[quote=Anonymous]As I recover (slowly, with the help of therapy) from a raging case of PPD, and am adjusting to life with two very small children, I find myself searching for some wisdom from those who have been down this path (or a similar one). My friends are great, but none of them had PPD or kids as close together as mine, and while I love talking to them, it's not quite scratching this itch.

Does anyone have any blogs about motherhood that they like? Not parenting advice, more life advice/reflections on motherhood and balance and keeping in touch with yourself.

It's such a hard balance to walk - I'm looking for someone who has struggled and is honest about it. None of that "gosh, motherhood is so messy!" while showing an instagram-perfect kitchen with one small spill and a perfectly dressed kid with a crooked hat and an exaggerated pouty face. No one who says "you got this, mama!" (Ugh I don't know why I hate that phrase so much but I do. I am not your mama!) Maybe someone who doesn't define their whole self through motherhood, more of a "I'm a person, and this is freaking hard" kinda vibe? Major bonus points if they dealt with PPD and are honest about it.

I dunno. That's pretty specific.

Suggestions?
