Wow, I cannot believe that it’s been 4 years since I started blogging! I honestly don’t think I’ve ever had the same job for 4 years, crazy! This year has been different than any of my other years. I didn’t attend any conferences this year but I did get the privilege of going to Iowa with Better Homes and Gardens, where I got to meet some of my favorite bloggers and tour their amazing campus!
I took lots of other trips this year but that was the only blogging-related trip I took. I’m hoping to get to go to a conference in 2015 because I’m feeling pretty out of the loop these days.
Now, because it’s fun, let’s keep with tradition and look at Ask Anna’s 4rd full year by a breakdown of numbers.
903 – the total of posts published to date on Ask Anna, including this one. Wow, that’s a lot of tips!
2,656 – the number of people that follow me on Instagram and see what I’m up to every day.
2,955 – the number of comments left this year (12,540 total over all the years)
69,488 – total number of Pinterest followers. I’ve got lots of great cleaning, organizing and decorating tips on there!
2,640,025 – the highest number of pageviews for one post! This same post was my highest viewed last year too, but it only had 701,000!!! If you haven’t pinned it yet, you should because it’s a good tip! So which post is it?

8,729,071 – my total number of pageview for the last year! Wow, crazy, that’s 1.35 million more than the year before! I wonder if I can top it in year #5…
4,200 – the number of people that follow me on Google + (that’s up 2,335 from last year!).
175,333 – the highest amount of pageviews Ask Anna received in a day this year (actually ever, but it happened this year)
37,938 – my total number of Facebook followers. I’m so close to 38,000, just a few more to go!
13 – the total number of house projects we took on (see them all HERE). I think my favorite of all of them was our guest bathroom makeover. Here’s one of the after pictures, you won’t believe how ugly it was before!
2,234 – the number of people who are tweeting with me. 🙂
12 – the number of awesome companies I got to work with this year!
1 – my husband’s number because he is my #1 fan, my #1 supporter, my #1 project helper and the #1 person who has helped me accomplish 4 years of blogging, which I never thought I’d do!
Thank you all so much for another amazing year of blogging. I’m looking forward to year number 5 and all the things I’ll learn from my readers, and all the things I’ll hopefully be able to help you with! I feel so blessed to have been blogging for 4 years and I can’t wait to see what this next year has in store!
Thank you for 4 years!!!
