Check me out at a fun site I recently discovered, Burbia.com (”living life on the edge…on the patio”). In my article, I write about why I moved to the suburbs many moons ago…and why I left.
Elsewhere on the Innanets, over at Anti-Racist Parenting, you can find me sharing a not-so-stellar parenting moment.
Read…comment…spread the word!
Toot-toot!
Today, my ex-husband and I launched CoParenting101.org, a resource/site/blog for folks like us who are striving to parent together in the wake of divorce. Neither of us is able to devote much time to it at this very moment, but we’ve got big plans, I tell ya. Check it out, spread the word, give us […]
My latest column is up over at AntiRacist Parent. And kudos to new ARP editor, Tami!
…actually it’s me bitching about mommy memoirs. In case you couldn’t find the print version:
“Ain’t I a Mommy?” by Moi
Multi-tasking stats: While composing this mini-entry, I counted down the hours until I see TechBoo; listened to my stomach growl; and realized that I forgot to mail my grandfather the Father’s Day card I got for […]

How flattered am I that Amy Jussel at ShapingYouth.org decided to cross-post my AntiRacistParent column (Breaking the Color Code and Princess Power)?
ShapingYouth is a forum about media and marketing’s influence on kids, and is chock-full of great resources for parents and anyone interested in kids and consumer culture. Another such site is ParentsForEthicalMarketing.org/Corporate Babysitter. […]
My latest column, The Princess Problem: “There’s More Than One Way of Being Pretty”, is up over at AntiRacistParent. Toot-toot.
Growing up, I was one of those girls who hated gym class. One of those girls who the boys never wanted on their team during games because my fellow gym-haters and I would stand around gossiping, determined not to break a sweat in 90-plus degree Florida heat, reciting the words to “The Real Roxanne” […]
Good news…I got into VONA!
Bad news…I was accepted for a different week and a different class than I requested. So I’m passing. Maybe next year…
Good news…We got all the planting done!
Bad news…The same little girls who have asked me daily for the past month, “Are we gardening TODAY???” pretty much bailed after an […]
The piece of writing that I’m most proud of has made its way into the world. It’s an article for Wondertime about what it meant to me to have my grandmother raise me (along with my mother). I will provide the link to the online version below, but promise me you’ll pick up the print […]
