My Name is Melissa and I'm a Blogaholic
New Jersey Moms Blog —
... I started blogging more than four years ago as a way to share pictures and stories with friends and family who lived far away. Soon after I began, I found out I was pregnant again, so the blog evolved into anecdotes about my pregnancy, complete with commentary on the weekly progress updates I received from Babycenter (ie. Congratulations! Your baby's eyelids are no longer fused shut.) I tried to post often, but it became difficult to find time with a newborn and a 20-month-old toddler. Eventually blogging fell to the wayside, replaced by my new favorite ...

Dear daughter, you blow me away
BabyCenter: MOMformation —
... . It only makes sense, I suppose. BabyCenter is a site geared toward moms. No matter how life-fulfilling and gratifying being a mom is–and it is–motherhood is difficult. Easily the hardest thing I’ve ever done. And so I write about my challenges, because no one understands them better than BabyCenter moms, who also offer the best advice and encouragement. But today, on your 4th birthday, I want to extol the Zoe who makes me love being a mama. Zoe’s sweetness: You are a sensitive soul. Kindness and caring come naturally to you. Thinking about how loving you are to other ...

Some of it was helpful, other information made me take pause and wonder if I’d misheard. “Eat oranges to stave off that nausea!” “Use olive oil on your tummy to avoid stretch marks.” “Get the ...

... sorry about that. How about I sit here instead?" I'd ask."No, G is sitting there. You sit here Mommy," she'd instruct, and I'd comply. Sometimes, her imaginary friends seem like normal sized kids, at other times they are tiny enough for her to hold in her hand. She has entire conversations with them and can for an hour. She seems to be the ringleader for them all, giving kind instructions to them every step of the way and making sure they are always doing okay. I'm still getting the Babycenter enewsletter that corresponds with NG's age, and the information always seems 6-8 ...

Mom dies at age 70, leaving behind twin toddlers
BabyCenter: MOMformation —
... into adulthood, although she would die when they were young adults and, let’s be realistic, how good would her last few years be? Perhaps her kids would have had to spend the young, carefree portion of their lives caring for an aging, sick mother; as a mom, I know that I would never want to put that burden on my kids, much less my very-young kids.
In the case I’m referring to, the 67-year-old made it to 70 years old before dying of cancer.

The report, based on a mama survey done by e.p.t /BabyCenter found that 7 out of 10 moms and expectant mothers believe that “Public visibility of large families and multiple births are giving people a glamorized view of raising children.” Women came forward saying that tougher regulations on IVF need to happen AND that some authority such ...

Activity #401: Master your household tasks
Rookie Moms —
... Since I’m not the official queen of anything and I still hate doing dishes, Alec and I used the Nest’s Task master checklist as a means to divide up our regular chores. TheNest.com is a sister site to wedding-planning site,The Knot, and it’s for newlyweds. I only got to use that site for about one month before having to turn my allegiance to BabyCenter and The Bump (the daughter site) but that’s a story for another day.
