Delia Lloyd may be a mom, but she knows she's still navigating adulthood. Thank goodness she has her kids to help her, and she writes about it at the Real Delia, so we can grow up with them.

In honor of Mother's Day, Delia shares what it's like to talk about tough topics like evil and hate with your kids:

My daughter came home from school yesterday and told me that her best friend had a “hate list.”

Sarah Chang is a mom trying to navigate the mean streets of Manhattan with a stroller. She writes about raising a bi-cultural daughter at The Stroller Ballet. 

To help us celebrate Mother's Day, Sarah has shared the scary pediatrician edict that hit her right in the guts:

Overweight.

It’s a word I never imagined could be used to describe my 3-year-old. I thought -- and still think -- of Peanut as “fine”. She’s small, but solid. Without so much as the suggestion of a belly. She’s active -- she’ll walk up to 1 mile without complaint. 

Sili is the chief executive mami to a little girl she calls the frog princess. And she still finds time to write about life, liberty, and the pursuit of Maminess on her blog My Mamihood!

To help us celebrate Mother's Day, she's shared her "user manual for life." Here are all 21 bits of advice for her little girl and little girls around the world:

I have so much that I want to share with you. So much that I want to make sure I tell you. But I know that as time goes by, it doesn’t matter what I say to you. You will record what you see, what you feel. This blog started off as a way for me to document My Mamihood and you are the sole reason for that. I pray I am able to show you the nuances of life, but just in case that doesn't happen, I plan on leaving a user's manual.

Ilina Ewen isn't a mom who pulls punches. This "left-leaning" mother of two lets it all out over on her blog Dirt & Noise, and we love her all the more for it.

She's helping us celebrate Mother's Day the way she always does: with no-holds-barred truth about how she came to be a mom.

I never wanted to be a mother.

As a girl, my imaginative play never included weddings, babies, or boyfriends. I used to line up my collection of dolls from around the world and stage my very own lilliputian Miss Universe Pageant.

Susan Wagner is a mom who believes workout clothes are for working out and “casual Friday” will be the downfall of Western civilization. In other words? She doesn't dress like one of "those moms." And she helps the rest of us avoid the mom jeans trap with her writings on her blog The Working Closet.

She's here to help us celebrate Mother's Day with a look at the day she gave up the big bag full of her kids' stuff and her own:

I’ve always been a big bag kind of girl; even before I had kids, I hauled around a gigantic handbag full of I don’t know what. It was all super important, though, and I needed all of it with me all of the time.

I’m over that.

Shannon Des Roches Rosa goes by Squid Rosenberg in the interwebs, where she writes about being a mom to three -- including Leo, who has autism. Her blog, Squidalicious, is equal parts hilarious and heartwarming. We love her so much, we know you will too.

To help us celebrate Mother's Day, here is one of her magical mom moments: when her son on the spectrum was just like everyone else's kid playing in the local park:

Leo has socializing opportunities aplenty -- around town, with all the people and kids who come to visit and swim and cook with us, during excursions. But those interactions are all heavily managed, to help him avoid sensory overstimulation, and so he won't pull a frustrated HULK SMASH on me, his sisters, or unsuspecting passersby. It breaks my heart to write this, but: he is not a free-range boy, not in scenarios where other children are running wild. It's too risky.

Tina Seitzinger never pictured herself being a mom who'd be trying to survive in a "testosterone-filled" world, but she is! And she writes for all the moms who know what it's like to be the only one with estrogen in their household at her blog Life Without Pink.

We love the way she makes being a mom in an all-male world work, and here, in honor of Mother's Day, we present Tina's memory of the moment when she realized she would be parenting two boys ... and no girl:

As far back as I can remember, I always envisioned myself having a daughter one day. I guess I never thought that it was possible that I might never have one.

When I was pregnant the first time, my hubby and I knew it was a boy from day one. Even though we never found out the sex ahead of time, we always referred to the baby growing inside of me as “him”. I loved the fact of having a boy first, to protect the daughter I would have one day.

Mother's Day is often that special time of year where you get a little card and some extra hugs, but no matter how hard we wish it all away all the grunt work is still there. Sometimes, even, the dishes may seem a little dirtier; the little ones, a wee bit brattier. Maybe the kids still want to play their videogames and ignore you and yet you still have to cook dinner and pick up the seemingly never-ending trail of Cheerios carelessly dropped all over the kitchen floor.

Not this year, mamas. What if we went on strike? Said screw it? These moms in this video did. I'm not cooking! I'm not cleaning! I'm going to blow up the washing machine! I'm done. I quit. I'm going on strike today. All sung to the tune of "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twister Sister. Check it out.
