Blog

The blog I read is called Boobs, Injuries and Dr. Pepper:

Her about me is:
Crystal
I have a girl, Virginia, who is eight and a boy, Devon, who is fifteen and baby Harmony is this many (1). I'm married to Chris. This is not a mommy blog. My kids aren't perfect & I cuss a lot. I think that disqualifies me from the mommy blog club.

I have to disagree with Crystal, her blog was absolutely a member of the mommy blog club, mostly because her children aren't perfect and she cusses a lot. What makes blogging more interesting than essays and published books for me was the fact that there was interaction right there in front of me. All of her posts had around 70 responses and she was continually raising money for charities for individuals that needed help. She had a very compelling post about a friend's child who was born with a heart condition that would keep her living in a hospital for the first two years of her life only to go through incredibly risky heart surgery. Her requests for donations weren't for organizations in a lot of cases and I found this rather appealing as a new way of doing things. It felt like she was definitely contributing to citizenship for her readers and herself.
