I stepped up my blogging game in 2012, posting consistently 3 to 5 times a week. Even though I’ve been blogging since 2009, I feel like this was the year I really found my voice. I’m not solely a health and fitness blogger anymore, and I like that. This blog served as a constant through all the change. A support system. A friend network. A photo dump. I’m really not sure where I’d be today without this blog. So without further ado, a little 2012 post round-up.
My favorite post: Twenty-Four Lessons
The most popular post: One Giant Step
The most controversial post: Overexercising, Where is the Line?
The most helpful post: How to Fold Your Yoga Mat
A post whose success surprised me: Things I’m Loving Right Now (and still loving)
A post I feel didn’t get the attention it deserved: Me Versus Myself
The most beautiful post: Courtney and Alex‘s Portraits
The post that I’m most proud of: Make A Mistake
So what to expect from Sweet Caroline blog in 2013? More yoga. More life changes. More workout tips. More product reviews. More photos. More business start-up adventures. More me!
What was one lesson you learned from blogging this year?

I love your blog and all your tips and posts and I can’t wait to see where you take this little space next year!
I think the biggest lesson I learned is how much I enjoy writing and my blog. When I took a month-long break, I missed it so much and my blog just makes me so happy that not having that space (though I needed the time away) bummed me out. And to just write for me, about me, and stop fretting over stats and numbers and readers.
Great idea for a yearly round-up. I may have to do the same thing for Nutrition Nut
I finally got back into blogging this year. I feel like I’ve really hit a groove. It’s back to being fun and not feeling like a job!
This really had been a big, growing year for you! You have really done so much and worked towards creating a life that will make you happy, so you should be very proud of that!
I think the one thing I learned about blogging this year is that I have to accept that sometimes it will fall to the back burner or I will struggle to come up with quality posts, but I just have to keep plugging along.
