Super Cool GiveForward Blog Award Winner: Mommy Wants Vodka

I will publicly admit here that I am not a “kids person.” I think children are cute. I think they’re cuter when I can hand them back to someone when they need a diaper changed or are covered in whatever they were supposed to be ingesting for lunch. As such, I tend to not be too fond of parenting blogs as they tend to dote on their children, strollers, placentas, etc. “Aunt” Becky of Mommy Wants Vodka-fame is the exception. If the title of her blog wasn’t enough to pique your interest, just read one post. You’ll be hooked.

She doesn’t write in a blind “my-children-can-do-no-wrong” daze (she affectionately has referred to her children as crotch parasites) AND her posts aren’t always about parenting or children at all. She clearly adores her children, however, as is evident by her unwavering support for March of Dimes. Being the mother of a daughter who survived a neural tube defect, she understands the pain birth defects can cause and how lucky she is to have a child survive one. You can read her post on why she’s a March of Dimes mothers and tons of other ways to get involved here.

As such, Mommy Wants Vodka is this week’s recipient of the coveted GiveForward Totally Awesome Blog Award!

Word on her blog is she’s shopping around a book deal so hopefully we’ll see some Mommy Wants Vodka in print some day soon! Congrats, Becky!
