Becoming a parent is a bit like being dropped in the middle of the ocean and having to learn how to swim. Sure, there are plenty of books, but they just can't get you through those, "What was I thinking?" moments. It's one of the reasons that parent blogs are so popular. No matter how bad your day was, someone else had it worse. They were up every hour with a colicky baby, their toddler threw up all day long and their teen came home heartbroken from her first crush. Meanwhile, the dog ran away and the roof developed a leak.

I have some great parenting blogs that I'd like to share, but I also want to know what your favorites are. Whether witty or full of drama, please share. I'll put together a list of some of the most consistently excellent blogs (regularly updated with quality/interesting content) and share them with you. Maybe we'll have a vote for the top ten.

Please post your top picks as a comment. Oh, and don't be shy about nominating your own blogging efforts.

*All sites should be primarily focused on the day-to-day "joys" of parenting. No commercial sites, please (I'll be forced to delete commercial posts)!
