in Mother’s Day: 5 Social Media Tools for New Moms on Mashable - The Social Media Guide
Great list---I'm a fan of OpMom!

I also have to plug Savvy Source, which has a main site and also sites specific to cities all over the US. It has great parenting information and is a wonderful resource for parents seeking childcare/preschools---has tons of reviews from parents who have children in the programs.

Themotherhood.com is also great---so many neat groups and resources for moms.

in A private note to PR people on Scobleizer
I found this article from Twitter, where quite a few of us comment (good and bad, mostly bad) about PR pitches. In fact, that's where I got another link to an entire blog dedicated to critiquing PR pitches. This girl Maisie, who is a mommyblogger (gets a lot of pitches) started PR Pass Fail blog http://prfail.blogspot.com/ and is deconstructing the good, the bad and the ugly.

The difference between this and Bad Pitch Blog that Shel Holtz mentioned is that instead of being run by PR people, it's the done by a person who is a representative of the people the PR people are trying to reach.

I confess I submitted a good pitch on her mail in offer.

I totally agree, defensive is not the way to go. Learning and improving is.

Great article.

WineWonkette Thanks Julie. Joe laughs at the picture -- calls me a "bow head" and it's funny because I absolutely HATED it when my mother did that to my hair. But I like the picture now that I do my own hair.

Thanks, Karoli. I think there is anothe rreason a lid is being kept on this. I knew there was a media blackout to a degree that was in place and yesterday I think I found out why. Thanks for trying to bring more attention and help because whatever the politics are that are going on, the people need help.

Karoli Julie,

Based upon some reports and emails I received yesterday I think I know why too. I hope they're wrong but I'm afraid they're not.

in Why Arts in Education Matter on odd time signatures
What a powerful story---the exact example we should keep in mind, always.

I agree the arts can help kids succeed, and you made an excellent point that by de-emphasizing the arts, we convey the idea that these skills are unimportant or less worthy.

SciFi dad also made the point that school then becomes a *training* place rather than a place of *education* and that came to my mind when reading this.

I wonder how many at-risk kids will be lost as we drop the arts.

So glad you joined in!!
