Hi, guys!
We’re approaching Carrots ‘N’ Cake’s 10th birthday, so I wanted to take a little trip down memory lane and share some of the most visited blog posts (according to Google Analytics). Some of them are somewhat expected, but some of them are total surprises. It’s funny what the Internet likes (and doesn’t like)! đ With that, here are the top 10 most viewed CNC posts to date!
10. How 3 Months of CrossFit Changed My Body – People love a good transformation story and this post was published during the height of CrossFit.
9. Paleo Pumpkin Walnut Muffins – I mean, who doesn’t love a “healthy” muffin recipe, am I right? This recipe hit the internet when Paleo was super popular.
8. 45-Minute Treadmill Workout – I can’t believe this post made the top 10, but it IS a really great treadmill workout!
7. 10 Tips for Balancing Exercise with a New Baby – Getting back to your fitness routine is definitely a struggle after having a baby. I like to think this post has helped a lot of new moms!
6. Low-Calorie Cocktails You Need to Try – This is an awesome round-up of tasty, but low-calorie cocktails. I love that it’s still a hit on the Internet!
5. No More Excuses: Motivational Quote to Get Your Butt in Gear – Thanks to the powers of Pinterest, this blog post exploded!
4. Sweet Potato Pizza Crust – I think I was one of the first bloggers to share a recipe for sweet potato pizza crust, so this post has done well over the years.
3. How I Beat My Sugar Addiction – Sugar was such a struggle for me, and I was really honest about my experience. I hope the tips have helped people!
2. Paleo Morning Glory Muffins – These muffins are damn delicious. And, once again, they’re healthy and Paleo!
1. Life Advice from Murphy – This post ended up on StumbleUpon and skyrocketed my traffic. In one month, CNC had nearly 1.3 million views! Who can resist a cute pug?
Question of the Day
What has been your favorite CNC blog post?Â
the 45-minute treadmill workout link seems broken?
Hmmm… maybe try again? It worked for me.
@Tina: I can access the blog post that reference the tread workout but the actual link to the 45-min tread workout is not found….
The workout is in the blog post. đ
@Tina: True! I can print the picture you posted of the workout – I was just hoping to get a nice print out like you had made đ No Worries!
Life Advice from Murphy always makes me smile whenever it’s resurfaced on CNC – such a great post! No wonder it’s the top performer! Congrats on 10 years, Tina!
Oh wow I’ve never used stumbleupon–is it like buzzfeed?
Happy 10th anniversary! Do a giveaway or something! đ
Ah! The treadmill post! Reminds me of the “old” CNC days! Love this blog đ You are so loved!
Life Advice from Murphy! I forgot how much I loved that post! Congratulations on your ten year anniversary!
Congrats and happy birthday CNC! I love your morning glory muffins and anything pug!
Congrats! I may have to try that morning glory recipe. I have to say my favorite posts have been all of your travel adventures, in fact I took a trip to Ireland and based a lot of what we did on your recommendations. I also loved all of the pregnancy posts and definitely referenced them during my pregnancy. Mostly, I just love that you are so balanced and honest and can enjoy a piece of cake every so often. Cheers!
Wow it’s been 10 years?! Happy Birthday CNC!
The life advice from Murphy is one if my favorites! It’s so true and reminds me of a lot of the old Murphy stuff.
And those skinny pina coladas are definite favorites, especially now that we live in FL.
OMG! Love, love, love the Life Advice from Murphy….so cute and so true!
My favorite posts are the ones that are about everyday life. I like travel posts too.
Just signed up for Stitch Fix!! My favorite posts were about sugar addiction. Also, anything with the pug is always a win đ Thanks for the giveaway!
