Sharing my top blog posts and pages of 2024

Hi friends! How are you? How was the weekend? Ours was a good one. The kids had lots of friend time, P had a basketball game, and I taught two barre classes. The Pilot had to work and it’s hard to believe it was his last drill weekend EVER; he retires at the end of the month!

For today’s post, I’m sharing a roundup of my top blog posts and pages from the past year. It’s always fun to go through analytics and see which posts perform well, and almost all of these are posts I created to try to give a ton of value, like a recipe, a how-to, full review, etc. It’s also an interesting year because quite a few of these are posts that my SEO team went back and did surgery on. SEO is SEO-ing and I’m into it! It’s also such a great way to introduce new readers to the blog and keep posts from being published and dying.

Here’s the full roundup!

Top posts and pages of 2024

1. The blog homepage

This one means the most to me because it means that a majority of readers are my internet besties who click directly to the blog without finding it through Google. I love hanging out with all of you each day and it means that world to me that you check in to see what’s going on. <3

2. Healthy Homemade Dog Food

Masiey’s dog food recipe! I loved putting this post together because she LOVES this dog food so.much, and so many people have let me know that their pups love it, too! I make a huge batch every two weeks or so and she goes crazy for it.

3. Homemade gelatin gummies for gut health

This is a recipe that the kids ask to make all the time; they love it and it’s such a good way to get in some gut-nourishing ingredients.

4. Easy enchiladas with rotisserie chicken

Seriously the easiest enchilada recipe that I make all the time and is a true crowd pleaser. Using rotisserie chicken makes it way faster, too!

5. Lazy Sunday dinner ideas

I’m writing this post on a Sunday, as I wonder what the heck we’re going to eat for dinner, so this is one of those posts that I wrote because I needed it myself 😉 It has some of our quick and delicious go-to dinner options.

6. Homemade protein ice cream

This protein ice cream is so good if you want a sweet treat with a lil protein in there!

7. What to expect at Orangetheory Fitness

I haven’t done Orangetheory in years, but it used to be my go-to workout. Here’s what you can expect in a full class.

8. F45 vs. Orangetheory – my full review

I’ve swapped over to F45 and in this post, I share the differences between these two popular formats.

9. How to set up your Peloton bike (or any spin bike)

This is another post I wrote because I realized that the info out there was not very helpful lol. When I made the video, I was like, “I hope this helps a lot of people who are stumped on bike setup” and am so pumped that it’s made a difference.

10. Morning detox drink with turmeric

This morning drink is warming and cozy with lemon and turmeric; one of my favorite ways to start the day.

11. How to take care of a fiddle leaf fig tree

This blog post credit goes 100% to Frida in all of her glory. She’s a finicky gal, and once I cracked the code on how to take care of her, I knew I needed to write a post about it.

12. Pvolve review and if it’s worth it

This is a workout I’ve fallen in love with over the past couple of years and got to take a live class last time we were in Scottsdale. If you’re looking for a low-impact workout focused on mobility and strength, this might be an awesome fit.

13. How to train for a half marathon while strength training

Sharing tips on how to incorporate a solid training split while training for a half marathon.

14. Whole Foods red dahl lentil soup recipe

I love this soup from Whole Foods and used to buy it all of the time. A couple of problems: I don’t like the plastic lined soup cups (the hot food cause cause it to leach), and it’s expensive. I knew I could make it at home on the cheap with organic ingredients, and this copycat recipe tastes 100% like the real thing.

15. Mediterranean egg bites (gluten-free and dairy free)

These egg bites are perfect to make and store in the freezer. For a busy morning, just pop a few in the toaster oven or microwave, grab some fruit, and boom. Breakfast is served.

16. TRX workout plan for beginners

The TRX is an amazing workout tool but can be intimidating at first. Here are some of my tips and a plan for beginners!

17. How to keep your guinea pig cage clean

This post shares all of the details for how to keep your guinea pig cage clean and your house not smelling like a barn. It was my #1 concern when we got guinea pigs!

18. F45 for beginners – what to expect at a class

LOVE F45 and I’m sharing details about this format, what tools they use, the training split, and tips for my first-time friends. 

19. Sculpt Society Review

Sculpt Society is one my favorite weekly workouts. The classes are SO fun and unique, I love the trainers (they’re not fake/cheesy/over the top), and I always get a great workout. If you like barre and dance cardio, definitely give this a try.

20. Homemade sea salt hair spray

A simple recipe for a texturizing spray you can make at home. You probably have most of the ingredients on hand, too.

So tell me, friends: what would you like to see on the blog this year? Is there anything you’d like to see more of? Anything this site is missing that you’d like me to include? Thank you so much for your help and feedback and for being here.
