It's nearing the end of 2020 (hooray!), and today I'm sharing the most popular blog posts of the year here on The DIY Mommy along with your favourite DIY videos on The DIY Mommy YouTube channel!
This year was an interesting year for everyone, to say the least. Despite the weirdness of this year, my blog and YouTube channel have been more visited than ever. 2020 was the year that we wanted more ideas to make our homes feel like a cozy, welcoming haven and I was happy to help you do that. I'm thankful for YOU, my readers and friends - without YOU, I would not be encouraged to create, photograph and write as much as I do. I really, truly appreciate you.
Sharing their best blog posts of 2020 with me today are some of my favourite blogging friends. Make sure to visit their posts linked at the bottom of this blog!
From the 10th most visited to the first, here were your top 10 favourite blog posts from The DIY Mommy in 2020:

Small Pantry Organization Ideas
Here's another organization post that you loved! This one was fun and challenging because while my IKEA kitchen pantry has lovely pull-outs, it's still quite small. Using inexpensive storage bins, DIY labels and upcycled containers I was able to organize this small pantry on a budget.

This comprehensive Cricut blog post was your #1 favourite blog post this year, and I was so surprised! You loved that I answered so many questions you have about the Cricut machine.
