Best Blog Posts of 2009

Jeff reminded me last night that not only is the year rapidly winding down, but the entire decade is. It seemed like such a big deal in 1989 and 1999, but this year, I nearly overlooked the fact. So strange to think about people reliving the ’10s and the ’20s isn’t it? Crazy, man.

Anyway, as the year wraps up and I begin to painstakingly put another year of blogging into book form, I thought it would be fun to look back at some of my bests posts this year. There have been some duds, but here are my personal favorites, month by month…

January: The Adventures of a Bear (The unbelievable tale of a bear and discount shopping)

February: How to get your child to eat vegetables (Don’t knock it til you try it)

March: Kids as Pets, An experiment in parenting (Another instance where I compare my children to dogs)

April: How to get unfollwed on Twitter (Why I unfollow more people than I follow)

May: Tips for Brand New Moms (What I wish I’d known the early days)

June: Why you should never eat ice cream at my house (Yet another example of my husband driving me crazy)

July: The quest for the perfect photo bit me in the ass (A post that wrote itself. And my all time favorite.)

August: The Gift of Hindsight (And of single children)

September: Rated I for Inappropriate (Because I can’t bear to watch Max & Ruby)

October: Why Mommy Bloggers Shouldn’t go to Hollywood Events (Why I belong on my couch)

November: Girls, Eating Disorders, Body Image & all that crap (The most honest post I’ve ever written)

December: Biggest Parenting Failures of 2009 (Because it’s great to feel better about your own parenting skills)
