While we may be half a world away, there are a few Australian bloggers who are not unlike the lovely Leigh in her beloved NY. I've been surprised at the community created by blogging, the opportunity to connect and chat. To comfort and encourage.
These Australian writers are on my list of daily visits. Go visit and say hi
Rummey BearsAnna and I first met when she attended one of my birth workshops. She's an absolute delight and the tales of her little family are inspiring. Rosie bear is one of those babies that you just want to squeeze.
PottyMouthMamaLexi is quick witted and laugh-out-loud hilarious. She's good with words too - poetic, even.
Giggles Down Under Kristi moved form Maui to Melbourne. Her photos and observations are beyond beautiful.
EcomilfMeagan is a yogini and muma on a mission to make the world a greener place. Her blog is a complete inspiration and she's always posting great ideas for making your own household cleaners, birthday gifts and yummy vegetarian meals.
P.S. (From Leigh): Jodi lives on the East Coast of Australia with her darling family. Her blog, Ché and Fidel, has a poetic, philosophical bent that always gives me something to think about. She also teaches pre-natal yoga and birth preparation classes, guiding women through blissful pregnancy and preparing them for a conscious birth experience.
I subscribe to about 250 blogs in my reader, and the line-up is constantly in flux. I'm always adding a few, deleting a few, trying to keep things fresh. If I had to pick a favorite one right now, I think it would be this one. It's quiet...yet it says so much. It's to-the-point...and yet the posts keep me coming back to look (and think) again and again. Lately, it has just been so goshdarned good.
Pardon me while I toot my own horn for a moment, but I cannot suppress my excitement at finding out that Marvelous Kiddo has been included as a "Favorite Site" on Martha Stewart Living's new blog, Living in the Family Room. Devoted to celebrating kids and family, Living in the Family Room features smart, entertaining posts with the usual flair that we've all come to expect from a Martha enterprise. I look forward to reading along and finding inspiration galore! Check it out, here.
