For parents who want to worry less and play more!

Some Mighty Fine Reading

There are so many great blogs out there - literally millions of them. I hesitate to mention any, lest I leave out some stellar reading, but here is a selection of parenting blogs I enjoy:

Offpsrung calls itself “an entirely craft-free online parenting magazine community for the modern age,” but I like their tagline better: Your life didn’t end when you became a parent.

Too many choices? Check out, within Offsprung, Hausfrau. Written by Angela Pandolfo Roy, a “cranky, liberal, self-employed, Italian-American, Episcopalian, Bronx-born, Jersey-bred” mom of two young sons.

Have a fabulous twosome? BeTwinned is “The One-Stop Internet Spot for Parents of Twins and Multiples. BeTwinned is an online-only magazine for parents of twins and multiples. Join us for a whole new world of news, information, reviews and a chance to interact with the larger community of parents of twins and multiples around the world — that is, of course, after the kids have finally gone off to bed.”

Melissa says, “I love my kids. I just don’t love the actual work of raising them. Oh and the amount of talking it requires. And the public humiliation. Also, the guilt of doing this job. But otherwise I love it all.” Check her out at Suburban Bliss.

Tertia at So Close lives in South Africa, where she works, raises her two children (twins) and discusses just about everything you can think of (depression, infertility, martial strife, working, breast augmentation and cultural differences) with wit and irreverence.  

Larger Families is for “anyone who’s got more than the ‘average’ number of kids, or who’s curious about what it’s like to have a larger family in today’s smaller-family-centered society can benefit from the advice and experiences we have to share.”  

As of this writing, Julia at Here Be Hippogriffs is the mother to one son and is on bed rest while in her third trimester with twins after a number of losses. She also blogs for Redbook at The Mother Moment.

Dawn Friedman’s ability to write about mothering, writing and open adoption with honesty and humor has made This Woman’s Work a major stop on the internet.

Hey, I know that this is just the tip of the virtual blog iceberg! What (who) do you like to read?
