Babble isn't alone in celebrating the woman behind CityMama; Forbes recently rated Stefania Pomponi Butler one of their one Top Ten Mommy 'Hood Gurus. Pomponi describes herself as a radical, political, local-food-sourcing, mostly organic, cooking-from-scratch, full-time working parent. In her words, "Cooking well for my family is a political act, dammit!"
Mommy bloggers like Pomponi, whose devotion to their special passions have not diminished but rather grown with the advent of children, deserve our recognition. There's no room for indifference in the top 50 mommy bloggers, so even if City Mama strikes you as slightly shrill in her call to take your kids to a u-pick farm, at least you know where she stands. Lest we overstate her political presence (some of which has leaked over from her other site MOMocrats, a progressive politics mom-gathering spot of which she is the founder), her menu plans will get you craving and planning delicious family sit-downs.
