Often when I ask my kids why they put a certain thing on their Christmas wish list they wouldn’t really know why they wanted it, other than it was what everybody wants. If that many cool kids want the same thing, it has to be good!

This has been an exciting year for us here at MFP. Testing and trying out pins from Pinterest has been an adventure for us three sisters. When we began this blog just over a year ago, we worried that we would be drawn to the same projects and we would have problems with duplication. But you will see from our top ten, that the things that struck our fancy have been an eclectic collection of household tips and  and kitchen hints.

But today is about new beginnings. So in celebration of the New Year, we are sharing with you the best of the best, the creme de la creme of all the things we have tried. These are this year’s most popular posts. It is what all the cool grownups on the internet are looking at! You don’t want to miss this great collection of our Top 10 of 2013.

Mold is gross! But…our number 10 most popular post this year is Easy Shower Mold Solution.
