"Thank you to every member of the DOC for supporting my book... I know that there are far more then just the names you see here. #HeartWarming
Life Is Short, Laundry Is Eternal arrives in stores today."
The tweet that you retweeted the most was something that started out as a way to amuse myself but a lot of you got behind it - which I really love and appreciate!
C’mon @Oprah just look… You’ll love it. Can I get some RTs from readers! http://t.co/QE9CCZKoOB

I've only been doing these end of month favorite post for three months, however...
Arden's Day has experienced growth in both page clicks and unique users every month for the last eight consecutive months! I'm touched, humbled, and happy that you are enjoying the site.
I've said this before but it bears repeating, thank you for the incredible support that you have shown both by reading my blog and buying my book. I genuinely don't know how to properly say thank you...
On to May!

I'm posting the March 'Your Favorites' just a bit before the end of the month because next week is going to be overrun with book talk and I don't want this post to get lost in the confusion.
My first book, 'Life Is Short, Laundry Is Eternal: Confessions of the Stay-At-Home Dad' will be officially released next week on April 2nd. You can get it on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kindle and NOOK today, but iBooks and in-store purchases won't go live until this Tuesday (April 2nd).
I hope you understand that my level of excitement about the release will likely border on childishly high. I promise that excitement will only overtake Arden's Day next week. Then it's back to it.
After the smoke clears... I'm working up the nerve to write in detail about Arden's first seizure, we'll be talking about the new OmniPod and much more. Until then, I hope you can give me a pass - because I am going to be out of my mind excited next week... I'll be posting reviews, links, reader pictures, personal thoughts on seeing my first book published and lots of other book centric blogs. I hope that you enjoy the ride because without you... I'm not taking it.
My heartfelt best,
Scott

Meanwhile over on FaceBook. These two posts were seen by more eyes then all the rest:
Yes or No: Do you get your children a flu shot? Why, Why not?
and
Me: Why are your clean clothes on the floor?
Arden: I had a sensitive moment. When you have diabetes sometimes your blood sugar gets low and you have sensitive moments.
Me: I see
Arden: I had one on Saturday and it made me pissy.
Me: {silence}

Thank you for making February 2013 the most popular in the history of Arden's Day. This blog will be celebrating it's six year anniversary this summer and the number of people that read Arden's story in February is greater then the number of people that read Arden's Day, in it's entirety, over the first three months that it was online. I can't believe how much Arden's Day has grown, and it's all because of you.
Last night my new book was number one on the Amazon Hot New Releases list in the Fatherhood category (U.S.) for over six hours and number three on the same list in the UK. I was so proud (I called my mom) and simultaneously so incredibly overwhelmed by the support that our community gives to one another. It is staggering and a testament to why the DOC is so strong and helpful to the people that are a part of it. I'm proud to be a member of this group and genuinly touched by the love that it has shown me, my family, the book and this blog that I adore.
Best,
Scott
