As 2011 winds down and Lunch It Punch It closes out its first year, I thought I would share the top five posts of this year. It should come as no surprise that the posts that were featured on LifeHacker were among the top. Or that LifeHacker was #1 traffic source for this site for the days around the time they featured this site.

Counting down…

5. Mason Jar Meals
4. How To: Aussie Apple
3. Article: 22 Healthy Lunch Ideas
2. FM’s Great Lunch Box Search
1. Make It: Milk Jug Lunch Box

Please visit the featured page to see all the sites that wrote about how awesome it is to have a site dedicated to lunch packing (or something like that). It is neat to experience being a new blog and gaining traffic through no real effort of promotion, fans of this site put it where it is today – thank you!

This blog started the year with three writers (FM, Lin and myself) and in June FM and Lin left to pursue other endeavors. Although writing two blogs* in addition to working full-time has proved to be challenging, I have renewed the hosting and domain for this site and will back for another year of sharing lunch packing ideas and encouraging others to join in the quest to pack a lunch to punch a goal!

Remember, if you comment on any post, you will be eligible for my random giveaway. I have already mailed out two lunch bags to two participants as thanks for supporting this community. If commenting on the blog is not your style, please join me on Twitter (@LunchItPunchIt) and let me know what you have packed for lunch or join in the conversation on Facebook. If you are already a follower or fan, why not tell a friend or give her a card?!

Wishing you a wonderful new 2012 full of delicious packed lunches! Andi
