone and their mama has liked it on Facebook. *head scratch*

So I officially give up on trying to predict which ones will resonate with the most people. I’ll just stick to writing.

As I looked over the top 10 posts of the year, the ones I could have sworn would have been on the list….weren’t. But no worries, the ones you liked, I liked too.

Here’s the official list:
