Happy Monday! Have y’all recuperated from the frivolity and festivities of the past several days? We had a wonderful, relaxing Christmas spent together – and it was wonderful! But we are fairly certain that we will suffer from sugar withdrawals beginning today. However, it was wonderful to eat whatever, whenever we wanted to while Christmas carols were playing in the background as we lounged around in our PJ’s all day! I think we all needed the downtime to restore and rejuvenate and we feel fabulous!

Jennifer and I had some quality blogging time to plan out part of 2015 – more of which we will be sharing with you all later. Before we got too far ahead of ourselves we took a stroll down memory lane and looked at our past projects from 2014. Boy, were we busy! We were overwhelmed with how many times y’all visited our website and read our posts. We are truly humbled and honored that you would take the time to do so. We especially love that you commented and emailed us about our projects and recipes. Thank you so very much!

Today we are sharing our year in review – Best of 2014!

2 Bees in a Pod - Best of 2014 from our blog

First, we are sharing the two most absolute, popular posts:

This recipe for White Chicken Chili was hands-down our most popular post. And yes, this chili is that delicious. This recipe was provided to us by one of our readers, Patty, and we are so thrilled that y’all like it so much.

Perfect Recipte - Worlds Best White Chicken ChiliClose behind in the popularity contest is Jennifer’s new Laundry Closet. Jennifer designed a super-creative way to bring her washer and dryer indoors. The laundry area was originally housed in a crawl space that she had to go outside and down a hill if she wanted to do laundry. This was a very tiny closet and it turned out beautifully!

  5. Vicki and Jennifer. I love the year end review posts because it gives us bloggers a chance to see and reflect on all that we do (and usually a great feeling of accomplishment) which if I were you I’d be soooo proud. You have done so many amazing and beautiful projects along with two medical set backs, a wedding and lots of travel. AHHH Mazing and lots of hard work and love in there. I’m so happy to call you friends and looking forward to what the new year has in store for you. Happy New Year, Lisa

    1. Lisa…you are the sweetest thing! We are very proud of the accomplishments we made in 2014 – despite setbacks 🙂 Just think of what we can all do in 2015! I am excited to see what the future brings and where the road will take us! We are ready for the ride 🙂
