Blogger For Hire
Happy Mother’s Day To The Moms Who Blog

Many of you are classic “mommy bloggers,” writing about your daily lives, your kids and the challenges of parenthood. Many others are writing about business, finance, blogging, and countless other topics.

Being the flawed human that I am, there’s a very real possibility I have forgotten to mention several mom bloggers whom I know, like and respect. Please forgive me. This post has been a bigger undertaking than I had imagined.

To all of you, it’s been a pleasure getting to know you. Happy Mother’s Day!

In no particular order:

Happy Mother’s Day to Kim of Anti Social Development, who is a WordPress expert. Her article on How Twitter Can Help You With Your Job Search made me realize Twitter is a lot more than a huge time suck.

Happy Mother’s Day to Barbara who writes a blog about blogging. I really enjoyed her recent post on Smashing The Myths About Blogging.

Happy Mother’s Day to Cath, who gives excellent business tips on her blog. One of her best posts, in my opinion, is Why Your Business Needs More Sauce.

Happy Mother’s Day to Stacey, who writes about the ever-elusive life balance. Her post The Values That Guide Us made me think long and hard about my own values.

Happy Mother’s Day to Kelly of Don Mills Diva, a classic mommy blogger whose writing is honest and powerful. Her post Exposed raised the important question of how far are parents willing to go on the internet.

Happy Mother’s Day to Mia of General Hysteria , who talks about the challenges of raising a special needs child while trying to carve out some precious “me” time. Her post But I Miss Him captured the beauty of her special connection with her husband.

Happy Mother’s Day to Tracy of I Hate My Message Board, who write about “the odd little things I see both off and online.” Her post for World Autism Awareness Day, I’d Like To Introduce You To My Son, really touched me.

Happy Mother’s Day to Paulette, a mom and a grandma, who chronicles her everyday life on her blog, Jagged Edge Of Em’s Anxiety. Her post Me 5.0 was emotional, candid and very touching.

Happy Mother’s Day to Jannie, who writes the decidedly niche-less blog Jannie Funster. Jannie is an award-winning song writer and performer. I loved her Blogging Poems.

Happy Mother’s Day to Lawyer Mom, who is incredibly smart and witty. I love reading her take on the economy and on politics. Of course, her lighter posts, such as this one on aging, are just as powerful and entertaining.

Happy Mother’s Day to fitness expert Carla, whose weekly video posts inspire me to get up and start MOVING. Check out this excellent post on Playground Workout.

Happy Mother’s Day to Patricia, who shares her wisdom and her rich experience with her readers on her blog, Patricia’s Wisdom. Her amazing post on illness and courage, I Do Not Know Anything Different, turned me into a loyal subscriber.

Happy Mother’s Day to RC, a working mom and a mommy blogger, who writes about her family on her blog Rambling Along. Her post Having It All takes a long, hard look at the 80s myth of “having it all.”

Happy Mother’s Day to Kelly, a talented writer and novelist, who writes about life, personal development and relationships in her excellent blog, SHE-POWER. I really enjoyed her recent post, Life Is In The Little Things.

Happy Mother’s Day to Tara, who quit her stressful newsroom job to become a work at home mom. Tara chronicles her life and struggles on her refreshingly honest mom blog, Sticky Fingers. I agreed with every word in her post Motherhood: The Truth.

Happy Mother’s Day to Mary Anne of The Stiletto Mom. We got off to a rough start, but soon discovered that we actually like each other. Her post on Zombie Parents At The Movies made me laugh out loud!

Happy Mother’s Day to Maya, who writes about frameworks for happiness in her blog, Thinkmaya. I love her idea that happiness is a habit.

Happy Mother’s Day to Valerie of Thinking Out Loud, whose funny observations on everyday life always make me smile. She also makes me think when she writes excellent posts on women’s issues such as her recent post Fat And Happy?

Happy Mother’s Day to Suzie of Up The Hill Backwards, who chronicles her daily challenges and triumphs as a mother of two who also works full time as a day care center director. A Very Very Bad Weekend is one of my favorite posts by Suzie.

Happy Mother’s Day to Diane, who’s an expert on market research for technology companies and one of those moms who manage to balance a family with a great career. I help her write her corporate blog. Thanks to her, I know more than I ever thought I would about market research, and I find it very interesting! One of the topics I found especially timely is the post we crafted on Market Research During Recession.

Happy Mother’s Day to TW, who writes a fabulous blog featuring authentic vintage recipes. This Pecan Confections recipe is on my list of recipes to try before I die.

Happy Mother’s Day to Evelyn, who writes about attracting abundance. I very much enjoyed her post on 101 Negative Money Beliefs.

