The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 9,200 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

My goal for 2012 is to post something of value for parents and children every day…a quote that inspires, a tip that might help make the day go more smoothly, an activity to be enjoyed by the whole family or a picture book review that will encourage parents to read with their children on a daily basis. 

I’m also going to be working on two writing projects.  The second book in the Positive Parental Participation series will be Show Me How! Celebrating the Holidays Through Reading, Crafting and Cooking.  I’ll also be involved in creating an interactive board book series that helps toddlers learn their colors, numbers and ABC’s, The Balloon Man.

Now I have a big favor to ask.  If you have a super cool holiday craft project that is quick and easy OR a child-friendly healthy simple holiday cooking activity, please visit my book website: www.positiveparentalparticipation.com and fill out the contact form.  You can win a copy of the new book if your craft project or cooking activity is chosen to appear in the book!

I’m grateful for everyone who visited Positive Parental Participation in 2011…thanks also to all who left comments and kind words.

May 2012 be filled with joy, good health and love for all of you!
