Parents write

Sometimes it turns out that people who have kids are also articulate and funny writers and bloggers. That might not seem remarkable but from what I know about parenting, demonstrating intellect WHILE caring for tiny people that stagger about and are super super cute is truly admirable. Way to go. These are some sites I've found or that have been recommended:

www.iwasareallygoodmom.com This is really just a promo site for the book I Was a Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids. But I think it sounds good. I heard the authors of this book interviewed on Manic Mommies (great podcast!).

www.amalah.com Love this. Her chronicle of tribulations with her son's Thomas the Tank Engine track is just twisted (and hilarious).

Purple is a fruit Just found it but looks like it will be closing up at the beginning of 08. So hurry and read now!

Baby Daddy Steve Almond makes me laugh. Good thing.

Pam Dolan on parenting Blogger for a CT paper/site. Recommended!
