Two years ago today, I wrote my first post for Mombian. My goal was to create a blog of useful and fun news and resources for lesbian moms—as lesbians and as moms.

Kathy Belge, publisher of the always interesting, wide-ranging Lesbian Life blog, has named Mombian to the number-two spot on her Top 10 Best Lesbian Blogs list. The other nine are fabulous blogs all, and I’m honored to be in such company. I urge you to check them out (along with Lesbian Life itself, if you
Thanks to those of you who have already taken my Blog Reader Project survey. If you haven’t, I hope you will consider doing so. It is completely anonymous, and will give me (and potential advertisers) a better sense of who you are and what you’d like to see here. Your data (but not your actual

[Update: Joan Conde at Mamacita has pointed out that this award is in all likelihood a scam to encourage links to the Mother’s Day Central site for purely commercial purposes. I’m not against making a buck, but Mother’s Day Central seems to be employing duplicitous means to do so. The lack of contact information on
It’s just my luck that we had a sleet storm here in the Hudson Valley yesterday, when the movers packed all our stuff onto a truck. Yes, the move to the Boston area that I mentioned back in October has finally arrived, despite the vagaries of the housing market and New York real-estate laws, which
I’m pleased to announce that the Mombian Resource Directory for LGBT Parents now has over 500 links on starting a family, raising children (both LGBT-specific sites and general, but LGBT-friendly, sites), LGBT politics and law, online and offline groups, blogs, and forums for LGBT parents, and much more. It covers the entire LGBT spectrum, not
Here’s a handy little item for those of you who want to put Mombian headlines on your own sites: a Mombian widget, courtesy of Widgetbox. Cut and paste a simple bit of code, and voilà! The latest Mombian headlines will display in a small box. It’s suitable for most blog sidebars or wherever else you
