Who are your favorite parent-bloggers/mommy-bloggers on Twitter?

I'm looking to expand my Twitter feed to include more parent-bloggers. I'm interested in intelligent discussion, not product-hawking, from real people. So the Motherlode blog/Twitter feed from the NY Times is okay, but not exactly right because it's just…too big, and not really a conversation.
I've seen this post, and will look at those blogs, but I'm specifically interested in Twitter feeds.
That's about it. Who are your favorites? Who's writing cogently about parenting issues (probably U.S. centered, but international okay too)?

Best answer: People I follow on Feedly in my Family tab:
Age of Uncertainty, Rage Against the Minivan, Five Kids is a Lot of Kids, Love Isn't Enough, Plinth, The Common Room, Parenting Science and Fosterhood in NYC.

Best answer: I also recommend the podcast One Bad Mother (at least, if you like ideas and sympathy intermixed with drinking and bitterness), although they don't have a particularly active Twitter feed.

Best answer: She doesn't update any more (well, maybe once every 6 months or so) but if reading archives is OK then Julie (a little pregnant) is awesome and hilarious. The first part of her blog is dealing with issues with getting pregnant and pregnancy complications, but I particularly love her posts about parenthood.

Best answer: Well, this probably isn't exactly what you're looking for... but I really like Honest Toddler. Which I assume is written by a parent.

Best answer: My current favorites include hsofia who unschools in the Seattle area, lyzl who is a SAHM who writes while the kids sleep in Iowa - funny but intelligent stuff, NotPrunes who also unschools and just moved to Indiana, and 1Dad1Kid who travels the world with his son.
I skew more to the real-life centered Twitters than the topic-centered Twitters, so keep that in mind.
