The most visited posts on the site from November 12, 2014, through today are as follows:

1. How to throw a “Star Wars” birthday party and turn a bunch of kids into Jedi knights. This is also the top Butterscotch Sundae post of all time. Clearly I need to write more “Star Wars” crafting posts.

2. The complete, mostly unadulterated story of my troubles with the Mirena IUD. This one is also from 2012. Every now and then someone emails me to say “me too.” So while I wouldn’t want to experience it again, I’m glad I wrote about it.

3. The fulfillment of a dream I didn’t even know I had. Oh, you know, just that time in April when I shook hands with the President of the United States.

4. Tactile tactics and other activities for the reluctant speller. We’re still using a number of these spelling activities, and I’m still adding to the list whenever I see a promising technique.

5. What second grade and fifth grade look like at our house. This was my homeschool curriculum post for this year. It’s always interesting to go back to those and see what we ended up dropping. This time, we ended up dropping the outsourced science and art classes, but everything else has stuck.

6. From here to there, from there to here. Rockford’s job takes him to exotic locales every now and then. On this particular trip, we did a photo project to compare our days.

7. Here, there and everywhere, a continuation of the previous post.

8. How far will $64 go at Harris Teeter?, in which I spent $64 for a week’s worth of groceries.

9. Four fun places in Atlanta to visit with your kids. That was a great trip. I’d love to visit the Georgia Aquarium again one day.

10. Maybe FDR was right about that unreasoning, unjustified terror. I’m still wary of sinkholes, but the airplane fear has abated a little.

Not surprisingly, the top search queries since last November are mostly about stormtrooper balloons and “Star Wars” birthday parties. Other inquiries of note include “broccoli vs. ice cream sundae,” “how much does p90x cost?” and “fabulous dinosaur.” I’m not sure what this means, other than that I do not have a clearly defined niche. But I think we already knew that.
