They used to call us soccer moms, which was fine with me, because hanging outdoors on gorgeous fall Saturdays and chatting with other parents and hearing the latest gossip while our kids run around is my idea of fun. However, for those moms who cringed at the title, never fear, we still apparently are a swing group that decides elections. We're back to being called our demographically descriptive name: married mothers with children. AKA soccer moms. AKA security moms. AKA anything they've tried to call us in the past. We've outsmarted them, it seems. There go the metaphors. Out the window.
Here's a report, pre-election, from
Muckraking Mom, a blog with a tagline to love: Because Muck doesn't scare Moms.
Muckraking Mom's a relatively new blog, it looks like she launched this summer, so I'm welcoming her to our blogroll here at Everyday Mom.
