It’s time for another experiment in the culture of parenting blogs. The last group writing project Babylune hosted was a great success in terms of quality of posts and entertainment value. I’ve also been inspired by the parenting GWPs run by Weary Parent and MamaBlogga.
The Theme:
This time, write a post about a family vacation that you have taken as a parent or as a child. What are your memories of the main event, your favorite parts, the successes, the advice for others, the fun factor and/or the mishaps?

Here are links to all of the entries in the Blogs I Read series. Did you find any new favorites among the blogs I reviewed? Do you think I should continue this series to bring attention to new and interesting blogs or old ones that go the distance?

Are any of the other parenting bloggers out there doing Problogger’s 31 Days to a Better Blog Plan?

If experience is the best teacher, I must be sitting in the corner of the classroom of life wearing the dunce cap.

There were four complete days in the Mistakes Made and Lessons Learned Group Writing Project. The participating blogs wrote posts that were contradictory, funny, sad, frightening, frustrated and altogether wonderful I know that other GWPs have had more entries, but I would argue that they have never had such high literary quality. I am proud to have attracted each of these writers to this contest with a prize worth just $24.95.
Here is the complete list of entries and the announcement of the winner:

This week’s Carnival of Family Life is down under at Down with the Kids. Of special interest to new mothers is Lisa’s post about making your own babyfood, Moorea’s post about paying a babysitter or nanny fairly, and whymommy’s new diet.

 
Ever worry that you’ve been spending too much time writing a parenting blog rather than parenting?
Here are the top five signs.
