Top 20 Stories That Got Moms Talking in 2009
The biggie holidays are nearly over, which means it's "countdown time." Counting down to the New Year, counting down the most popular news events ...
Being a mom, when I hear "countdown" I immediately think I'm giving my kids another time-out. "If you don't get over here by the time I count to five, so help me I'll ..." and "Those toys better be picked up by the time I count to 10 or ..."
One of my New Year's resolutions is to have far less of those types of countdowns in 2010, if I can get my little ones on board with that.
Meantime, I thought it would be fun to do a "Mom Related" countdown. I jumped into the CafeMom Daily Buzz Blogs to see what was top of your minds this past year.
