Hehe, great list of some very wacky trends, some of which I have heard of, others that I haven’t got a clue about! Funny how even parenting is prey to the whims of fashion.

Oh my some of these are not me at all but some are eerily familiar! ‘Have a mom blog’ as someone mentioned above is a definite addition to the list!

Cool list! Though I think I must be failing as a mom in 2012 because the only ones that I have are an iPhone (with Angry Birds and Where’s My Water but no learning apps). Nonetheless, great list. Now I have something to strive for

I’m with Sandra on placenta eating hahah!!
Other than that I’ve probably done (or wanted to do) way too many things on this list.

I have seen it written in a number of places but no matter how cool it may be I am always going to put people who eat their placenta down as stupid. Anything that comes out of that end of you is not supposed to be eaten!

Create toddler handprint crafts for every holiday, including (but not limited to) Leap Day, St. Patrick’s Day, IRS Tax Day, and Grandparents Day. Then scan ALL THE CRAFTS to make a photo collage of all the crafts to hang on your child’s gallery wall.
