The Time Magazine cover with MomsLA contributor Jamie Lynn Grumet nursing her 3-year-old has caused quite a media firestorm.

I tweet daily. Sometimes hourly. Sometimes many times in an hour. I tweet about my day, my son, what I’m eating, my mood, the weather, what movie I am seeing… I even tweet pictures from my Instagram feed.

So, isn’t it? image via Flickr Monday a New York judge ruled against an attempted quash …

I’m the naked lady L.A. mom blogger. I never intended to be the naked lady, but one post on my blog about body image called Am I Really Fat? and a series was born. I’d taken nudes in my 20s to help with a mild case of Body Dysmorphic Disorder and decided 20 years, 20 pounds and 2 kids later to have my nudes taken again in the hopes they would help me accept the changes time brings.

Karilyn Bales, the wife of the soldier accused of killing 16 Afghan civilians, most of whom were women and children, had a blog. It seems like the least significant piece of information in a truly tragic story.

Why is it significant that Karilyn …
