Top 11 Posts of 2011
Welcome to a new year! I thought I would take a moment to look back at 2011 and share some of the most popular posts here on Laurel of Leaves. It was a record year for me in the life of my blog. When we first embarked to the other side of the world to travel in New Zealand, I thought for sure the blog would suffer. And I had come to terms with that. But the exact opposite happened! More people started reading and I was inspired to continue documenting and sharing my journey in true health and natural living no matter where I am or what I’m doing.
