Don’t hate me, but I’m a daddy blogger.
I realized it this week when I looked down the article list at The Blog According to Buzz and found I had written more about the horrors of daycare and mango pits as teething aids than media and pop culture.
It’s not such a bad thing, I’m a new parent, it’s what my life is about right now and I’m meeting other new parents and sharing stories and support.
Heather Armstrong is perhaps the most famous parenting blogger on the internet. Online, she’s known as Dooce – a word that is also a verb. To be dooced is to be fired for writing about your work online. In 2002, Armstrong was fired as a graphic designer for writing about her experiences at a dot com startup. Since then she has told stories of depression, pregnancy, parenting and her family life in Utah. Her blog became so popular she didn’t need to look for another job and her husband quit his to handle the ad sales for Dooce.com.

I am proud to be a Mommy blogger. I love the connections it have created in our lives, while raising our first son! Also the support of Mommy’s around the world is precious to me!
The best part of Kathy Lee nailing Heather Armstrong to the wall, ending with her confession “I don’t know much about computers, and what I do know scares me.” is that she herself has a “blog”:

What I know about Kathy Lee scares me…
Is it a blog when your name is Kathie Lee and you havent updated in a month?
I’d say it’s a token webpage that will quickly become stale and boring. Wait, it already has.
[…] my life this week. As for Facebook, I have managed to update my status for our anniversary, and for the newspaper article I was in today. I have not a clue as to what anyone else’s “status” […]
I’m SO proud to be mentioned in the same article as Angella and Heather. Very flattering for me indeed!! Thanks again Buzz.
In choosing Carolyn for an interview, you put a spotlight on one of my favorite bloggers. I’ve gotten to know her over the past few months through her blog, through her comments on mine, and from emails. She’s a great writer, and funny as hell. Great choice, and great article!
I’m off to check out Angella’s blog now…
But first, in response to Rita’s comment: I heard that Kathie Lee had a blog, but could never find it. Thanks for the (damning) link. She spent how many years on national TV showing photos of her kids and telling stories about them every single day?
Hello, I read Carolyn at laughingaloneinthedark. She is a terrifically talented young woman first and mother second. Although she writes a mommy blog she covers a plethora of topics, her photography is wonderful and her writing insightful, witty and clever. She tackles the quite often difficult topics of the difficulties of motherhood – something a lot of people don’t have the courage to do. She is clearly an excellent mum and well worth a visit.
