"  The other day I was over at TwitterMoms.com, where I asked the mom blogger group to offer up their favorite blogs, so I could share them with you. Who knew there were so many diverse mom blogs, from the funny to the factual, the informational to the introspective? Some aren&amp;#039;t even in English. Here are a few you might like to bookmark for later when nobody&amp;#039;s talking to you while you surf. Like, say, at midnight. Mam\u00E1 Contempor\u00E1nea (http://www.mamacontemporanea.com) I admit that I took only two semesters of Spanish in college, so much of what I know about the language is pretty much from watching soccer on Telemundo. So, I&amp;#039;ll take this Mam\u00E1 blogger&amp;#039;s word for it that her site is a Spanish-language blog for trendy Latina moms in the U.S and around the world. There are photos of stylishly dressed women, some of them pregnant and looking better than I do even when I really, really try. There are product reviews, such as one for Kajeet, &amp;quot;el primer servicio de telefon\u00EDa cellular&amp;quot; for ni\u00F1os ages 8 to 14. There&amp;#039;s also a public service announcement about the Swine Flu (Gripe Porcina), and a plug for yesterday&amp;#039;s National Mom&amp;#039;s Nite Out. While I don&amp;#039;t understand all the words, I recognize that this blog is a great resource for Spanish-speaking moms everywhere. And really, what mom doesn&amp;#039;t know what &amp;quot;vomito y diarrea&amp;quot; means? Ziggy&amp;#039;s Blog (http://ziggysblogs.blogspot.com/) Don&amp;#039;t let the Barbie pink background fool you: Ziggy&amp;#039;s blog is turning into a serious service site about raising teens, courtesy of a single mom of two who&amp;#039;s studying to be a special education teacher. While her earlier posts centered on her life, she has since turned her blog into a resource for parents of teens. Last week, she posted an informative blog about teen bullying and what to do about it: &amp;quot;Don&amp;#039;t encourage fighting back against a bully, as this could lead to him/her getting hurt or getting in trouble.&amp;quot; Last month, she wrote about high school dropouts: &amp;quot;One high school student drops out every nine seconds.&amp;quot; Also, about binge drinking: &amp;quot;Nearly 9 percent of boys and 7 percent of girls ages 12 to 17 reported binge drinking in the previous month.&amp;quot; For the scoop on serious teen-related issues, drop by Ziggy&amp;#039;s blog. Crunchy Green Mom (http://crunchygreenmom.blogspot.com) I wasn&amp;#039;t sure if this was a new dessert or a blog about eco-living. Turns out, it&amp;#039;s neither. Lilith Silvermane&amp;#039;s blog is an interesting mish-mosh of things that cross her mind, product reviews and photos. It&amp;#039;s as though she downloads the sorts of things that amuse, annoy and otherwise affect moms every day. In a recent Open Letter Friday, the working mother of six rants about a thoughtless teen who ignores traffic as she tends to her MP3 player while crossing the road. When she later realizes that she&amp;#039;d done the very same thing while looking at her Blackberry, she admits, &amp;quot;I was that girl.&amp;quot; Last Friday, she asked herself a very serious question: &amp;quot;What would you do if you were dying?&amp;quot; She wonders, &amp;quot;Would you finally backpack through Europe or spend the night in a wine villa in Italy?&amp;quot; And would she blog about it? Why, of course. Happy Mother&amp;#039;s Day! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
