Check out the Mythikos Mommy blog at http://www.mythikosmommy.com. Mythikos means FABULOUS in Greek and the blog talks about everything from humorous experiences from the everyday grind of motherhood to staying fabulous through motherhood. Oh, and she wrote this great coffee table type book called “No One Ever Told Me: Witty, Practical & Spiritual Truths about Motherhood.” I got a couple for a few moms–experienced and newbies–and they love it! Great mother’s day gift if you’re looking.

I am brand, spanking new to the blog world so I really love this list! I can only hope to make it to your top 50 over time (and with bribes?). In case you’re looking for something new, let me introduce Lola. ‘Lola is 40′ is the mostly true, hardly ever exaggerated adventures of Lola and her family. No, make that the hardly true, mostly exaggerated adventures…oh, what the hell. Lola is me and I am her…except that she’s a cartoon. Picture Cathy but married, with children, and donning a better hairstyle. Hope to see you there!
