Running a Household Celebrates Second Anniversary

Did you know that February 22nd marked the two-year anniversary of Running A Household?   Whether you joined our e-mail subscription list, follow us on Pinterest, or just stop in from time to time to read our articles, we are so happy to have you visit. 🙂

A Year In Review – Reader’s Picks

Running a Household began by offering articles in three main areas: Maintenance, Meals and Money.  From there, we added sections for Organization, Small Spaces, Time Management and What’s Blooming – a monthly calendar to show you what’s growing each month.

During our second year, we added Health and Wedding categories.  We also joined Twitter, Instagram, Google + and Pinterest, so be sure to follow us.

Special thanks to our readers for sharing articles, liking them on Facebook, or pinning them on Pinterest.  Here are our top three articles that were shared on social media:
