Monday afternoon link-love

posted in Chicago Stuff, Mom Rants |

I know Monday morning sounds so much better, but I didn’t have time to post some of my favorite links on the web until now.  Following is a list of some good Monday afternoon reads.  

  • Take a bow, or kirtsy:  The site formerly known as sk*rt is back with a new name! Go check out kirtsy.  The site’s as cute and fun as it sounds.
  • SWAT this:  I still am hesitant about becoming a SWAT, but the conversation continues. Check out the dialogue here on BabyCenter and from a SWAT participant herself, Mojomom.
  • Some good news for the PR flacks: I’m so sick of PR getting such a bad rap on the blogosphere. Is a PR-blacklist wiki really necessary?  Do we bloggers really want to align ourselves with such McCarthy-like behavior? I think there are better ways to educate the PR field about blogger outreach, and so does Maria Bailey. Check out her new site, Mom Select, which helps companies and PR folks connect with moms and mom bloggers.  It’s opt-in so everyone wins.
  • Public schools may not be for me: I have a new post up on Chicago Moms Blog today where I voice my opinion on the right to choose a private education over a public one for my son. 
  • How many different feet you meet: If you’re in my hood, check out the new shoe store, a pied. Your shoes and wallet will thank you!

    I am with you. I don’t think it’s necessary to call out PR Peeps. I think this is all so new and that they are learning. I say call them or email them back and tell them what they are doing wrong. I am sure (hoping anyway) that their intentions are good.
