My 2nd featured blog is from the lovely Kelcey Kintner of The Mama Bird Diaries.
There are so many things I enjoy about reading Kelcey’s posts. She’s incredibly funny (I wonder if she ever gets sick of being called funny because it must happen all the time?) and is overwhelmed in a disarming way about being a mom. Kelcey makes those cringe-worthy motherhood moments read like you’d almost want to live them again. And she clearly cares about her readers. I can tend to be a lurker (not in a creepy way), but when I have commented on a post, Kelcey has responded more than once with a personal remark. A nice personal remark. Now that’s classy!
If you shy away from what is termed as “Mommyblogs,” you really are missing some very good writing and insights into what makes up a mom and what shapes a woman. I think mass media is enjoying the term mommybloggers a bit too much and lumping the misinformed with skilled set. Psst – The Mama Bird Diaries is part of the skilled set…
Kelcey’s recent move from Manhattan to the suburbs has kept me smiling for weeks. There are kid questions (“So when I’m a mommy and I have babies, where do I get the daddy?”) and potty training and movie-star crushes and yearning for friends and snapshot after snapshot of a beautiful family. Which, in turn, makes me take a moment to appreciate my beautiful family – that’s what good writing does.
If you haven’t just jumped over to Kelcey’s blog yet, you can find her here. You can also find her on The Mouthy Housewives, a humor advice site (she’s co-founder and a weekly contributor.) She also contributes here, here and here! And she’s funny.
[…] told her that anytime I feeling crummy, I’m going to go re-read her post as a pick-me-up. I’m very grateful and humbled by her kind […]
Kelcey is super funny and nice! I’m a big fan as well!
She sure is! I just checked out your blog and you are no slacker in the funny department either. When my kids are older, I’ll keep your mama in mind 🙂
I am a huge fan of Kelcey myself! I love the mamas supporting other mamas– great post!
Isn’t her blog the greatest? She’s funny, honest and so fun to read. Hers was one of the first blogs I ever discovered – and I’m so glad I did!
Kate – I took a peek at your blog and I’m glad you and your girl are feeling better! I had that with my first boy and Yowzah!
I read a post in your blog, Christy, that you’re training for a triathlon. Me too! Is it your first? If it is, me too!
Thank you both for stopping by.
Oh, absolutely! I Love Kelcey’s blog! And Kelcey is pretty awesome, too 😉
