TOP TEN MOST READ POSTS IN 2020
We are finally out of 2-020 (can we get a yee-haw!) and I thought it might be interesting to share some of the most pupilar posts on The Spoonie Mummy this past year.
My blog has had over 50,000 visits in 2020, which is just amazing and has almost doubled on last year’s total. To know people are reading what I write and finding these posts helpful and interesting means so much to me. Some of these posts were written quite a while ago, but I feel the content in them is pretty evergreen and useful still today. I hope that you enjoy a read of these and I would love to know if you have a favourite – share it in the comments below!
