Weary Parent’s Best of 2008
As we welcome in the new year, it’s also time to reflect back on the past year. It’s been a year of changes here at Weary Parent headquarters. I started blogging in January. And, sadly, Char left us in September to pursue her other work. She is greatly missed.
But in the span of 12 months we wrote over 300 weary posts. And here is a list of some of the more popular post based on comments, eyeballs, or just my personal favorites.
