I just had asparagus and thought about the time we discussed "asparagus pee" and I learned that it was genetic and not all people have stinky asparagus pee. Man, this place is making us smart. What have you learned on tb?

    Honestly, I have learned SOOOO much from here.  Isn't that kinda the point?  Mostly, I have learned that all kids grow, learn, develope at their own levels and to NOT compare.  It use to drive me crazy.  I learned a lot from newborn stage to preschool.  There are always tons of great ideas/blogs/recipes floating around here.

    Annnd I, too, learned that internet friends are sometimes better than "real" friends. : )

    The bump introduced me to PW and etsy, taught me the importance of extended rear facing, and i have learned that whatever parenting challenge you are going through, someone else-somewhere-is going through it too.

    I remember the asparagus pee discussion, as well!

    And PW. And lots of etiquette things. And to ease up on myself a bit. And friendship. :)

    Dude, where do I even begin? What have I learned... like EVERYTHING. My kids probably wouldn't have survived had I not had my bump addiction;) Really though, I can't list it all. You guys are a wealth of knowledge to me!

    Produts: 

    -Sophie the Giraffe

    -Homedics Soundspa (baby crack machine)

    -Etsy

    -babysteals.com

    -babylegs

    -nursery wall decals

    -picky sticky month stickers for onesies

    agree there is so much!  Extended rear facing car seats is a biggie.  I like being able to see different perspectives on issues, but also go to my niche groups for philosophies that might not be the norm (AP, Natural Birth, EFF). 

    I restored a dresser from seeing it done on the D&R board
    I use a bucket in my shower to catch the water because of the Green Living board (and a lot of other info)

    I bought the baby crack machine, and I use it - didn't work for DD
    I bought Sophie for DD2 Embarrassed

    I've met a lot of sweet ladies and love seeing everyone's "babies" growing up!
