  2. Congratulations on being named one of Parenting Magazine’s Top Ten (most addictive) Mommy Bloggers. Woot!

    This is a great collection of your best posts. I think of it like tasting a sample of ice cream before ordering a cone.

    Now…I’m gonna grab a cup of coffee (or a bowl of ice cream)…and begin to “digest” your “digest.”
