Blog Reader Appreciation Day

Robin Reagler of The Other Mother is hosting her annual Blog Reader Appreciation Day today, which seems like a wonderful idea and a great reason to offer my appreciation to you, dear readers. If a blog falls in a forest, and no one is there, it doesn’t make a sound. (Trees are still open for […]

Happy Holidays

We’re having a bit of a family emergency here right now, hence the lack of vlog yesterday. I’m also going to skip the Weekly Political Update today; I’m assuming that this week of all weeks you’ve been keeping up with the political news, and that many of you have left for the long weekend already

We’ve Got the Beat: Mombian Cited as Cool Beatblog

Mombian was cited today as a “really cool beatblog” by Beatblogging.org, in an article that looks at how “instead of just writing about the joys and trials of motherhood,” mommy bloggers are “branching out into other areas.” “What’s a beatblog?” you ask. Here’s Beatblogging.org’s definition: A beat blog in the expansive sense is any blog

Join the Blogswarm: The Only Agenda Is Love

It’s another blogswarm! This Monday, February 9, bloggers in the LGBT community and our allies will be participating in “The Only Agenda Is Love,” a blogswarm in support of Freedom to Marry Week. By being a part of this effort, you will help contribute to a blogsphere-wide education campaign about ways your readers can help

I’m a Lezzy

. . . or at least I’ve been nominated for one. The Lesbian Lifestyle blog is hosting its annual lesbian blog awards, The Lezzys, all this month, and one (or more) of you kind readers has thrown Mombian’s virtual hat into the ring. That means I need more nominations to make it into the final

Thanks for Your Votes!

Many thanks to all who took the time to vote for Mombian as Best Large Blog in the 2008 Weblog Awards. I didn’t win (the honor went to Jammie Wearing Fool), but I wasn’t last, so I’m happy. All in good fun, and I got to peruse a bunch of new blogs. Congratulations also to

Final Reminder: Please Vote for Mombian in Weblog Awards

A final (thank heavens!) reminder to vote for Mombian as Best Large Blog in the 2008 Weblog Awards. I know I won’t win at this point, but I’d love to go out with a big rally. Voting ends at 5:00 p.m. EST today. I know the Weblog Awards site has been slow to unavailable at

Weekend Voting Reminder

A friendly weekend reminder to keep voting for Mombian as Best Large Blog in the 2008 Weblog Awards. You can (and should!) vote once every 24 hours through January 13, since results are cumulative. (That means in two more days I’ll stop posting these annoying reminders.) Right now, I’m far from first—but I’m not last,

Working Mother L-Moms Breakfast in New York

I’ve been graciously invited by Working Mother magazine to give the keynote speech at their first-ever L-Moms & Allies Breakfast on January 21 in New York City. If you live in the greater New York City area, you are more than welcome to attend. I’d love to meet you there. The only catch is that

Time to Vote Again!

Just a gentle reminder that 24 hours have elapsed since voting began in the 2008 Weblog Awards, and that Mombian is in the running for Best Large Blog. You can (and should!) vote once every 24 hours through January 13, since results are cumulative. Right now, I’m far from first—but I’m not last, either, and
