Carnival of Raising Boys ~ May 1st Edition
Welcome to the May 1, 2010 edition of Carnival of Raising Boys
Doug Boude presents My Top 20 Life Lessons for Husbands and Fathers posted at Doug Boude (rhymes with ‘loud’)
Doug has compiled what he considers to be the top 20 things that he believes, when implemented and adopted, maximize the success of a husband and/or father in his role in his household. Being a father of 8 children, 4 step children, and 2 grand children, he kinda feels like he’s speaking from experience. Doug view his role as a dad to be of vital importance in their rearing. :)
Stacy Farrell presents The Woman Among Boys posted at My Perspective.
In her latest post, she relays the joys of being the only female in a houseful of men. If given the choice, she (like me) is much happier doing boy stuff than girl stuff. It takes a special kind of mom to feel this way!
Jude Mulhern presents The Boys Are Back In Town posted at Dish It Up.
She is was empty-nester complete with picture perfect home and food in the fridge … until this week!
Saraline Grenier presents Spinning things posted at Feminist Mom in Montreal
Saraline discusses her son’s fascination with wheels and parallels that with how girls like to play with wheels, also (wheels are not just for boys).
Tiffany Washko presents Natural Play for Teaching Science posted at Natural Family Living Blog
Tiffany does a great job of describing how to instill the love for nature and all things science in her blog entries. Get something to drink – you’ll be there for a while!

Carnival of Raising Boys – January 11, 2010
Welcome to the January 11, 2010 edition of Carnival of Raising Boys!
Raising boys is no easy feat. Chances are, they’re not content with playing quietly with their toys – rather, they’re more prone to “tearing it up” throughout the house. It is the nature of boys. They are inquisitive, sometimes rowdy, and infinitely active creatures.
So how do we keep them busy during these unusually frigid, dark days of winter? We bring winter them them, of course! Shannon Dodds describes how she kept her boys busy and happy while learning a bit about science on a cold day in Snow Day! posted at Mommyapolis.
And sometimes, that creativity that we want to our boys to develop into something useful, takes off into unexpected, and sometimes disturbing directions. If we’re not careful, this brand of creativity will follow them into manhood when it’s not so cute anymore! Pamela Jorrick presents Boxing Day / Week / Month (or How Long Is it Gonna Take Me to Clear All This Junk Outta Here?) posted at Blah, Blah, Blog. Pamela shares her adventures in cleaning up her son’s room and finding all those creative little projects that have multiplied like Gremlins sprinkled with water!
And then there are times, when no matter how creative we can hope to inspire our boys to be, they are just not going to have any part of it — insisting instead on their own brand of creativity. They test our patience and rock our mommy-selves to the very core of our beings. There are days, and I know we’ve all had them, that the boys’ antics are so ridiculous, we feel like they have been replaced with some alien beings from another planet. Stormy Hickman shares one of those days in a post titled, Boys over at Not just a weather report….
It’s at those very moments, when we are comforted in knowing that this too shall pass. They can be sweet, generous, loving and hysterically funny creatures. I know my boys have cracked me up with some of the things they come up with. So, just when you’re about to blow your top, stop … count to ten … breathe deeply … and read Swagat’s Kids will be Kids… posted at Its all in here. Then LOL at the darnedest things things kids say.
