  • Strollerderby Playdate: Mamas Doin' For Themselves

    In blogging circles (and these are extremely influential, exclusive circles, mind you...seriously! OK, not seriously), we hear the term "mommy blogger" nearly as much as people wonder aloud what Perez Hilton's newest nickname for Britney is or if Dooce will ever email them back. The reality is that the term, as much as I embrace it myself, in no way speaks to the diversity of mommy or blogger experiences. That's why I love highlighting the people who we don't peek into read enough -- the two-mom families, the mothers in treatment for cancer while raising kids and working and yes, even the moms who have a little thing for shiny shoes for each new season. Today, we're talking single moms. Here are just a few of those mamas who are blogging about raising kids alone, with separated partners, with families and friends, in many rich, rewarding, exhausting, not-so-easy ways:

  • Strollerderby Playdate: Nostalgia, Baby

    I'm back home from four long and lit-up (mostly from casino lights, I swear) days in Las Vegas. It was my first time there and not at all what I expected. It was all expensive waffle-house food and bad cocktail uniforms. And what did I expect? Expensive waffle-house food and bad cocktail uniforms with more feathers and Dean Martin playing in the background. Delusional but true. Apparently, I am not alone in my yearnings for times of yore, my friends. Here are a few bits of nostalgia that may just have you hunting for your sparkle suit and Vegas ashtray, too:

  • Strollerderby Playdate: Outside the Office

    Just in case you're not sick of us yet, I thought it might be fun to peek in and see what the Strollerderby folks are analyzing, investigating and yammering on about when they're not talking your ear off  here (or is it an eye off, considering you're reading it? perhaps ear off does apply when the voice is conversational? anyway...). Consider it one part blatant self-promotion, one part sitting at the theatre geek cool kids' table, one part shout-out to the people you think, breathe and live parenting news commentary (and honestly, some of us do).

    Here are a few of the things SDers are posting about outside the cubicle:

    Karen is talking about Truth and Beauty and putting me to complete shame for continuing to blog incessantly about puke and poop.

    Sarah's making her body business yours.

    In other body news, Melissa's all fired up over scabs, toenail removal and suntans. If that doesn't peak your interest, you have something seriously wrong with you.

    Kelly's also talking effed-up toes. And sleeping with Gabrielle Reece. Nothing about scabs, though (oh well).

    MetroDad's OK. No really, he's fine. Stop fretting. Send scotch and flowers, but stop fretting.

    Mike's done shedding tears for Lorelai and Rory and has moved on to wax poetic over the Princess Bride. The man loves him some modern day fairy tellin'.

    CrankMama's 'fessing up in a veritable NaughtyMommyPodcastyPallooza.

    And since all that blog-hopping probably worked up your appetite real good, make a last stop to see Stefania, who is whipping up tropical smoothies, kid-prep friendly cupcakes and Korean BBQ beef ribs. Mmmm....ribs. 

    Did I miss anyone? I hope not. Because that would be totally awkward on cigarette breaks. Joking. We only stop working to drink and bet on reality TV shows around here.
