Vodkamom is a teacher, a writer and a mother to three children. The first post of hers I read made me howl. I don’t have teenagers but I have a tween-age sister who would DIE if you took away her ipod. As a parent in this techno-gadget world, you clearly have to think creatively when it comes to discipline! Over and over again, this woman made me laugh. She pokes fun at her own goofs, reminisces over family memories, relives parent/child battles, and offers insights into her world as a teacher. Lighthearted and funny, Vodkamom is worth a visit.

You know that feeling when you’re in the middle of reading a great book, the one you’ll tell everyone about and you’ll give as a gift for years? A book you hope will never end…that’s how I feel about Her Bad Mother.
Catherine is a mother of two young children, based in Toronto and one very busy, busy lady. She’s got lots of great stuff going on. A background in the academics and a career as a writer, her posts range from the inner turmoils of motherhood to great sociological debates. I found Catherine’s writing refreshing and if you really want to get a sense of what her blog is all about, begin by reading The Bad Mother Manifesto. Thank you Catherine. It’s such a relief to read words that not only support motherhood but also remind us that there is no such thing as perfect and as mothers we create unity by withholding judgement and by practicing respect and acceptance of all types of mothering. In Catherine’s words: “the only persons who can measure our mother-worthiness are our children, and even they are unreliable”.
A list of her most Popular Posts are found on the left hand column. While the content of the Popular Posts are personal and heartfelt, there are a few that pose very interesting debates, debates you’ve surely had amongst your friends and fellow moms. As I was reading, I found myself wondering “what would I do in this situation” or “how do I feel about this”, which I think is a sign of well written blog post. As a blogger, you want to engage your readers and the best method of measuring this is by the quantity and quality of comments. You will notice that all of the Popular Posts have a very high number of comments.

The concept of What do we do all day? is pretty straightforward. Mom lives in Brooklyn, NY with her husband and two young boys. Her posts are tricks and tips to get through the days with a busy 4 year old, which in her words “do not involve complicated craft projects or expensive electronic toys”.
What do we do all day? site appealed to me because like Mom, I live in a small walk-up apartment with no outdoor space, a busy young boy, and I too will soon enough be toting around the infant sibling in an baby carrier. While it is “easy” to flick on the television for a few moments of peace, who always wants easy. I want my son to remember the time we spent together exploring our world. But my tricks get old and boring, so I’m always looking for new activities to try out, preferably ones that are creative, simple, and economical.
There are some fantastic ideas on this site. I particularly liked the Catapult Action and Unplugged Projects, especially the one about rocks. To have fun with a kid, you have to think like a kid. For my toddler, a bowl of rocks is likely to be the best 20 minutes of the day. I found myself thinking “ohh, I have something like that or I could use this instead…” Must go, there is fun to be had.
