Blogging Limits

For a serious post for a good cause, please go check out Pundit Mom's blog post. For every comment, she's donating a dollar to the Capital Area Food Bank in honor of Blog Action Day.

I have to say that I feel like a wimp these days. The election is coming up in a few short weeks, and I have yet to write a post about it. Next month we will vote for a new president, but the half dozen posts in my mind are about motherhood, workmen and preschool and yes in that order. Motherhood in the abstract vs. the workmen getting the days mixed up vs. parent-teacher conferences. I've read a lot of really great posts about the election. Check out Jen at A2eatwrite who provides non-partisan links on info about both candidates as well as info on registering to vote. I've also had a number of really great political discussions with friends. In fact the book club I hosted last week focused less on the book and more on the election. I have to admit that I was surprised because we normally don't discuss politics at book club, but it was a really great conversation.

I enjoy hearing different points of view. Yesterday I had a good conversation with someone who is unsure of which candidate she will ultimately support. She explained what she felt were the pros and cons of both candidates. I felt like I was truly having an intelligent conversation where different thoughts and ideas were exchanged. Even though I didn't agree with everything she said, there were no hard feelings. I truly enjoyed hearing what she had to say.

So what can I say if I'm not going to write a political post?

A. Elliot's Lesson Learned: I would encourage you all to read up on the candidates and of course to vote.

    I've decided to try to steer clear of politics on my blog! I will, of course, vote.

    I haven't written whole posts about my political opinions, but I think it's clear by the Obama widget on my blog who I'm voting for. It saves me from having to write about it I guess.

For those of us who didn't get an instruction manual with our babies and for whom parenting hasn't always gone as planned. On a more serious note this blog is about supporting a woman's ability to make her own choices about parenting including the choice, for whatever reason, to bottle feed her babies formula.
