via MittRomney.com Mitt Romney is the front runner for the Republican nomination for president in the 2012 elections, by many accounts. That is, if some Christian pastors don’t convince their congregations that it’s unacceptable to vote for a Mormon and persist in perpetuating fictions about the Mormon faith. I, personally, know quite a bit about […]
I’ve noticed a new trend younger and younger kids are on Facebook and they are trying to Friend me. At times these kids are as young as 8 and they are usually kids of my friends or relatives or friends of Ainsley’s. I don’t Friend kids and I think all adults should strongly […]
The Internet is inundated with criticism about media’s responsibility for girls and women’s body image these days. With the proposed Self Esteem Act, which demands responsibility of both government and media, and well-meaning, do-gooding, activist, pro-girl and pro-woman websites and non-profit organizations sprouting up like spring flowers all over the web. I have to say […]
Time Magazine has an article about the money sucking, drastically bad investment that many college degrees are becoming in this country and it’s making me rethink my attitude about my kids getting a college education. Our parental attitude is this: GET A COLLEGE DEGREE!!!!! Debt Burden My student loans are our biggest debt burden. I owe […]
With Ainsley testing above her grade level, I’ve been encouraging (insisting and pressuring) her to read above her grade, so that she continues to improve and doesn’t get lazy. So, I printed a sixth-grade Accelerated Reading list and we took it to the library. Dracula by Bram Stoker was on the list. I was surprised, […]
If you’re a regular here, you know I spent the summer battling depression and anxiety. Beating down old demons and wrestling dragons from my past that would creep up on me in unexpected ways. And learning to let go. It was excruciating. Here’s that post if you’re interested. When I was done with that […]
This is not real beauty. The photographs you see in magazines, on television, on the Internet and on billboards have been Photoshopped and touched up. The real people in them don’t look like this at all. All of their flaws have been removed to project an illusion of perfection. They are not perfect. It’s fake. […]
It’s that time of year again. Republicans have introduced a bill that will ban federal funding for abortion procedures and Democrats have gotten all up-in-arms because this will put funding for birth control at risk because they have threatened to cut off all funding to Planned Parenthood, a non-profit organization which supplies millions of women […]
I have lowered the price on Love Distortion: Belle, Battered Codependent and Other Love Stories. My intention with this book is to help parents understand the way the culture sets girls up for victimization, coercion and manipulation by distorting what love is. Some of the messages are subtle and some are overt. My intention is […]

I figured […]
Time Magazine has an article, Playing Favorites: Why Mom Likes You (Or One of Your Siblings) Best, which proves what everyone who has a sibling and a parent has known since Cain and Able – that there is a favorite child. They have even gone as far as finding evolutionary evidence as to why […]
“Half the 4th Grade girls have boobs and wear bras,” Ainsley reported. “Really? Like, for real?” I asked, stunned because no one had boobs until like the 7th Grade when I was in school. “Like they really need bras?” “Yeah.” “Well, give me five!” I said, holding my hand out. “Why would I give you […]
