Don't agree that we're all Adam Lanza's mother. She was left responsible for a mentally ill boy (how very hard), but she took him to shooting ranges, left assault rifles out of a safe, and let him watch violent videos. I feel for her, but she certainly had poor judgement.

Hi Mother Writers,

I just joined this group and wanted to tell you about a retreat for memoir writers that I'm hosted (Keynote Speaker: Cheryl Strayed). There are several women either teaching at the retreat (Ariel Gore, Suzanne Finnamore, myself) or attending the retreat (Jen Singer of MommaSaid, Natalie Singer of ParentMap) who are known for their writing on motherhood. Please find the details here and message me if you have any questions:

Here's the scoop on the retreat: Hosted by author Theo Pauline Nestor, Wild Mountain Memoir Retreat (March 15-17, 2013 at Sleeping Lady Resort near Leavenworth, WA), will offer an opportunity for established and emerging memoirists to acquire new skills, build a writing community, and renew their vision as writers. The keynote speaker, Cheryl Strayed, author of the #1 New York Times Bestseller WILD, will talk about the need for memoirists to make meaning, take risks, and excavate the layers within their narratives. Candace Walsh, Suzanne Finnamore, Ariel Gore, EJ Levy, and Theo Pauline Nestor will teach ten different classes focusing on the craft of literary memoir writing, the genre’s ethical and logistical challenges, and strategies for overcoming memoir’s most common obstacles.

What do we tell our children about their safety at school? What do we tell ourselves?

Hard for even a non-mixed family to face the Christmas question. Christmas is so much more inviting to children. "Why doesn't Santa bring our Chanukah gifts?"

Here's how this interfaith family handles this Santa question. http://ning.it/W95mWD

I'm a grandmother, a double mother, so to speak, seeing things from the mountaintop, or the valley on a bad day.
