I've been blogging for a year now, and I really believe it is making me a better parent to Sean and Will. I've met so many wonderful mothers and I've learned so much from them. I think the most important thing they teach me is not to take myself too seriously. To open my heart to silliness and embrace my life's imperfections instead of resenting them.

Here are my favorite posts for this week from 4 amazing moms :

• Solistella writes a short letter to her husband telling him not to worry because their sons are helping her around the house and shares a hilarious picture of her youngest sorting the laundry with her.
• Lynneth at A time once traveled shares a video of her son eating a chocolate yogurt and is "so out of words with this one". I am too!
• Jenny at True Nature reminds us that "in the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.”
• Jamie at BlondMomBlog teaches us how to "shaggify ourselves" and/or entertain a 3 year-old.
