In Praise of Asha Dornfest

This week on Mommybloggers, we are delighted to introduce you to Asha Dornfest. Asha's writing can be found all over the internet, with essays on Mothers Movement Online, Hip Mama, Literary Mama, Mamazine and more. Her talent for spinning gold from her observations on motherhood is truly a gift. Always articulate, Asha never fails to give readers food for thought.

Asha is also the founder and editor of the collaborative blog, Parent Hacks. Asha engages her readers, and invites them to share. We love the spirit and passion that Asha brings to her writing, whether she's giving helpful tips on managing crayons or analyzing some of the serious issues facing mothers, both online and off.

We absolutely adore Asha, and we were thrilled to get the chance to sit down with her and learn more about this talented writer. We asked a few of her readers to share their thoughts on Asha, and the praise brought a smile to our faces.

Stu Mark appreciates the level playing field that Asha has created:

Asha is righteous and redoubtable. Her support and encouragement make Parent Hacks a great place to hang out. As a Father/HomeMaker, it is difficult to find a place in the Mommy world. Asha treats me like any other mommy, even if I am not equipped with a vagina. Right on!

Mir is just green with jealousy over the innovative ideas at Parent Hacks:

I love parent hacks enough to hate it a little for coming up with all sorts of brilliant things that I should have thought of (and would've, too, if it hadn't been for those meddling kids... or something). I just never know what I'm going to find there. Asha offers up the most fascinating and useful little gems with just enough commentary. But, God, if it turns out she's PRETTY, too? I'm gonna have to hate her. Just a little. I'm sorry.

Lucinda was happy to share her thoughts on Asha:

I really admire Asha for coming up with the idea for Parent Hacks. It is obvious from the site's popularity that parents are desperate for a definitive manual on childrearing. Perhaps Asha will write it some day... But I have to admit that my favorite writing by Asha can be found at Literary Mama. There she writes with eloquence and passion about the careful balance we "mommy bloggers" must maintain between writing for ourselves and respecting our children's and spouse's privacy. I wish more bloggers thought as carefully as Asha about how their writing might affect their family when it is read days, or even years, later.

Congratulations, Asha! You are totally deserving of this Mommybloggers lovefest!
