We’d like to call attention to two of our parent bloggers - Gretchen (from Bananas and Toddlers) and WhyMommy (from Toddler Planet).
First, Gretchen had the honor of being selected for a GM New Media panel in Detroit on Thursday, June 21. She spoke on behalf of parenting bloggers on the topic of blogger outreach. We’re certain [...]
It’s fairly easy to provoke an argument among parents, since so many hold such strong views on a variety of parenting choices. “Some topics of discussion can really get parents riled up - cloth vs. disposable diapers, circumcise or not, breast vs. bottle, cry it out vs. co-sleeping, on and on and on. And another [...]
With airline travel at an all time high, one can only imagine the number of germs floating around the friendly skies. And if that’s not enough to make you go “ew,” how about having to be cooped up on a bright summer day because you’re sick? Certainly not my idea of a good time.
So, this week [...]
Modern medicine is undeniably valuable. But with more medications being developed and prescribed each year, and with prescription medications becoming available over the counter, in addition to alternative and complementary therapies, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to make sense of what’s available, what’s likely to help, and what’s likely to harm.

I knew “Garage Sale America” author Bruce Littlefield was enthusiastic about garage saling. What I didn’t know was just how enthusiastic our parent bloggers are too. But after reading the first set of reviews, I have to admit that I might have a new way to keep myself and my kids occupied on Friday mornings.
(Yes, Fridays. Biggest [...]
Carmen, from Mom to the Screaming Masses!
Her post is honest and inspirational. If you don’t know Carmen already, she’s a mother of six (a/k/a “The Screaming Masses”) and her “juggling act” (as she puts it) is phenomenal. Therefore, it’s particularly heartening to read about her own struggles and realize that even she feels as frustrated [...]

More than any other review excerpt thus far, this quote best summarizes what makes Vaccinated such a compelling read:
“Maurice Hilleman may be the most important person you’ve never heard of. World over, millions of lives have been saved by this man, and the living, breathing people he saved, going about business as usual, don’t even [...]
If marriage counseling has ever crossed your mind or been suggested (by either of you or someone else), then we may have found something for you. Certainly there are unavoidable stigmas when it comes to therapy — that there’s a huge problem, that you’re headed for divorce, or that you can’t handle things on your [...]
We’re pleased to announce a fun blast/contest this week with the new social bookmarking site for women (and the men who want to get in their heads) Sk*rt ( www.sk-rt.com). Our own PBN’er Laura from Blog Con Queso is one of the minds behind this site and so we’ve put together a little blog blast/contest to [...]
