As we say goodbye to 2012, I've been looking back at the year's most popular blog posts, chosen by an admittedly unscientific method. (I looked for ones that got a lot of comments, eliminated my "Grand Photo of the Week" posts and eliminated ones that were seasonal or dated.) If you missed one or more of these, take a look, and be sure to scroll down to read the comments:
- Celebrate Becoming a Grandmother with a Grandma Shower
- Some Must Choose Between Job and Grandparenting
- Grandmother's Behavior Troubles Mother-to-Be
- Grandmother's Actions Lead to Rockergate
- The Satisfaction Checklist
- The Grandparenting Spectrum
- Is Grandparenting a Second Chance?
- Grandmother Faced With Heartbreaking Choice
- Do the Generations Disagree About Safety?
- Grandparents Should Continue the Tradition of Storytelling
- Supreme Court Disappoints Grandparents
- Pregnancy Then and Now

Thank for all you do, Susan, to keep us grandparents on the right track. Speaking for myself, I take all the positive feedback I can get.
Susan, I join Judy in thanking you for presenting so many poignant articles and diverse opinions on this blog. The opportunity to comment on them and read what others have said has always made me feel a real part of the grandparenting experience! I have learned so much from you, too. Mainly, to keep “constructive criticism” to myself! This is a major part of the reason our family is thriving. If I really do need to vent, I can come here – either you or one of your readers will take my side and make me feel better!
Looking forward to another wonderful year with you!
Thank you so much, Judy and Joyce. I love my faithful readers, who give me both support and lots of ideas. I hope you both have a fabulous new year!
