There are a couple of great new humor websites highlighting women writers that have recently come to my attention. The first is the very entertaining Mypheme. The second is the wonderful PR Graffiti. Be sure to take a look!

Also, we’re giving away a really, really nice diaper bag at Mouthy Housewives this week. Almost makes me want to have another baby. Almost.
