I visited your site from a link on Welcome to the Monkey House (http://zoopals.wordpress.com/2006/09/07/oh-its-that-kind-of-club/). I’m a straight mom (I babbled long enough about my story in the comment of that blog) but I was VERY pissed off to hear about Club Mom. I hope their mailboxes get flooded with supportive mail from moms (and dads too!) both gay and straight. Thank you for setting up this website! I look forward to reading more!

Thanks everybody! Sarah & BB, what do you think about a \”Global Families\” category? Then if it gets large like the babies or ttc category, I could split off by country. Right now there are a handful of Canadians, Aussies (maybe Kiwis too?), and you guys, at least as far as I can tell.

I have a hard time finding playgroups in this conservative state I live in that I would even feel comfortable expressing my lack of religiousness.

Finding lesbian moms? Ha ha.

If Club Mom could offer that kind of openness, I’d be there.

Hi,

I totally love your site, I am so glad there is something out there where all the blogs of Lesbian Families are listed together.

As for catergories, I think it all depends on just how defined you would like to make it. I noticed you have biracial families, you could do bilingual families, or perhaps families of different spiritual backgrounds, or sort families per country. Just a few thoughts. Keep up the great work!

That’s just cat crap.
To be honest, I’ve not been too impressed with ClubMom. This just sort of seals the deal for me. Plus? The junk email I get from them? Bah.
Liza, what you’ve started here is a much more productive, supportive, informative, and inclusive than the ClubMom Industry. Kudos to you.

Never one to look away from a trainwreck, I had to go and check this out. They do have one lesbian mom: Denise T. She mostly writes (not nearly as well as you or Trista, imho) about homeschooling. And yes, no ways to get hooked up with 2momblogs. LAME.

It is you!

Somehow I didn\’t notice the Christian bloggers on ClubMom. Offically, there are 4 \”religion & spirituality\” bloggers there, 2 very explicitly Christian, one very fond of the word spirit and derivitives thereof, and 1 ambiguous.

And I agree about some of the blogs — that\’s why I first visited ClubMom. Several bloggers are very funny, and complement the bloggers\’ home blogs in a way I like. I just wish they had a couple of voices like ours.

Care to tell any more about your experience with ClubMom?

High profile? Is that me you were talking about (ooh how embarassing if it wasn’t) I barely recognized myself. In your category of the club mom blogs above you forgot to mention that there are women specifically blogging as “Christian” moms and families. I think that’s a clue.

Don’t get me wrong, though, I love some of those club mom blogs, I’m just bitter…

I love the idea of a butch category. Also, what about a category for step families?
