For reasons known only to Jesus and Charles Darwin the increasingly erratic mother allowed her young son to pick up a street chicken and flop it about.

CecilyK, like so many mommy bloggers, has a column over at Babble.com. And like most bloggers she posts teasers and a link to her columns whenever they are posted. Apparently some of her readers are getting tired of her "bait and switch game", and decided to say so: "Cecily, I really enjoy your writing and your point of view, but I seriously hate being forced to click over to another website. If I wanted to go to that website, I would just go there...this is a game that I don’t want to play..." "so, first I have to click over...

If you're one of the hundreds of 12 year olds with a tumblr and an inexplicable crush on its mophaired founder, you'll be amused to know the above picture is from David Karp's tumblr. Now we can all be 12 years old without a tumblr, and just yell HAHA DAVID KARP'S GF HAS CRABS!

Natalie Lovin, of 'Hey Natalie Jean' former fame, has posted some proof of life.

And how has this beacon of class and sophistication decided to decorate? In the most blatantly tacky way possible, of course. (more…)

Jordan Reid Berkow, founder of shillschacklesham, has successfully fixed her busted ass floors thanks to yet another shill: Pictured above: why I was sorta MIA yesterday. We shot two Better segments in my apartment: one on staining furniture, and the other on hardwood floor revitalization (both using Minwax products).

Messica, FMLA slacktivist and donut connoisseur, has apparently begun her 'maternity leave' from her blog. The overworked blogtrepreneurial mom-to-be has spent the last few weeks trying to make her leave about all the mothers in America. I think it's really unfair to say that because I create my own schedule, it's any less challenging or "easy" than someone who works an office job. I'm sure other people who work from home would agree that there's some misunderstandings about work/life balance. Further, while blogging (or working from home) may be more flexible, the bigger issue for me is that women in America...

VegCharlotte, apparently a blog for vegans in Charlotte, posted Thursday about a vegan blogger who alleges she was "a victim of racism and bigotry" at Dandelion Market, the venue of some holiday party she was attending. The blogger's story is full of breathless confusion, and essentially makes it sound as if she and her fiance were simply quietly nibbling pita chips before some Dandelion goons forced them out the door. She then claims she was body slammed and dragged out when she attempted to re-enter, and told they were removed “because people were complaining about the Muslim guy being there.”...
