Holding Pattern

Wow! I was listed #4 on the “30 Best College Mom Blogs,” and I haven’t posted forever. Ha! I didn’t know I was a college mom blog. Whatever. Why haven’t I posted. We’re in a holding pattern, and I’m seriously working on the book I told you about earlier. At the current rate the book will [...]

There are days I think…

that my job sucks. Not so much… Seriously? It’s that full?

Tell the FDA: Label My Food!

Are you concerned about genetically engineered (GE) foods? Do you believe we have the right to know what’s in our food? Currently there are no laws requiring labeling of genetically modified foods. CLICK HERE to sign a petition to urge the FDA to require that all foods made with GE products be labeled. We have [...]

Puberty in Second Grade?

I’m on the BPA rant, again. Academy of Pediatrics found that one in ten girls start to develop breasts at the age of seven, with even higher rates in some communities. One of the reasons for this frightening increase in early puberty? Exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals like BPA in everyday items. CLICK HERE to [...]

I Have Your Back

Life is wonderful… and harrowing all in the same breath. When something hurts one of my children, I physically feel the sting. I question what is the best way to handle it. Will they learn and grow from the positives as well as the negatives? I want what every parent wants… Then I begin to [...]

Death and Social Media

I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to write a condolence on someone’s Facebook wall. It seems so impersonal. Shouldn’t death be treated with honor and privacy? Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc. in my view have changed the world for the better. Yes there are a few hoaxes, for example, ‘Gay Girl In Damascus,’ but what [...]

I Never Got My Summer Feet

Tomorrow marks the official end of summer in our home because school starts. I am now the proud mother of a high school junior, high school freshman, and junior high 7th grader. All 3 kids will be exiting the back door to walk half a block to enter their respective schools. I will be donning [...]

All-American Family

Yes, we are an All-American Family. Doesn’t every family spend a Saturday evening at the area dirt-track for Stock Car Racing? Oh, but wait. Before we went to the track, my youngest shot some sort of big gun of my dads. I can’t remember the name or numbers. I do remember they said it takes [...]

I’m Going to Women Create Media & BlogHer

I’m hitting the road (air) for San Diego to attend 2 conferences. The first is a small conference, Women Create Media, to empower writers in the digital age. I have never considered myself a writer. Okay, I’m really going to stalk blogger idols. Jessica Gottlieb for one. On Friday and Saturday, I’m attending BlogHer. I [...]

It’s a Bad Dream, Right?

I haven’t wanted/been able to blog for the last few weeks for 2 reasons. First, I’ve been too busy finishing up some pro-bono design work, and second, I want this reason to go away. If I close my eyes, it never happened, right? When I was a kid and wrecked my uncle’s minibike I thought [...]
