Today I’m sharing links to the Top 10 Flanders Family Posts<\/a> of 2021. As has become my habit, I always like to look back in January at the most popular posts of the preceding year. Since my goal in writing this blog is to serve my subscribers, it’s instructive to see which posts readers find most helpful.<\/p>\n

Of the posts I penned in 2021, the following generated the most traffic. Look at them again with me and see if you can spot some trends:<\/p>\n

The Top 10 Flanders Family Posts of 2021<\/h2>\n

And the number one post of the year was the one where readers who love to plan ahead could download any of my free printable calendars for 2022. There are four different styles to choose from.<\/p>\n

\"Free<\/a><\/p>\n

And that does it for another year. You\u2019ll notice that of the top 10 Flanders Family posts of 2021,<\/p>\n

90% included a free printable of some sort
\n40% were designed to facilitate communication
\n30% were created in response to reader requests
\n30% were interactive games
\n20% were for record keeping and
\n10% were recipes<\/p>\n

If I look at my most popular posts overall, I see a similar trend:<\/p>\n

Top 10 Flanders Family Posts of All Time:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Age-Appropriate Chore Chart<\/a> – This pretty printable chart breaks down chores by the age at which most children would be able to accomplish them<\/li>\n
  2. Christmas Word Scramble<\/a> – The very first Christmas game I ever posted, and it\u2019s still my most popular.<\/li>\n

  5. Make Every Month More Memorable<\/a> – A treasure trove of ideas for making special memories with your kids all year long.<\/li>\n
  6. How Well Do You Know Your Christmas Carols?<\/a> – This game was inspired by a similar game my children\u2019s piano teacher used to quiz her student moms at an annual cookie exchange.<\/li>\n
  7. Who Gets What? Christmas Matching Game <\/a>– Can you match up these famous characters with the Christmas “gifts” each wished for and\/or received?<\/li>\n
  8. 12 Days of Christmas Party Games<\/a> – This is where it all started\u2026 my very first public offering of Christmas party games, drawn from years\u2019 worth of original games I designed to play at private Christmas parties my husband and I had been hosting since we first got married.<\/li>\n
  9. Homeschool Report Cards<\/a> – A free printable template you can use for keeping track of your homeschool student\u2019s grades, plus links to lots of different businesses that reward kids for making high marks in their classes.<\/li>\n

    Why Does It Matter?<\/h2>\n

    Again, can you see the similarities? More family games, record-keeping charts, a few reader requests, and lots and lots of free printables. So those are the things I will continue to focus on in 2022. I intend to provide\u2026<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Beautiful printables to make your life easier<\/li>\n
    • Ideas and resources to make fun memories with your family and friends<\/li>\n
    • Updated calendars for the coming year(s)<\/li>\n
    • Plus as many special requests as I have time to fill<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      And now, I\u2019m ready to plunge ahead into the coming year. Aren\u2019t you?<\/p>\n

      Let\u2019s do as Paul did: \u201cForgetting what is behind\u2026\u201d [and who isn\u2019t ready to put 2020 behind them?] \u201c\u2026 and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God\u2019s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus.\u201d (Philippians 3:13-14)<\/p>\n
