Today’s post is our end of the year recap – we’re sharing our most popular posts of 2025, along with the best sellers of the year, most clicked links, your favorite homes, recipes and more – as voted by you!

This is one of my favorite posts of the year to write! I love to take stock of the year – both professionally and personally. It’s always fun to see what worked (and what didn’t). Most of all, I want to know what you loved! That way, I can continue to produce content that you want to read!

So today we’re taking stock here at MdC! We’re sharing our top 10 posts of the year, as well as the best sellers of the year, your favorite home tours, your favorite recipes, as well as the most clicked on links of the year. In other words – everything you loved! 

If you’re a regular subscriber, you might have your own favorites. Or you may think you’ve seen everything I published this year and be surprised by what lands in the top spots – I know I frequently am! And if you are new here or a recent subscriber, this is a great chance for you to see some of the posts you might have missed.
