“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves”
Philippians 2:3
When we started blogging almost 18 months ago, we had no idea what we were getting into. All I knew was that we wanted to share our everyday living with you through the things we love! I knew that probably meant tablescapes, the occasional travel post, and maybe a music post here and there. The next thing I knew, I was blogging four times a week, meeting new blogging friends, and I had found a creative outlet that would become both my new favorite hobby and a journal of sorts for me and my family!
Last week, I shared the Top 5 Tablescapes of 2015 and The Top Ten Posts of 2015, and there is no doubt that my love for creating warm and inviting spaces in our home is one of the main themes here at Everyday Living. But, my favorites are those that might not receive the most views or comments…they are the stories and pictures that are dearest to my heart! They are the ones that are linked to the sweetest memories, the story of how the post evolved, and the ones that remind me of the goodness of God in our everyday living.
Come along with me while I reminisce on the year in blogging as I share my favorite 7 posts of 2015! Click on the picture to go to the original post.
7. Simple + Southern Sunday No. 54
The Sunday post is usually our week in photos. However, this particular one was a day in photos…how I requested to spend my birthday!
6. The Perfect Blend
An afternoon of conversation, lattes, and sweet nibbles provided “the perfect blend”!
5. That Time I Was A Professor
What an amazing afternoon spent teaching the art of tablescaping to 37 ladies at the University of Alabama, Gadsden Center!
4. A Mid-Summer’s Evening
Butch bought this fun, pagoda-style umbrella, so it demanded, of course, another alfresco dinner in the garden …while enjoying the beauty of God’s creation and the blessings He has provided! A perfect evening!
3. Zoom In!
We love to travel and we “zoomed in” on some of our favorite places around the globe!
2. Sentimental Journey
Sharing my journey of music that has spanned three generations was a joy!
1. Just Like Mama Made
A precious childhood memory of a sweet and salty snack that I still enjoy!
As you can see, 2015 was a fun year in blogging for me! I cant wait to see what 2016 holds! Thank you, our faithful readers!

What a lovely stroll back through 2015. That’ another good thing about social media. I always planned to write in my journal each year, but never stuck with it. Blogging and IG provide us with evidence of what we have done.
Thanks for the review of your favorites. My favorite was the time you were a tablescape prof. Go, girl!
That was a lot of fun, Kim!
Isn’t it fun to look back at our blogs to see what went on. I would not remember half of what I did without the blog to remind me.
It looks like you had a great year and I hope 2016 will be as active.
Thanks for joining in at Share Your Cup.
