We are reaching the end of another year! 2017 is drawing to a close and we’re staring down 2018! It’s been such an amazing year for us here at Farm Fresh Style and Clear Day Farm! Join me as we look back!
Let’s start by looking back at the most popular blog posts of 2017!
6. Less Than, More Than Comparison is a tough thing, and so prominent these days
5. End of an Era When your parents sell your childhood home/farm
4. One Room Challenge – Week 6 I redid the studio over 6 weeks and it turned out pretty fabulous
3. Crazy About Barn Quilts The coolest thing in the country
2. Tears at A&W When you’re crying in a fast food joint over the love of strangers
And the top post of 2017 proves you guys love Sheree Fitch and her wildly wonderful dreams as much as I do!
1. Mabel Murple’s Book Shoppe & Dreamery A tour of the best tourist location on the East Coast
The other big thing that I’ve been doing more of is working with brands on the blog. It’s been fun to reach out to companies and brands that are a good fit for Farm Fresh. I would never have been brave enough to do any of that without the support of the ECM Media crew. They have been encouraging and supportive and I can’t even believe the positivity of all the members. I’ve had the pleasure of working with brands like Canadian Tire and their Premier Paint line {which you can read about HERE }, Kings Landing in New Brunswick { you can read those HERE and HERE } and my new partnership with Phillips & Chestnut, which I’m really excited about! { Those posts are HERE and HERE } I have some fun things happening in 2018 in the partnership department, too, which you’ll have to be a little patient for!
I love the community over on Instagram and my following there has slowly been growing. I enjoy the interaction that happens there and the awesome people that you end up connecting with. I’ve been very fortunate to have a met some of these Instagram friends in real life and they are just as wonderful in real life. Here’s a look at my Best Nine posts on Instagram:
I love how it pretty much sums up what our country life looks like. We live in a stunning part of Canada and I love showing it off to my Ins{ta-friends! {You can follow me on Instagram HERE }
Life here at our farm involved getting a pony { which you can read about HERE } and a new cat over the course of 2017. They are both great additions to life here and we’re super thankful for Casey K because shortly after we got her, we ended up having to put sweet Cuddles down. Our little crazy cat lady was pretty upset. He may have only sort of been our cat but we sure loved him. { You can read what I mean HERE }
We also had the outside of the house painted! I was so excited to finally have that job done!! We had a great crew do the repairs and the painting, I’m so happy with their workmanship! It has certainly freshened up the place!! You can read about that transformation HERE – pretty great, eh?
I look forward to continuing to share our country life here with all of you throughout 2018! I love hearing from you, whether it’s through comments on Facebook, comments on the blog or over on Instagram, so please drop me a line – it means so much!
Here’s to a great 2017 and an even better 2018!
To be continued,
Lori
