You Need To Read - August 24
And once again, here are my weekly collection of parenting blog posts that I think were special, funny or otherwise worthy of attention. Do me a favor, visit the blog and tell me if you don’t completely agree.
- “The post I’ve wanted to write forever, but I felt like I might be judged too harshly” by hola, isabel. This post was at the same time funny, honest and insightful. And seriously made me wonder if I shouldn’t start keeping rabbits.
- “What the J? - Circle of Life” by Hollow Squirrel. She’s had some rough times lately which is why it’s SO FREAKING COOL to see her have some great news in her life.
- “the things we don’t speak about” by house of h. This post was about a little bit of everything and I found myself totally identifying with just about everything. Amen, sister.
- “Consignment” by sweet | salty. Another beautifully bittersweet post from Kate. I identify so strongly with each of her posts and she was a beautiful way of looking back and moving forward at the same time.
- “Defining ‘Green’ in the Zoot household” by misszoot. Zoot talks about the little ways her family is trying to make less of an impact on the environment and makes some really good points about the “politics” of it all.
- “You love me” by Running Stitch. Brit talks about whether or not her toddler says he loves her and realizes that hearing that isn’t as important as feeling it.
- “You Try To Tell Yourself The Things You Try To Tell Yourself To Make Yourself Forget” by Dad Gone Mad. I think he captures perfectly just how it feels to have the rug of safety yanked out from underneath you.
- “Potty Talk” from Purple is a Fruit. A pretty funny post talking about bodily functions during labor and asking how to begin potty training a toddler.
Enjoy these posts, I know I did.
