"Mothering Out Loud"

When I became a mom I found a voice I didn't know I had as well as a community of women with voices just as loud. It is fascinating the culture that exists in the virtual world (blog in point) of women with something to say, especially mothers. I can't tell you how many hours I've tallied during naptime looking in the online window of other mom's day to day lives and yelling out "it's not just me!" or "I hear ya, sister!" all with an anonymous voice. The blogs, websites, online magazines devoted to moms and mom's issues are in abundance- there is literally something for every mom, every mothering style, every mothering issue. So many times I have read a favorite blog and felt so validated that another perceivably "together" mom could be speaking my language and feeling just as isolated and alone. Yet here we are, together anonymously. Imagine a world where the strength of these online voices could transcend the world wide web.
Moms would really rule the world.

Some of my daily "conversations" include- Superhero Journal, Mojo Mom, Cheerio Road, Giving birth with Confidence, Jumping Monkeys (also a hilarious, smart podcast) and Mother Verse/Mothering Out Loud blog
