Read some of the Best British Mummy Bloggers

Londonmumsblog.com has started a Best of the British Mummy Bloggers "carnival" to promote bloggers writing about being a parent. Kind of like regular Carnival, except without the headdresses and bikinis, but with just as much enthusiasm.

According to the NYTimes, 15 million women have their own blogs. "Mommyblogging" is a big deal in the US. The annual conference for Blogher - a women's online blogging community - featured discussions about it last year.

The "carnival" gathers together the best posts from a varity of mummy blogs once a month. Every month it's hosted by a different blog, which will post the list of the best of the best (look for Alpha Mummy to host in January).

Until then, click through to read posts from a whole range of mummy blogs, including:

Part Mummy, Part Me on marrying with a five-year-old daughter: Mummy, it's my wedding too!

Samantha Smythe's (aka Lucy Cavendish's) Modern Family Blog on losing weight.

Vote on your favourite. (May I respectfully suggest Alpha Mummy's I hope my daughter isn't a virgin when she marries post, which generated loads of thoughtful discussion about coping with young girls' sexuality?)

Perhaps I should start my own carnival!
