Cool Mom by Daphne

Daphne Brogdon (a TV host, standup comic, and a mom) has a great site for moms entitled, ‘Cool Mom‘ . Her site is chock full of always-entertaining short videos about her views on various mom-topics. Her lighthearted and opinionated commentary is refreshing. Every mom has a unique set of motherhood experiences and Daphne hits the nail on the head more often then not, … at least in my opinion.

Baby Names are Evolving

Baby names are evolving at an increasing rate according to comparisons with favorite baby names from years past. It seems more parents are willing and even eager to give their children names that are unique to them. Although Michael, Mary, John, Linda, David, Kathy and the like are still hugely popular you’ll only see one of them, Michael, on the 2007 list below.

Here’s a list of the most popular baby names from 1950:

Boys name / Girls name

1. James / Linda
2. Robert / Mary
3. John / Patricia
4. Michael / Barbara
5. David / Susan
6. William / Nancy
7. Richard / Deborah
8. Thomas / Sandra
9. Charles / Carol
10. Gary / Kathleen

Here’s the list of most popular baby names from 2007:

1. Jacob / Emily
2. Michael / Isabella
3. Ethan / Emma
4. Joshua / Ava
5. Daniel / Madison
6. Christopher / Sophia
7. Anthony / Olivia
8. William / Abigail
9. Matthew / Hannah
10. Andrew / Elizabeth

Choosing a name is one of the more interesting tasks parents have to perform and we all handle it in our own way. Some people dwell on it for months or even years in advance of giving birth and others wait until the baby is in their arms. Neither method is better or worse then the other and most people we’ve met are OK with their given names so no harm, no foul.

Our children’s names are: Brian, Kevin, Dustin, and Colin. The dog is Pooch and the cat is Moon. Maybe not the most unique names out there, but the kids sure are and that’s the important thing, not a name.

Live Science has an interesting article on baby names worth checking out at: Baby Names.

Google Moms

I just came across this ‘tribute to our moms‘ page Google created to honor some of the moms of their staff. Very nice of them. I suppose we can call them Google Moms?

I want to know if Google is employing child laborers. The children of these women can’t be out of high school yet!

Just a few of the moms out of a bunch. Check it out at www.google.com/moms

Thingamakid

Matt and Krystal are parents and they’ve teamed up on a great site for kids named ‘Thingamakid‘.

Thingamakid offers a Kids Club where your kids can find great kids games, activities, card games, coloring sheets and other fun activities. They also offer a Kids Media Room where you and your children can preview cartoons, fun music both for kids and the whole family. While you’re there check into their parent resources section as well.

They’ve put together an easy on the eyes, kid and family-friendly site, that is well worth a visit and bookmarking.

Great site Matt and Krystal!

Why Buy Heartmade

Want to buy that perfect gift that’ll make you feel good all the way around? Then consider buying “heartmade” (i.e. handmade) goods from a work at home mom.

Why buy handmade you ask? You’ll enjoy supporting a fellow citizen with a name and perhaps a family of their own more then supporting WalMart or some other corporation. You’ll be giving a unique gift to a unique individual made be an equally unique person. How unique is that? And finally you’ll be taxing our environment far less then if you had purchased something made in China and distributed through a myriad of middlemen before it ever reaches you.

Why buy handmade video

In 2 months around the Christmas season the site collected over 10,000 pledges to buy handmade. Seems like the ideal timing to give a shout out for small craftspeople and artisans. Buy handmade.
