I love postsecret.blogspot.com - which is updated weekly
and dearabby.com -which isn't a blog, but it's timeless and practical
and my blog is carmelncal.livejournal.com
i focus mostly on my own musings, books, social issues, coffee, San Francisco and women's issues, but I would really like to broaden my topics of discussion. Thanks for sharing!

I'm a new Mom trying to juggle working at home and having a young baby. In the past year and a half I have gotten married, graduated college, and had a baby. I am trying to build up a business as a spanish/english translator. My husband is a teacher...so we get by, but we could always use more money. I also want to continue to keep my skills sharp, because I know I'm not going to want to stay home forever. I'm interested in making friends and networking with other inspired mamas!

I'm the author of House of Thieves and The Descendants. I am working on a book about parents in San Francisco called How to Party with an Infant. It's funny, judgemental and mean at times, sort of like myself.

I am a Canadian expat living in Guatemala. I am a work at home mom with two kids under two and a freelance writer.
It is not easy, but my husband was recently able to quit his teaching job to stay home and watch the boys while I work and focus on his night career as a musician, his true calling! I call that success. :D

I lead a busy, fun life. I'm concerned about the environment and education but try to see the beauty and wonder in the ordinary.

I'm very new to the blogging world, so I haven't developed a daily list, but I have been reading the blogs on this site.
I really like dooce.com also. She's very funny.
For articles, blogs and political news, http://www.realclearpolitics.com is a great site.
My own blog is fairly new, about three months old, so if anyone would like to give me any feedback, that would be great  Its http://www.storyrhyme.com/jcsblog/
I'm going to check out your blogs, ladies!

I've got a ton of blogs that I read, but some of my favorites...
Itty Biz (Naomi Dunford is a great marketer - I've hired her several times already, and I can't say enough how motivational our consultations have been! She blogs on Home Business, Self Promotion, Marketing, SEO, etc.) - http://www.ittybiz.com
Sparkplugging (Wendy Piersal's blogging network of several blogs on Small Business / Entrepreneurs / Freelancing / WAHM's / etc.) - http://www.sparkplugging.com
ProBlogger (Blogging Tips from the "PRO" blogger - Darren Rowse makes 6 figures a year on blogging alone!) - http://www.problogger.com
And to plug my own blog, LOL - I write on web design, small business, marketing, and most recently on taking the freelance plunge! - http://www.idesignstudios.com/blog/

I'm a working mom of three who enjoys a multi-faceted career that includes owning a HR consulting company (because it's what I know), teaching college classes part-time (because I love to share what I know) and operating an Arbonne business (because it's just plain fun to be girly and make money at it).

"I believe we write our own stories. And each time we think we know the end - we don't. Perhaps luck exists somewhere between the world of planning, the world of chance, and in peace that comes from knowing that you just can't know it all. You know, life's funny that way. Once you let go of the wheel, you might end up right where you belong." Quoted from Stacy in the Movie Little Black Book.
Making people feel encouraged and good about themselves is a highlight to me. There is enough bad stuff going on in this world - people should lean more toward making others feel good about themselves when around you rather than being negative. So spread a little cheer.
