Hee hee, I'll take credit for the shower scrubber... I saw it on a Pinterest post quite a while ago, and have tossed it out whenever anyone here asks for cleaning tips. ;) it's nice to know other people get use from it.
THe biggest thing I have learned is to be more confident in my parenting decisions. Before I had my dd, the only parenting style I knew was more of an authoritarian style... Child does what parent says, or gets punished. Mamapedia exposed me to different ideas, and allowed me to reevaluate what I thought I knew... And I am now more of a "gentle parenting" type. (My daughter still has consequences, but I take more time to understand her behavior and make the consequences a natural result of the behavior vs. a blanket punishment if spanking/time out.)
it also helped me out quite a bit when I was nursing her, as I have never known anyone who breastfed before. I never even considered nursing, and just planned on formula-feeding my child. While pregnant, I stumbled across this site. I saw posts about breastfeeding, which prompted me to look into it, and from there decided to give it a go. I learned a lot, and was able to make it to 16 months, in addition to exposing many of my family members/ friends to the idea. (Since then, 3 of my cousins have nursed babies, and about 6 friends, all who originally planned to use formula straight away.)
So pretty much, I have learned confidence in parenting. :)
