The Village Stream contains several excellent posts on Autism as the blogger supported autism awareness month.  There are several other posts on parenting, baby products, toys, and a number of other subjects parent should be aware of.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://joyntheir.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/villagestream.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-30 aligncenter" title="villagestream" src="http://joyntheir.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/villagestream.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="283" /></a></p>
<p>I suggest you add this blog to your reading list as one that has good useful content and is well written.  New (first time) parents should definitely read all of the posts.  And, as a bonus, there are numerous links to other blogs with further information on the subjects she writes about.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">See you at <em><strong><a title="http://www.hiddenstreamsproductions.com/thevillagestream/" href="http://www.hiddenstreamsproductions.com/thevillagestream/" class="broken_link"  target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.hiddenstreamsproductions.com/thevillagestream/?referer=');">The Village Stream</a></strong></em>.</p>

The review which was published here yesterday is on her original blog Moomettesgram&#8217;s Musings Blog.</p>
<p><a href="http://joyntheir.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/m-mentor-blog.jpg"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-27" title="m-mentor-blog" src="http://joyntheir.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/m-mentor-blog.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="380" /></p>
<p>Moomette&#8217;s Gram explains her new blog this way:  &#8220;My primary reason for establishing Mama Mentor is that I&#8217;ve grown to enjoy blogging. Having joined <a href="http://entrecard.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/entrecard.com/?referer=');">Entrecard </a>and <a href="http://www.themomblogs.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.themomblogs.com/?referer=');">Mom Blogs</a> has pointed me in the direction of many, many wonderful blogs that focus primarily on reflections and general family life!&#8221;</p>
<p>Clearly this wonderful woman has been caught in the trap many of us have &#8211;  the Blog Addiction (and isn&#8217;t it fun).  If  you ask this new gram (grand-daughter is 18 mos)  why she felt the need to start another blog, she will reply  &#8220;Now that my family is grown, and growing again, there&#8217;s so much I&#8217;d like to reflect on personally, and Mama Mentor will be that vehicle!&#8221;</p>
<p>As with her previous blog, which she will continue to maintain, Moomette&#8217;s Gram writes in such a delightful way that you feel you are across the table drinking hot tea or coffee with her in her kitchen, or like you are on the phone with a dear friend.</p>
<p>Take a minute to peruse her blog <a title="http://mamamentor.blogspot.com/" href="http://mamamentor.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/mamamentor.blogspot.com/?referer=');">Moomette&#8217;s Mama Mentor Blog</a>.  In fact, subscribe to it.  It promises to be one you will not want to miss a post.</p>
