I want to write this post every year, but the end of the year and the beginning of the new one always comes and goes so fast that I never get around to putting it together. And even though I’m running a little late (would have loved to have actually posted this in 2015 ????), it’s going up anyway!
Never mind that it’s only taken me 5+ years of blogging to finally do a “best of” post. Woot woot!
2015 was really a fun year for the blog. I did a lot of experimenting with the camera and food styling, tried out a few new lenses, and worked really hard on improving the quality of the content on Something Swanky from recipes to writing to photography. I had opportunities to develop recipes with some of my favorite brands yet (I’m looking at you M&Ms!) and learned even more about the business side of blogging than I ever have before.
Even better than all that stuff, this year I accomplished BALANCE between my blog life and the rest of my life. I handed off more responsibilities to my social media manager and spent more time focusing on me, my family, and our newest little addition. I spent almost two entire months entirely devoted to me, the baby, and being present at home while barely cracking the laptop open at all. It was so needed this year and has brought me such peace.
But before we jump into 2016, let’s take one more stroll down memory lane. Here are YOUR favorite recipes from Something Swanky in 2015:
