Last Year in Review

The tradition has fallen! My last blog post in 2006 was a year in review through the lens of Formula Fed and Flexible Parenting. I then did the same thing to end 2007. For those of you who anxiously counted down all 2008, even over that extra day for Leap Year, I must apologize for having failed you. 2008 ended without a year in review post.

Does that mean doom to the tradition? Nope. Instead my first post of 2009 will be a review of 2008. I am repeating my first lesson learned from each month in 2008. May it bring wisdom, insight, or entertainment to all who muddle through it.

First Lesson Learned of Each Month in 2008




  • January: Ending one year with pre-existing friends and starting another with new friends makes for an enjoyable and memorable transition.
  • February: Bringing food to a funeral home can be one way to help a family that has just undergone a tragedy.
  • March: You can figure out where in life someone is by their dream snow pants.
  • April: Parenting can age you.
  • May: Keep your newborn on your older child's schedule, but make sure that older child does not have any Sharpies.
  • June: There are strange people everywhere, including your own driveway.
  • July: Children act like children.
  • August: Birthday politics are challenging.
  • September: If your creep alert goes on, it's a good idea to turn around and go back the direction you just came from.
  • October: Just because some members of your family take certain religious holidays off does not mean that schools will close for other members of your family.
  • November: Eat a few pieces of Halloween candy that you really like on Halloween or you may eat many pieces of Halloween candy you don't like.
  • December: Parenting includes some crappy experiences and memories that just can't be flushed away.


    • I wish each and every one of you a wonderful new year.

    For those of us who didn't get an instruction manual with our babies and for whom parenting hasn't always gone as planned. On a more serious note this blog is about supporting a woman's ability to make her own choices about parenting including the choice, for whatever reason, to bottle feed her babies formula.