Happy Mother’s Day to Betsy of Passing Thru, a blog which is, as she puts it, “a repository of thoughts, photographs, and observations from wherever we find ourselves.” Her post Getting Inside Our Heads is powerful and thought-provoking.

Happy Mother’s Day to Emily, who writes about simplicity and frugality. Emily is very, very good at being in the moment and enjoying life’s simple pleasures. Posts such as Leaves In My Hair always inspire me to leave this darn computer and spend more time with my kids.

Happy Mother’s Day to Tsh, who provides her readers with great productivity and simplicity tips on her very successful blog, SimpleMom. Her recent post, 20 Tips For Finding Your Routine with Kids is chock full of helpful information and tips.

Happy Mother’s Day to Stephanie, who writes about working from home. Stephanie has built her websites to the point where they earn her up to $5000 per month, while raising three young children. Her post 8 Steps To Take Before Starting A Home Business is a must-read for anyone considering working from home.

Happy Mother’s Day to Miranda, who writes about personal finance on her blog Yielding Wealth. Like Stephanie, Miranda has built a lucrative home business that enables her to be home with her son while making money to support her family. I enjoyed her post Make A Little Extra Money: Sell Your Stuff, because it combined two topics that are of great interest to me: financial planning and simplicity.

Happy Mother’s Day to Noble Savage, who writes about parenthood, culture, world news and feminism in her blog Noble Savage. The Cupcakes Of Death, where she confesses to not living up to the impossible standards of Bree Van de Kamp of Desperate Housewives, was absolutely hilarious.

Happy Mother’s Day to April, who shares her little family with us on her mommy blog April’s Little Family. I’m sure you’ll all agree with her that Cooking Is Overrated, Chinese Takeout Is Underrated.

Happy Mother’s Day to Denise, who blogs about her life and her love of books in Flamingo House Happenings. She lives in a haunted house, by the way.

Happy Mother’s Day to Tess of The Bold Life, who talks about self development in a way that makes me listen. I was thoroughly inspired by her post Bold Changes For Bold People.

Happy Mother’s Day to Tricia, who writes about family, parenting and relationships in her blog, Shout. Her post Helping Children Create A Positive Body Image is a must-read for any parent.

Happy Mother’s Day to Catherine, a well established mommy blogger who writes with exceptional skill at Her Bad Mother. Her post Lost, on searching for her long-lost brother, brought tears to my eyes. But then again, many of her posts do.

Happy Mother’s Day to Tabitha, who blogs about her life over at 123pizza. I loved her post I cooked! I really did! where she declares “I’m not going to pretend to be a food blog. I’m not a foodie and I know it. I’m an eatie. I love to eat. Love it. Love it. Love it.”

Happy Mother’s Day to Kacie, who writes about personal finance and frugality. Her post My Biggest Financial Blunder is a must-read for anyone trying to behave responsibly and avoid unnecessary debt.

Happy Mother’s Day to Lynn from Norway, who writes with refreshing honesty about her daily life with her kids on her blog, Adrenalynn. She also looks like a goddess (Seriously. She’s gorgeous.) She recently gave up and joined the crowds on Twitter. You can follow her here.

Happy Mother’s Day to Melissa, a single mom by choice, whose blog chronicles her journey and day-to-day life. I loved this post, where she encourages us – and herself – to let our light shine.

Happy Mother’s Day to Kerry, aka Crunchy Carpets, who writes with wit and honesty about her family. “I will confess freely to not being the type of mom who plans an activity filled holiday for her kids… I like the couch.” Me too, Kerry. Me too.

Happy Mother’s Day to Amy, who writes about home birth, natural family living, urban homesteading and other “crunchy” things. Her post on the dangerous overuse of antibiotics is an incredibly important read.

Happy Mother’s Day to Rowe, a mother and a blogger who blogs her thoughts at SocieteAmore. Reading her post Smiling and Waving and Looking So Fine, I found myself nodding in agreement more than once.

Happy Mother’s Day to Kristin, a a divorced-Christian-liberal-remarried-Midwestern-mommy-writer who blogs about her life at Halfway to Normal. I really enjoyed reading Facing the messiest room in my home/self.

Happy Mother’s Day to Memarie Lane, who is not blogging anymore, but while she was, used to write interesting, though-provoking posts such as this post on Expectations.

Happy Mother’s Day to Tammy, a mother, a thinker and a photographer, who shares her life and her thoughts at Cricket In A Garden. I loved reading Quiet Messages, about how we often complicate our own lives.

I am closing comments to this post, because I think we should all be spending time with our families today and not in front of our computers.

Happy Mother’s Day!
