On The Blogroll: A Mom Amok

The NYMetroParents blogroll features the best blogs in the parenting world, from New York and beyond. Here’s a closer look at why we love these mom bloggers and dad bloggers and how they’re shaping the web for parenting today.

Blogging From: Brooklyn, New York

Everyone has one of those friends who says all of the painful truths that the rest of us only dare to think, and Nicole Caccavo Kear (aka A Mom Amok) is exactly that person. The proud mother of three outrageous and clever children, this tell-it-like-it-is mom invites us to follow her every adventure through Brooklyn and beyond. Whether you can relate to Nicole’s stories as a mother, or you just crave a witty blog to keep up with, A Mom Amok will undeniably quench your comedy thirst.

A Mom Amok’s posts often include outlandish and embarrassing stories from her life relating to her children, from the first day of kindergarten, to the first death of a pet, to the fun tales of family vacations abroad. For a split second you may think that you are reading a script to a future episode of Modern Family, and there is a good chance you’ll be laughing just as hard as you would be at the show. Besides learning the intimate and humorous details of the families’ lives, Nicole also shares fun websites, locations to bring children in New York, and interesting facts that she finds relating to families’ with children of all ages. If you’re looking for the brutal truth or just some fun ideas for a weekend with your kids, A Mom Amok is the go-to blog for sure! — Richard Stile
