Top 10 Most Popular Posts of 2018

January 7, 2019 By MeghanGrant No Comments

Every year, I enjoy reflecting on the most popular blog posts of the year when planning new content.  When I rebranded, I wanted to intentionally focus more on exploring places in North Carolina and providing travel opportunities to places that are perhaps less explored.  I was thrilled to see my passion paying off in my most popular blog posts from 2017 and then this year.

Here are the 10 most popular posts of 2018.

Eastern North Carolina Favorite: The Hen & the Hog

The 10 Most Popular Blog Posts of 2018 - I'm Fixin' To - @mbg0112 | Top 10 most popular posts of 2018 featured by top North Carolina life and style blog, I'm Fixin' To: image of The Hen & The Hog

It is with great pride that my most popular post of 2018 featured a true hidden gem in North Carolina.  It is even more important to me because that hidden gem is in my home county in northeastern North Carolina, in a town that was incredibly formative to my passion in history, but also in education.  The Hen & The Hog showcases local produce with a nod to the history of Halifax and its role in the 13 colonies quest for independence.  I highly recommend a trip for supper, but it’d be even better if you planned a day trip using this guide.  You can even spend the night in Halifax at the adorable Air BnB there.

The Best Places for an Açaí Bowl in Raleigh

I shared my favorite burger places in Raleigh, ranging from upscale versions to Raleigh staples.  I won’t lie, I had a great time researching this article, and not just for the milkshakes to wash down my burgers!

Our Packing List for New York City

Top 10 most popular posts of 2018 featured by top North Carolina life and style blog, I'm Fixin' To: image of a packing list to go to New York City

I booked flights to New York City for David’s anniversary present.  Year 4 gifts are supposed to be fruit, so I booked a trip to the big apple.  I won’t lie, I thought it was pretty clever, especially from someone who isn’t a good gift giver (aka, me).   Check out our packing guide here and what we did here.
