What a wild and wonderful time 2014 has been. Since I’m tracking my year-end stats today, I thought it would be fun to highlight the most popular posts, with a sampling from different categories.

Top post of 2014:  Huge list of birthday freebies

No other post I’ve written has even come close to the popularity of the ultimate birthday freebie list! Since everyone has a birthday and most everyone likes free stuff, I can see why it’s been so popular.

Top Jewish recipe post:  Matzo Toppings, 45 Options

Who ever would’ve thought a Passover recipe would be so popular? Certainly not me! Anyone who wants to try something new and fresh will like these options for matzo.

Top secular recipe post: No-Bake Peanut Butter Caramel Cheesecake

It seems I have a lot of readers with sweet teeth! This recipe is very in-demand at my house, since my guy is the world’s biggest peanut butter lover. We enjoy it so much, it even went on our Thanksgiving menu. Not only does it taste incredible, no cooking is required.

Style and Beauty posts are some of my all-time favorites. Because I love these areas so much personally, it’s always a joy to discuss it with others.  Hopefully, you can pick up a few good tips, too.

Top Book post:  How to Run a Traditional Jewish Household

In all honesty, book reviews are not the biggest draw for my blog; however, I love to read and share important books that have influenced my life and mind. I’ll continue to share the best of the best, like this amazing guide written by the lovely Blu Greenberg. (FYI: Even the non-religious will benefit from a read-thru!)

Top Giveaway:  $30.00 Target Gift Card

Giveaways are always met with rave reviews! I love to offer great goodies and you guys sure love to enter. Rest assured, giveaways will always be a prominent feature at The Jewish Lady. (Many are planned for 2015, so stay tuned.) Since the Target giveaway had over 5,000 entries, I plan to repeat it!

Top pet post:  How to Create a Free Cat Condo

The credit belongs to my sister, who is a master crafter! She constantly inspires me with all her creations, especially this tutorial on how to make a cat condo for FREE! Both her cat and mine loved these.
