Blogs by business-owning parents?

Can you recommend well-written blogs/sites of parents who run their own businesses?
There are a TON of results on Google and I just can't sift through them all, so I thought I'd ask here. Blogs by parents who have very young children are great and ones that have very young children AND a full-time day job while trying to start their own business up would be excellent.
Of course, I am asking because this is the boat I've currently placed myself in and I'd love to read about the experiences of others. I feel like a lot of what I've read has skimmed over some of the nitty gritty of daily life. Like, one thing talked about how this woman started her business while she had kids and then I find later that the "kids" were teenagers, which is a whole different situation from having a toddler.
Also, stuff where the mother runs her business while being fully and comfortably supported by the husband's job are not really what I'm looking for.
And if anyone here has done this, I'd love to hear any advice you have.

Response by poster: Yeah, not so much dooce. I almost put that in the original question.
I think the problem is that people who have toddlers, a full-time job, and a fledgling business of their own have no time to fritter away writing about it all.
I'm not looking for it to be about anything specific. I'm just imagining that there HAS to be at least one other person out there who has juggled all of this and found a little time to write and was still alive at the end.

Response by poster: Yes - Sweet Fine Day is exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for.

Maybe Anna Maria Horner? She's a textile designer with six kids ranging from one to 18 years old.
