2011 Wrap-Up

Where I do my work.
Some of my bloggy peers are posting their favorite, or most-commented, or most-viewed posts of the year.  I am enjoying going back and re-reading many of these- some of these people challenge me, encourage me, entertain me, or just make me feel like one of their coffee buddies complete with warm fuzzies.

Not that I think I can compete with those bloggers, here is a compilation of my top-read posts of each month: 





January Seven Kids and Sex   Be sure to check my comment for a bit of a postscript

February Bedtime Works for Me  Oh, that was nearly a year ago and I'm happy to say my girls still want carried to bed and tucked in.

March  Seven Kids Mornings In this day of reality TV, apparently posts that detail how you spend each moment are still popular.

April  Grocery Budgeting the food co-op thing never did work out like I had hoped...

May  Let's Talk Teens, Sex, and the Gospel I promised to revisit the popular post of January- and this post was read even more. Just behind it, not quite tied but with more feedback, was Modesty, My Opinion

June Top 7 Listening Devices While you make your New Years' Resolutions, consider things in your life that keep you from really listening to your kids.

July  I must have been feeling the hot August topics early- my two highest-viewed had nearly no comments. So why read and not comment?  Afraid? Was I too outspoken?  Those posts were Religious Inspired Modesty  and  Spank or Spank Not, But Don't use Euphemisms.

August started hot right off, the first post got over 100 hits: How do you Keep from Going Crazy?  But then I saw later on, over 150 hits for Keep the House Visitor Ready in 15 minutes a Day!  Apparently I never answered the questions about what steam cleaner I use- I haven't been able to find the model still available on the internet... but if I had to replace it, I'd get this one Wagner 915 1,500-Watt On-Demand Power Steamer and Cleaner

September   I'm always curious when a post gets twice as many hits as the others, but no one has commented.... Tantrums in the 3 Year Old. Sometimes I get the feeling from young moms that I don't have any clue what I'm talking about-  even though my college major was Human Development and Family Studies, I nannied and taught in daycares and churches for hundreds of kids over ten years before doing all that while concurrently raising seven of my own.  But young moms just sort of stare through me because I don't parrot what they read in the books they have?  Note: I read those books too, and threw them out. 

October   My idea to post our personal college visit reviews must have been good. I asked others to send in their reviews of their college visits so I could post more--  but no one has.  Please?  I can't visit all the colleges.  The most viewed post this month was William Jewell College, Liberty, MO.

November  Seven Beauty Basics I Pass to My Daughters .  By the way, I introduced my oldest daughter to Noxema because my grandmother used it and I used it as a teen.  She loves it and has the same bright complexion I had as a teen. My grandmother had the softest, smoothest face.  And the scent just makes me feel the comfort of being with grandmother. 

December  Pizzas are Veggies
