best of 2011 - well....MY best anyway

Everyone in blogland seems to do a "Best of 2011" post right about now. I've thought about it, really. I've given the idea some serious thought and wondered about it. There are some merits to the idea. It would give new readers a quick look-see at what was clicked upon most here at the Moo Homestead. But I'm getting some really unusual traffic lately.

For instance, Google.de and Google.at (Germany and Austria) have picked up some pictures of me with my Baby Girl after her homebirth and have them in google images. That's bringing a whole lotta direct traffic to her birth story post. I'm hopeful that it's mothers interested in unassisted homebirth, but the reality is it's probably bringing in some other sort of traffic. So you see, stuff like that really skews the data.

So instead I'm picking my top posts of 2011. These are the posts I think are most relevant to my readership or are posts that I think most accurately represents us.

About Me

My Photo
A 40 something mama meandering through life with an eclectic 20 year old boy-man (the boy), a 7 year old girl (big girl) who is a ball of lightening, and a 3 year old girl (baby girl) who brightens our lives with her smiles. I'm grounded by my 40 something husband and partner (the hubster) whose quirky mannerisms brighten my days.

I've been a single mama, married mama, divorced mama, career mama, SAHM, and WAHM. There was a short time of my life when I wasn't a mama, but that was a LONG time ago!

I hold an AA, BS, and MA and most say I'm wasting them by devoting my intellectual capabilities and energy in the nurture of the wee ones that I've been entrusted to raise, but there is nothing else I'd rather be doing these days. :)

I love hearing from readers, so please share your thoughts and leave comments, too!
