Saturday Night Specials

We like the share and share alike ethos of the parentsphere. And if you’re home enjoying some quiet time on the web on a Saturday night, we wouldn’t dare try to engage you with anything other than cream and quality. So how about a swap of blog posts we both like? —

We’d love to know of any interesting/inspiring/amusing/entertaining articles or posts you’ve ready lately that are in some way connected to parenting (or not), and we did our best to share in kind by dipping into the web in search of some parenting treasure from a few reliable sources. Here’s what we found:

* Lisa Belkin, the NY Times Motherlode blogger, highlights a study reporting that children make older parents happy.

* Alice Bradley, of Finslippy, and Eden Kennedy, of Fussy — the co-authors of “Let’s Panic About Babies” — have%uFFFDa video%uFFFD “Momversation” about pregnancy sex.

* Liz Gumbinner, of Cool Mom Picks %uFFFDand Mom 101, shares %uFFFD The Best Mother’s Day Gift Ever in the History of the World.

* Gretchen Rubin, of The Happiness Project, with her meditative version of a Quiz of The Week, asking about whether one is a “moderator” or an “abstainer” %uFFFD when it comes to giving something up.

And here’s one from our recent stock:

* Leah Black,%uFFFDNew York Family’s Born & Bred editor, on enjoying the radio–and NPR in particular–with her young toddler.
