API International
Through education, support, advocacy and research, our principal goal is to heighten global awareness of the profound significance of secure attachment - not only to invest in our children's bright futures, but to reduce and ultimately prevent emotional and physical mistreatment of children, addiction, crime, behavioral disorders, mental illness, and other outcomes of early unhealthy attachment.

Breastfeeding Moms Unite!
The purpose of this blog is to create a community where breastfeeding moms come to read, ponder and discuss a myriad of topics related to breastfeeding and to give and receive support from other moms. You will find that I more often write about the "Why" and "What" of breastfeeding rather than the "How To."

We publish around 12 books a year, so it's always worth checking what's new on our website. Pinter & Martin is based in London, but we sell and market books all over the world, with distribution in the US, Canada and Australia.
Natural Parenting Network
We are a community of natural-minded parents and parents-to-be where you will be informed, empowered, and inspired. NatParNet would not be possible without the generous help of our volunteers. "Natural parenting" is based on a desire to live and parent responsively and consciously. While no two families who practice natural parenting may define it the same way, there are several principles that are widely agreed to be part of this lifestyle.
PHD in Parenting
I'm working on my proverbial PhD in Parenting. As someone who has spent a lot of years in a classroom, I learned that sometimes I need to take notes and explain things to others before I can truly master them. I spend a lot of time thinking about and reading about things that will help me to be a better parent, so I decided to start writing about it to with the hopes that more of it will sink in. Maybe my blog will help others along the way too.
Mama Eve Blog
My mission is to be a moderate voice in parenting politics, and bring fresh ideas about how to make parenting simpler and greener while keeping in mind we live in a hectic world and what we sometimes need most of all is "easy". Mama Eve was founded in 2009. It began simply as an idea to compile and share parenting research, but then became a blog and full-fledged website, and then a store for favorite parenting products.
Lactivist
Lactivist net is a centre for all like minded lactivists. It is a space for people who promote breastfeeding in anyway to share information and news. Lactivist.net is the offspring of www.lactivist.co.uk, a site that sells t-shirts and accessories that promote breastfeeding. www.lactivist.co.uk was started in 2003 by Lisa Cole as a reaction to negative comments about her breastfeeding her small son in public. There is also www.lactivistbling.co.uk a site devoted to breastfeeding jewellery.

The purpose of this site is to provide resources for breastfeeding moms, moms-to-be, and others who support natural feeding.
Code Name Mama
I am a lawyer turned work at home mama to an amazing son; I'm also one of those crunchy liberals my parents warned me about. My hubby and I believe in natural birth, exclusive/extended breastfeeding, delayed/selective vaccinations, cloth diapering, no circumcision, a family bed, healthy eating, and "going green" as much as possible. On Code Name: Mama, I share information, resources, and my thoughts on natural parenting and life with a toddler.

Real Zest
The idea behind Real Zest is simple - Find a bunch of really smart, truly unique women with interesting things to say. Give them a place where they can share their thoughts, anonymously if need be. Support them with a community manager, editor and some business development savvy. Pay them from the start, if not a lot, at least enough to pay for a babysitter so they can write or buy a nice bottle of wine. Work really hard to promote the space as one where it's great to be a mom but not the only thing, amazing to be a woman but not the final word, and best to be thoughtful at every turn.
Authentic Parenting
I am a woman, a mother, a wife... I have a master's degree in communication sciences, but have chosen to stay at home with my child. Everything family-related became a bit of an obsession to me as soon as I got pregnant with our daughter. It has been quite a journey for our family. This 'obsession' led me to find out about attachment parenting, about natural childbirth, baby led weaning and so on. It has led our family to 'go green' and eat paleo. And ultimately it has led to this blog.
Parenting for Social Change
Parenting for Social Change is about creating new paradigms for parenting that affirm the dignity and respect the rights of all children. In writing about social change parenting, I hope to challenge the pervasive adultism within myself and in our society. I hope to inspire others on their journeys to look deep within themselves and create new parenting paradigms.
Mothers for Womens Lib
This is a group blog dedicated to feminist mums and mums-to-be the world over, where we can discuss matters which are important to us. Feminism changes a mother, and motherhood changes a feminist – here is a place for us to talk about raising our children as feminist mothers, the challenges we face, or feminist issues which are especially important to us as mothers.
The Unnecesarean
The Unnecesarean provides information about preventing an unnecessary cesarean and resources for making fully-informed decisions about childbirth while offering an irreverent take on the maternity care crisis in the United States and beyond.
The Hobo Mama
I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister. I have wanted to be a writer since I was ten years old, and I have found a passion in blogging. Parenting has changed me profoundly and has given me a new perspective and a new obsession. I advocate for breastfeeding, natural birth, babywearing, cloth diapering, elimination communication, gentle discipline, attachment parenting, and all the usual suspects.
Raising My Boychick
I am not a SAHM, and I am not amused. But I am sometimes funny. I write about independence, attachment parenting, and societal misogyny. I write about menstruation, and genitals, and sex, and sexuality, and the color of my underwear. I write about trying to raise the Boychick free from limiting gender roles, while teaching him to not be a bad man.
Dagmars Momsense

Come join me!

I created this blog to keep family members updated to Abbey's growth and all the adorable pictures I take of her, but it has become much more now.

I strive to live by peaceful and constructive principles, in the amazing world and loving grace I have been created in by God.
