What’s on my reader this morning?

by

I may make this a regular feature here on Parenting Sites 411. What I will be doing today is showing you what sites and posts are showing up on my Google Reader this morning. Maybe you’ll see a site on there you haven’t seen before or maybe you’ll find an update from an old favorite.

  • MissZoot posted a guilty admission about tossing garbage in someone elses’s dumpster. That criminal! ;) She also posted about the NY Times posting a review of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” that included spoilers. For the outraged Harry Potter fans out there (like me), she has a letter you can send on to the editors to let them know this is NOT OKAY.
  • Kate at sweet| salty posted a followup to the “childless people are pussies” posts she wrote earlier in the week, by answering the age-old question of “WHY do people have kids anyhow??”. It is an amazingly touching answer and I think hits the nail on the head quite nicely.
  • Karla at Untangling Knots posted about some challenges she’s had in her breastfeeding relationship with baby Nate. It was very brave of her to post that and I think I know a little of what she’s feeling right now about it all.
  • Frema (also from What Are You Lookin’ At) Parental Discretion Advised posted about getting into the uncomfortable stage of pregnancy. I really enjoy reading a “first-timer’s”perspective on the joys (and agonies) of pregnancy and Frema never disappoints me with her witty writing.
  • Plain Jane Mom has put out yet another fabulous edition of “Go Read It Today!” and I will heartily second her recommendation as she has highlighted some great posts and news.
  • My good friend Brit over at Running Stitch has posted about missing her “me time” to go running in the morning (but how she wouldn’t trade it for the world either).
  • There’s also a slew of new stories over at Parent Dish, including an interview with Jaime Pressley, a loveletter to the family dog, the joys (and agonies) of choosing a day care, a gossip tidbit about Bridget Moynahan giving birth on Gisele’s birthday (read for why this is juicy), Harry Potter stamps in Britain, and a boy who got $88,000 from eBay. That’s a lot of news for a Thursday morning!

That’s all for now! Thanks for staying with me while I caught up on my blogroll.

About Parenting Sites 411

Parenting is hard enough, isn't it? It's a wonderful thing when you can get online and find where another parent has gone through exactly what you're going through and you can see that they made it through to the other side. Here at Parenting Sites 411, I hope to connect you to the websites and blogs out there that show this journey through parenthood and the lessons that we can all learn together. We don't have to be alone, even though sometimes it sure feels that way!

  • So, I really hate to complain but candy? Really?
    Here’s the deal.  You all know that my son is a talker and that thus far his teacher has been more than a little bit receptive to the fact that he NEVER.SHUTS.UP.  She seems to be [...]

    Mama always said that she was a 'baby that had a baby' when she got pregnant with me a mere WEEK after her wedding to Papa. She and I still look like sisters (I'm the YOUNGER one, dammit!), and we [...]
