Every Tuesday we round up the previous week's top posts based on traffic, engagement, and a hint of editorial curation. The typical week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday, but don't worry, we take into account posts that are published later in the week.
Editorial note: I will be on parental leave starting very soon so I can welcome my first child ❤️ Forem's awesome Content Manager, Gracie Gregory, will be taking over the Top 7 series and our weekly newsletter while I'm gone (starting next week). I hope everyone has a great spring and summer!
