Benefits of Blogging (by Elizabeth)
I love my Blogging job. Not only do I have the privilege to spend hours researching and writing on a topic that effects millions of mothers, I also enjoy the opportunity to meet other moms and share their thoughts and stories. Sometimes I meet these moms in person (like Jen Zug at The Pile I'm Standing In). Sometimes through the Blogosphere.
Today one of our readers posted this comment in response to Jen’s essay Teachable Moments:
“What a great story, Jen. Thanks for sharing it and reminding us to stay in the moment.”
I noticed that the comment came from Kirsten at Mommy Needs a Cocktail ‘Cause Sometimes the Brownies Just Won’t Do the Trick.
To me, sarcasm is a beautiful thing and often helps me get through the day. Immediately drawn to Kirsten's site by the title alone, I read her latest entries and laughed out loud. (Laughter = Therapy)
So, if you haven’t discovered Mommy Needs a Cocktail yet, check it out. Here’s the beginning of a piece many-a-mom can appreciate. The title: blame it all on the father found in half-assed parenting (I love it!).
We had a little incident while on vacation. Other than the usual great aunt making outrageous comments, to include “I want to take a picture of your children when they AREN’T crying. Is there any way you can guarantee that?” Clearly my children are very perceptive when it comes to people. Believe you me. I would have been crying if it hadn’t been socially taboo to do so.
