You may have noticed that we haven't featured a Southern Living Mama Blogger of The Week lately. That's because we're cooking up big things at Southern Living that you will soon hear more about.

We continue to be impressed by all the great Southern blogs out there. Like this one ...

This week's Southern Living Mama Blogger of the Week comes to us from the fair state of Mississippi:

Mommy Cracked. It's written by Mandy, mom to a four-year old son and former teacher and librarian. She writes:

"I started Mommy Cracked in October 2007 as a creative outlet while being a stay at home mom. I had no idea what I was doing but have quickly learned that blogging is a great way to connect with like-minded others, offers me an opportunity to write (which I love doing), and also serves as an online diary of sorts about my life, memories, and experiences."

Two of her recent posts caught our attention:

Six Tools To Relive Your Child's Back To School Itis, with tips on helping your child relieve school fears (like teaching him or her how to breathe deeply for calm and concentration).

Another great post is Baby Safe Travel, which reviews a website by the same name that features hotel reviews by parents based on kid-friendliness and safety. 

Keep up the good work Mandy!

Also, please check out fellow Southern Living Mama Blogger of the Week Megan's moving post to mark the four year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and her family's survival. 

As for us, stay tuned for big news in the coming weeks.

And please let us know if there are Southern mama bloggers we should be reading!
