Baby Sideburns is my spirit animal. Karen Alpert, mom of 2, fills her funny mom blog with hysterical anecdotes that celebrate parenthood's messy, ridiculous, and wonderful moments. Her blog (and her perspective) is refreshing and real, and her experiences in raising compassionate and confident kids are particularly poignant. Expect a healthy dose of profanity, vulgarity, and unapologetic Caillou-bashing.

Follow Baby Sideburns on Facebook, where she shares some of her funniest stuff. Karen has also written a few hilarious books.
