*…Actually, I don’t really think I can count today (or technically yesterday) as the official blog-i-versary of the digital version of Momover.  After all, it launched on the Cookie website back in the covered-wagon days. But this incarnation is a year old, and so is the book. And since I’m always looking for an excuse to crack open a bottle of Champs…

So, because we Scorpio mamas are big on reflection and re-invention, I’m taking five minutes off from my Saturday morning dust bunny-slaying routine to ponder what the past 365 days have meant to little ol’ moi.

Frankly, it’s been a hard year. There was drama and sadness on the day-job front, schlepping the Wee Lass to school everyday via stroller along the Hudson River during one of the worst winters on record has been an indescribable pain in the ass, and I’ve worked harder and had more mommy-guilt and not-sparkling-clean-house-guilt than is healthy for one mama-person to bear.

Still, ramping up on my blogging has been a major blast. And I’m as happy as a clam to report that my Momoverette fan base is definitely building. But you guys are soooo shy; I’ve had way more “I love your book” and “I love your blog” personal emails sent my way than comments on the individual posts.

Whatevs. It’s not as if the total superficiality I tend to traffic in is especially comment-worthy. What are ya gonna do? Chime in and tell the world that you, too, consider Pajama Jeans a signifier of the decline of western civilization?

For fun, and as a treat for any brandy new Momoverettes who might be visiting for the first time, I’ve pulled together a list of the five most-loved blog posts of the past year. (FYI, it doesn’t include the très popular Mama Gurus section, which I intend to beef-up, big-time, in the coming months.)

Et voila, as the French say:

1. I spy…Julianne Moore in really cute clogs

2. Chew on this: juice-cleansing ain’t the only way to detox

3. Wanted: legs like hot mama Steffi Graff’s

4. Feng shui attack: my walk-in closet

5. Miracle cure for those pesky back-of-arm bumps

So what does this list tell me? That you all are just as appearance- and cute-person obsessed as I am. Oh, and you’re totes into wardrobe organization, which ties right back into the appearance obsession.

I dare say, great mama minds think alike.
