Blogging since: September 2008

Number of followers today: 300

Average number of ppm (posts per month): 15-20

What the Blog is about:
How to do justice to the Surferwife? First, to steal her self-description: "I call myself a Surferwife because I am the wife of a surfer. I do NOT surf. It's cold and wet, people." Her demonstrably biting wit is woven through all of her posts. She is kind enough to regularly regale her readers with her true celebrity encounters. When she's not dazzling you with her star-studded life, she's warm, funny and uber-cool at all times. Stop by for a visit, you won't leave dissatisifed. And you just might leave covered in fairy dust.

She's a mommy of 4 children ages 9 and under. She says: "In real life, I am a stay-at-home mom who has mad skills with laundry stain removal. I also make a mean chicken soup. In my spare time, I trip over Legos and watch Yo Gabba Gabba. I try not to take myself too seriously, and I consider myself to be a recovering perfectionist. Perfection is for people without messy children. Whether I am cleaning up vomit, or taking my kids on an adventure to the zoo, I love my life." It's a mommy blog, and is full of humorous, tender and great stories about her kids and life. It's a great, relaxing read.

The Life and Times of Malady

Name of Blog: The Life and Times of Malady

Name of Blogger: Kirsten

Blogging since: August 2007

Number of followers today: 118

Average number of ppm (posts per month): 5

What the Blog is about: I don't know any other bloggers who are doing what Kirsten does.  This is not a blog, it's a "blogtoon."  Each post is a cartoon that illustrates the hilarity and pathos of motherhood and being a licensed massage therapist.   A post called "Geography" features a map of the United States.  An arrow on Portland denotes, "exhausted mom, over-worked dad, sick kid."  Arrows pointing to New Jersey and Florida indicate "free babysitting."  Posts are well drawn in a straight-forward style, with great use of color.  The writing is always on par with the art.  The Life and Times of Malady is the perfect intersection of artistic talent, humor and language.

Does the author respond to comments? Occasionally.
