Karrie deservedly rips Zipcar a new one. Hilarious to see them encouraging her to "try car-free"!! Dorks.

OMGWTFBBQ. I am so glad this had a happy ending.
Good lord, you people are BRILLIANT! Now that's the way to be BPA-free and economical. Wow! (Combine this perfect baby hack with my mother-in-law's Cream Cheese Coffeecake recipe and you'll be all set :)
Hey, does anyone know how Twitter is going to make any money? I love using it, but I'm concerned that they'll fade away because as far as I can tell, they don't have income other than VCs. How does that work? I wish they'd come out with a Pro version that has lots of cool features. I'd pay for it just in the hope that it would help them stay afloat!
Interesting story on Momlogic. They sound like real asshats. [Update: Why do I keep linking to posts which subsequently get taken down? It's a talent. In any case, it looks like a Cease and Desist letter is the reason the post was removed. Interestinger.]
And really, it's a sickness how much I love i can has cheez burger. Those damned cats make me laugh EVERY DAY. They win my vote for Best Thing of All Things on the Internet. Srsly.

What happened to the Crazy Hip Blog Mamas? Why did they pack up their web site and go home? (Thanks Mel for the heads-up.) Any of you who were showing their BizRate/Shopzilla ad please note that it ended at the end of March '08 and you can take it down now.
Amen, 'boundaries' is precisely right. I'll go out on a limb here and say that breastfeeding an 8 year old is just plain wrong. Yes, I am judging people who do it. I have opinions. The end.
Why Dooce is still one of my favorite bloggers. Thank you, finally someone weighs in on the stupid gas tax holiday and actually makes sense. Whoa, this husband is living on the edge.
OMG, this is SO much worse than a bad haircut. Gross! Totally not wrong. Recently I was quoted in the New Jersey Star Ledger and on MSNBC. My kind of news. Jill Asher rocks her TV interview.
I'm really not looking forward to this in my future. Introducing a sweet baby boy who I hope is not too fussy for his mama.

Think good thoughts today for Kristina who is off to have her baby! Go check out the new AllMediocre — you crack me up ;) I posted an oldie but a goodie over at Mommybloggers. How do you manage your kids in a restaurant? Some good information on teen prescription drug abuse.
Really? "Non-Mom"? That's the move you want to make? So let's see… we adopted one kid and had the other two via donor sperm. What kind of mom am I? What kind of dad is Craig? Get a fucking clue, Teleflora and NBC.
Cripes, what a horrible Mother's Day. Please keep us updated. Good God, no pressure or anything.

What a beautiful letter. You're right WTM, this does make me feel better. "(By the way–Sony? You make a mean butthole camera monitor. Apparently my colon was viewed in high-def.)" I can't stop laughing. Frakking toddlers. (Wait, at what age do they stop being toddlers?) Sigh, I love brothers.
HBM still hasn't had her baby yet, but even during weeks of crappy pre-labor she can write a great post about her online circle of friends. BlogHer is going into the pay per post business?? I don't get it. [UPDATE: No, I don't know why this post has been taken down, I only have guesses. You can all stop asking me now :) UPDATE TWO: Suebob answers in the comments below. ]
You're not invisible. I see you.

"We are an army of educated mothers who have finally stood up and said pay attention, this is important work, this is hard, frustrating work and we're not going to sit around on our hands waiting for permission to do so. We have declared that our voices matter." Fuck yes. If you are any kind of mom who blogs, just go read this today. And as an aside, I am about one minute away from starting to post pictures of my kids on this site. Heather's exhilarating post is really helping me with my decision.
"Every time I get together with other bloggers I tell myself, THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!and thank my stars that I happened into this weird and all-consuming hobby that just happens to hook me up with really incredible women who strangely enough are a lot like me." I couldn't have said it better myself.
This mama loves this amazing adoption story. This is part 3 — are you keeping up? It is so very worth it.
I'm all for karma, but report him. That's an awful story.

Aw shucks, thanks!
Yay — new book on the way :)
Um, so don't cross her.
Finally some good news!
Wow, yes Erin, you are a troublemaker, but this reaction is ludicrous.
Watch out for this amazing, strong, resilient mom. I heart her.
And I reviewed a cute book for moms on my review site.

Wendy of 'eMomsAtHome' has rebranded her site as Sparkplugging. Stop by, kick the tires, and let her know how great it looks :)
Sage but startling advice.
Yay, baby's first bath never looked sweeter!
Great post on Camp Babygate. (Never apologize for a long post, Susan!)
The BlogHer '08 newbie mixer has been announced.
Son of Bossy Kicks Ass! (And a rare sighting of Mr. Bossy. I think he needs to get that blurriness checked out. It could be something serious.)
I hate hate hate hate potty training, and I'm not even the one who has to wear a pullup.
Way to monetize that blog, baby!
Yes, and I love it when they give you 400 ketchup packs too.
Now that's my kind of birth story.

I weep for the future of our children.
Possibly the best movie pitch EVER!
I faxed her some pregnancy-safe crack, whatchoo got?
I love Five Star Friday!
I have a sneaking suspicion that Bossy will be the subject of an important Facebook meeting come Monday.
Susan needs suggestions on how to bathe a child with a broken arm.
(Just about to post this and it occurs to me that while I try to highlight lesser-know bloggers in GRIT, this has somehow turned into the rockstars of blogging edition. Sorry, I'll do better next time :)

Lisa at Clusterfook is living in the present — are you?
For sure, women need something for themselves.
The last line made me snort coffee out my nose!
Good gravy, is it just me, or is this dress really beautiful?
Yes, balance is good, but it's important for women to get a seat at the table. I need my own June Cleaver!









Have something to add?
