GLITTER CEREAL BOX CROWNS at Warrior Girl blog. "I felt just as unfinished & not quite right & work in progress about myself as this glitter crown project. But as I gave the project attention, I made more sense of it. I saw possibilities. I saw new steps. I connected it to successes of the past. Maybe the lesson is things don't have to be perfect to be good... Things that aren't quite right can lead us to... where we have to go. We're all a work-in-progress."

Lori from the High House blog: "I am a single mom, a widow... the doggy mom to... mad canines, and Snickers the tom cat.... I love candles, gardening, and strangely I do love my job.... My daughter is soon to be 10, and going on 30. This is all relevant in that she truly believes she is the 'mom'. Such as reminding me You have to be up at 5, so you can be to work at 7:30... I don’t know who she thinks I am. I am not that high maintenance." YPBC
Mommy with Selective Memory blog: "Yes, my husband isn't home much. Yes, the kids fight sometimes and thus cry. A lot. Yes, my house is often a mess and I hate traveling for work and being away from the kids. Yet my life is sooo FUN. I made the decision two years ago to never focus on the negative and it has made life so much easier." YPBC

Rowena Dot Murillo of the Warrior Girl blog. Writer, artist, blogger, crafter, cook, mom, obsessive creator. "I have always had the dream of being a working artist/writer and mom. I imagined painting and writing in a light and color filled studio in a cozy home, while my children played peacefully around my ankles... In life, for me, being a mother and an artist ended up being somewhere between the two poles." YPBC

Melissa Culbertson, Momcomm. "Over 11 years of experience in marketing communications (marcom), I’ve written content for numerous websites, managed creative teams and even worked on commercials... Momcomm began on my other blog, Adventuroo. After seeing that blogging moms craved knowledge to improve their blogs, I had a ding! ding! ding! moment and realized my marcom knowledge could apply to blogging too. And that’s how Momcomm began. (Yes, it’s a play on “marcom.”)"

You could end up that weird chick on the playground.... bless the internet, because now we can take this mess global. If we can’t talk you out of your tree, we’ll join you in your tree house. Hmmm, I think we’re gonna need a bigger tree house."--sisters Ellen and Erin.

Sperk: "Stories about parenting... my dealings with unresolved issues brought to light as I struggle to parent differently than I was parented. When I share my stories of healing, others heal. I know this because it’s happened to me. As I build my blogging community, I come across heartfelt stories of struggle and hope and am inspired to look within, embrace the uncomfortable stuff, and set it free. This is the beauty of the blogosphere. This is why I am here."
