• I Have a Kid Hangover (But Manage to Write Anyway)
  @ Patheos: Seriously, read this: "The past thirteen-plus years for me have been one long exercise in welcoming the messy, noisy, needy people who are my children. They make it hard to get anything done, especially writing. But without them, I’m not sure I’d have anything worthwhile to write, or for others to read."
• For the dog days of motherhood when you want your money back
  I wrote a guest post over at Momastery. It's about how I never wanted to be a mom. And what I discovered in between...
• This one on what our kids are watching in us
  @OhAmanda - are we willing to say "watch me" when we're teaching our kids about technology, alcohol, TV, friendships, marriage...great read here.
• What feelings are for (a post about your kids and drugs)
  @Heather Kopp: "What are your feelings trying to tell you? I’d ask. Then we’d talk about how to honor your feelings without letting them be you…and run your life into the ditch."
• Why you need to tell someone how scared you are
  @Chatting at the Sky: If I hadn’t told them I was afraid, they may not have known to cheer.
