At iVillage we’re passionate about supporting Australian bloggers. That’s why we’ve created iBlog Friday.
It’s a chance for bloggers to introduce their favourite post of the week to iVillage readers and for our community to read what Aussie writers are up to.
Here are the bloggers who have sent their submissions this week. Happy reading!
Jane Alexander of Little Miss Mummy releases herself from the pressure of perfect parenting in her post Bad Mummy.
Supermum, super woman, ultimate modern woman (yes, someone called me that recently; I nearly vomited in my mouth). These titles make me bat shit crazy!
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A SUPER MUM!!!
Seriously! While some Mum’s can make it look effortless, trust me, there is no such thing as ‘no effort’ when there are kids involved. And those who purposely try and make it seem like it is easy and effortless to be a perky little Stepford Wife when it’s all a total act have a lot to answer to.

Kathryn Boyde of Katzrambles is surrounded by runners everywhere she turns and writes about how much it freaks her out, in her post Is this the new drug?
Everywhere I look, everybody’s at it; The blonde-haired beach babes, with their Barbie-doll-like bodies, prancing along the pavement; the super fit mummies, pushing their sports-model prams, treating their toned thighs to a trot and the men with their muscular torsos sprinting along the sand while casually chatting to their buddies beside them. And then …..There’s me. I’m the red-faced one, choking on her own breath while urging her feet to lift themselves a wee bit higher so she doesn’t face plant the concrete. Yes, it’s a good look for me, I know!

Bianca Slade of Wholefood Simply talks about how parenting forced her to learn how to share in her post Paleo Raisin Bread.
I have a few quirks; I like routine, I like to sit in the same chair at dinner time and the same spot on the couch, I am not enthusiastic about sharing my meals and I especially like sleeping in a dark, silent room with plenty of personal space. My husband and daughter accept this, they leave me be, things were coasting along quite nicely.
