When I was potty training my first child, a good friend (herself in the middle of potty training her child) called me, at the end of her rope.  "You know," she sighed, "there should really be a camp for this.  Some place we could send our toddlers, and they could just come home trained.  At this point, I'd pay big bucks for that."

I was at a little social gathering last night where the conversation turned to blogs, and so I joined the fray and mentioned that I'm a blogger. In no time at all a new acquaintance and I were comparing notes on who we read and love. And when another woman joined the conversation, the first woman responded to the "What sorts of blogs do you read?" question with "Well, I know it's awful to put it this way and people hate being called this, but what I really love are the mommyblogs."
