October's Roundup

I publish some of this in my sidebar, but for those of you read in a reader (like me), I thought I'd share in a post.

Here's what has stuck with me...

from Misplaced Mama
This is a post about turning a painful encounter into an opportunity to understand, and care, for another. Read about this wonderful mama and her three wonderful kids and how they pass the rose.

from Carrie Logic
A new-to-me blog by a local mama of two boys under five. She wrote a post asking why she just can't seem to get it together, "Is it me? Is it the kids? Is it society?" Um, all three.

from Chronic Mamas
About beautifully written essay by a mother living with Type I diabetes.

from Wild Parenting
Feeling isolated? Me, too.

Last year, I was introducing my idea of Mad Mama Moments. You know, like the more honest version of Hallmark.

  4. Was it through your links that I found the story of how one Mom handled a tantrum in the store with the little girl?

    I've started doing that now and it works!

    And Emily, yes that was here! It was a story from the Attachment Parenting website – I’m so glad it’s helped you and your daughter.
