My Favorite Funny Mom Blogs

I have finally gotten around to adding some links to my new blogroll. (Down there, on the right.) Go for a laugh and let them know you found them here on After The Bubbly!

Crazy Texas Mommy manages to mock the Stepford moms and the tatted granola parents at her kids meet the teacher nights. Sure, but did she piss off the office staff too? She still has a little to learn from this PTA mom.

Wendi Aarons makes me laugh out loud every time, but especially with this ode to back tats. And reminds me why I have no ink.

Jessica Bern is trying to survive single motherhood, her family of origin, and dating the under-employed. Now if only she could find her keys.

Okay – I promise to add more soon. These are my favorites.

Amusing Blogs From Me to You

I’ve been spending some time today finding better blogs than mine for you to read. Apparently I’m very choosy. You’re welcome! But I did find one gem in the bunch:

Suburban Turmoil – If I’d have been brave enough to write the early years, this is what I like to think I’d have written.

And don’t forget Wendi Aarons and BernThis.

Enjoy!

Parenting Blogs That Tell the Truth

I know you visit some blogs with that long list of their favorite blogs on the sidebar. You won’t find that here. For one, a lot of those bloggers are just plain lying. They don’t really like all those blogs. Because really, how could they? As a blogger AND parent (hence the parenting blog) I can attest to the fact that you can’t be halfway decent at either one if you’re taking the time to keep up with 100 or so blogs. I don’t have the time to be amused by others and produce such brilliant work here, all the while raising the two most awesomest people on the planet. Seriously, I’m only one woman.

Still, I want to introduce you to some [other] great blogs. I’m going the selective route. Here are the first three:

Dooce – Heather Armstrong is a force. Is it ironic that me, a fellow blogger has only started to read the most famous [un] Mommy Blog in existence after seeing Armstrong on the Today Show? Maybe. You’re probably all way ahead of me. Go pat yourself on the back.

Ashley’s Closet – Sassy to the edge and super smart. Please don’t like her better than me.

Wendi Aarons – Her tag line, they’re not all gems, is a lie. She is the funny that I am in my own imagination, before it comes out in words that are not quite as clever as I had thought they might be.

Go, now, read! And feel free to bookmark this page so you can come back here over, and over, and over to click these links!
