Wealth, The Mommy Wars, Some Family History, and the Nature of Parental Stress

My granny is the little girl on the right Part of The Mom Pledge reads, "I want to see moms work together to build one another up, not tear each other down. Words can be used as weapons. I will not engage in that behavior."Words like "Mommy Wars," words combined into 140 characters that set whole…See More

Marijuana as Medicine and Illegal Parenting

What feels like an extremely long time ago, I wrote a post about women's health issues and marijuana.I didn't write that post because I'm some sort of enormous pot head.  I didn't write it because I had been looking for an excuse to be stoned my whole pregnancy with the girls.  I wrote it because the information I found about cannabis as medicine was utterly fascinating.  And learning all about something…See More

I'm nominating myself.



Why?  Why would I do that?



Because I'm freakin' awesome, that's why.  Because I have weeks like THIS week, and instead of eating the whole box of…

In Honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Posted on April 7, 2011 at 7:51am 1 Comment

At thirteen, I found myself one evening marching in a "Take Back the Night" rally, megaphone in hand and leading a horde of chanting women through the University of Michigan campus.





I've been thinking about that experience a lot the past few days.





This is an unsafe world.  There are so many dangers we can protect ourselves from, and so many we can protect our children from, but not all.  Not nearly all.
