Preemie Twins Blog

The Preemie Twins Blog is a place of understanding, empathy, and information for parents of multiples and premature babies.

Preemie Twins Blog - Why You Should Go

If you are the parent of multiples or a premature baby, or just know parents of multiples or premature babies, you know that there are definite trials, tribulations, and triumphs that these families and young babies experience. You also know that a strong system of support is one of the only ways to cope, and that often that support, understanding, and information sharing is something that you can only get from people who have lived through the same.

This blog, a highly informative blog for parents of multiple preemies, is at times jubilant and at others heart wrenching, but at all times is a wonderful place for parents experiencing the challenges and triumphs of parenting twins, multiples, and premature babies. The blog is written by a mother who has been through it all, and is contributed to by many others.

Summing Up Preemie Twins Blog

Many preemie twins and multiples are true medical miracles, just as the babies who inspired this blog, Macy and Mallory, are. Still, medical science can only get a parent so far when faced with the challenges and emotions of caring for premature babies. This blog helps to fill the void, lend a hand of support, and educate parents to make the road as smooth as it possibly can be.

Where to Find Irish Mammy On The Run:

Category: Parenting, Children, Children’s Rights

Irish Mammy On The Run

Irish Mammy is a returned Irish expat now home to enjoy her home country of Ireland and raise her two young children…and hopefully make the country a better place for them while she’s there.

Irish Mammy On The Run - Why You Should Go

Irish Mammy On The Run is foremost a parenting blog. ‘Mammy’ had lived for 8 years abroad in Europe, where she met her love, got married, and had her first child. It was then that she decided to return to the home country to raise her kids (the second being welcomed in June 2009), which has proven a bit of a struggle in a nation that is experiencing serious economic difficulties.

Additionally, what Mammy found upon arrival back in Ireland is that it ranks quite low (near the bottom of 22 countries) in terms of benefits for children, which makes managing the costs of childcare and healthcare a serious burden for the average Irish family. This bred a strong urge to get involved and fight for her kids and their rights, and the blog is in large part dedicated to this cause. Mammy speaks intelligently on the subject, with the facts and figures to back her, and supports petitioning and causes to fund children’s benefits in Ireland.

Summing Up Irish Mammy On The Run

Irish Mammy is running a little less these days, but is no less busy. Her blog is a great one if you are looking to connect with fellow concerned parents around the world, and a definite destination for those in Ireland working for political change for children and families.

Where to Find Attachment Parenting Blog
Blog URL:http:http://www.apparenting.com/
Category: Parenting, Personal Interests, Children

Attachment Parenting

The Attachment Parenting Blog is written by Dave Taylor, a parent who practices attachment parenting. This is a parenting style that focuses on spending extended time with your children.

Attachment Parenting Blog – Why You Should Go

Attachment parents use strategies like co-sleeping, extended breastfeeding and using slings rather than strollers to transport their babies. These strategies help ensure the maximum amount of time together between parent and child. Some of the strategies, of course, change as the child gets older, but the focus remains spending lots of time with your children and delaying the independent nature fostered by many parents. Dave Taylor has compiled a large list of resources on the blog for helping parents practice attachment parenting, and he writes regularly about his own parenting experiences.

This blog is helpful if you’re interested in practicing attachment parenting, or if you’re just exploring different parenting techniques before you have children. For those already practicing attachment parenting, this site is a great place to share experiences with other attachment parents.

A good website to learn about the attachment parenting style to determine if it’s right for your family or to share your own parenting experiences.

Where to Find Workout Mommy:

Workout Mommy

For blogger Lisa motivating herself to work out and be fit and healthy was never the problem. That is, until she had children. That’s when (as any parents can relate) her life changed and working out and exercising became much more of a challenge. That is the challenge she is rising to meet at her blog, Workout Mommy.

Workout Mommy - Why You Should Go

Working out and staying fit and healthy was always a part of Lisa’s life. Before kids, Lisa was a personal trainer, fitness instructor, and self-described “fitness junkie”—all titles she intended to keep when she became a parent. Of course, that is where the real challenge started.

Once her children arrived on the scene, Lisa became acutely aware of just how difficult it could be to balance parenting and children and fitness. But knowing how important good fitness was to her health and well-being, she wasn’t ready to quit, either. Out of her effort to be fit and find time for exercise, her blog grew. Today the blog is a top-shelf resource for parents to not only deliver information about fitness and exercise (from an obviously qualified source), but also to learn to balance that effort and find the time and motivation.

Lisa’s experience is not so different than that of any parent, but her blog is here to help both moms and dads to achieve and maintain good fitness and health:

“I struggle with finding the time each day and making myself stay fit. It’s a struggle, I won’t lie to you. But it is one that is worth it. My goal with this blog is to provide motivation, inspiration, and ideas on how to fit in exercise, fitness, and health in your busy mommy day. After all, a fit mommy is a happy mommy!”

Summing Up Workout Mommy

Lisa is in a unique place to really help parents stay fit and healthy with her combined experience as a trainer and parent. Offering hers as a blog of “fitness and exercise tips for busy moms and dads,” this may just be the blog that helps you strike the balance and maintain your good health.

Where to Find Baby Blog Addict:

Category: Parenting, Personal Interests

Baby Blog Addict

The first step in dealing with an addiction is in admitting you have a ‘problem’; the second is in feeding that addiction—at least if it is one as harmless and potentially beneficial as an addiction to baby blogs.

Baby Blog Addict - Why You Should Go

It seems there comes a time in every parent-to-be or new parent’s new life when baby blog addiction is almost a guaranteed thing. It’s something akin to the addiction of buying every pregnancy and baby book or magazine you can get your hands on. Only better. Baby blog addictions allow you to connect with real, live people and learn and talk and gain the support of a community of people who understand exactly what you are going through, and have a similar affinity for helping one another through this wonderful, yet stressful, phase of life.

All of this is just what the Baby Blog Addict blog was created for. Growing out of their own addiction to parenting and baby blogs, Scott and Jennifer decided to join in the fun and create a community of their own. The result is this very successful and informative blog about all things baby. You’ll find links and information for absolutely everything here with topics ranging from managing the work/family life balance to Jennifer’s personal pregnancy journal, to choosing the cutest layette ever, Dad’s diary and father’s issues, and then well beyond into the triumphs and trials of parenthood—all of that, and great giveaways, too!

Summing Up Baby Blog Addict

If you’re a baby blog addict, you’ll love this site where you can admit it loudly and proudly. If you’re not an addict yet, come along for some top information and resources from this blog, and you soon will be. Either way, this is the place for parents-to-be, young parents, and baby addicts in general to fill the void.
