City Mama citymama.typepad.com Wit and sass lace Stefania Pomponi Butler’s blog of parenting rants and pop-culture musings. As a writer, editor, blogger and mother of two, Butler opines with an unfiltered voice about everything from her National Lampoon–like family adventure in Hawaii to cynical reflections on SF happenings (she calls Gavin Newsom “Mayor McHottie”). Butler also gives fashion, beauty and music tips to keep moms in the know. Mommy Track’d mommytrackd.com Attorney and Mill Valley mom Amy Keroes founded this slickly designed “working mother’s guide to managed chaos,” which offers practical tips on organization, useful articles and books for moms juggling outside-the-home duties with childcare and a message board for sharing dilemmas and inspiration. The Noe Valley Stroller Group noestrolls.com Check out Noestrolls for round-the-clock SF activities for the family. It’s arranged by daily, weekly and special events—just pack your diaper bag and go. This group of Noe Valley parents also organizes a weekly stroller brigade for hikes up Castro Hill and through Dolores Park. The downside? This blog’s tiny print and overcrowded layout make it hard to navigate. The Family Room susanetlinger.typepad.com/the_family_room This blog is a heartwarming peek at life through the eyes of a Pacific Heights mother raising a son with autism. Susan Etlinger’s posts explore therapy options and the challenges of the neuro-developmental disorder interwoven with stories about her daily experiences, including bedtime rituals and trips to the grocery store. Doodaddy doodaddy.net “Doodaddy” is caretaker to 18-month-old “Boobaby” while Mommy works nine to five. Jungle-gym mishaps, childhood role models, first words and playground parenting chatter are all topics recounted daily in Doodaddy’s entertaining posts. This SF blogger’s lighthearted entries attempt to put the parenting world in perspective—smashed rice cakes in the car and all. Crazed Parent crazedparent.org Charlene Birkeland has quite the juggling act: two sons (ages two and five), a husband, a Labrador puppy named Luna and a career as a freelance writer. Somewhere between teaching her sons to throw a baseball and writing for the San Francisco Chronicle, Birkeland blogs about “random riffs of the parenting kind.” If you find yourself fearing that you’re a “rookie parent” in panic mode over your child’s suspicious scab, this smart blog is your sanctuary. Silicon Valley Moms svmomblog.typepad.com With a slew of contributors and multiple posts per day, the Silicon Valley mom’s blog covers topics ranging from coping with the challenges of infertility to navigating the suburban world of minivans and soccer practices. Here you’ll find practical tips on how these moms with high-tech careers manage to throw no-hassle birthday parties and stay sane while having all of the kids home for the summer. Corndog & Root Beer corndogandrootbeer.com A blogging couple pairs humor and advice in a palatable combination. Henri and Cindy post to-the-point entries and documentary-style photos that make this a breezy, fun read. Question: How to distract a two-year-old and a three-month-old during a wedding ceremony? Answer: Reuse and recycle. Let them doodle and drool all over your discarded Palm Pilot.
