Remember when Kevin make a body-centered comment to a girl he liked and didn’t understand why he got slapped in the face? Then he emailed me and asked for advice, which he brilliantly followed. Dating ensued. Ericka, the lovely girl he insulted, then made-good with and now respectfully dates, emailed me the below Thank You […]
I banned Nickelodeon myself about a month ago. I enjoyed iCarly, but they started playing less nice shows like Victorious, which seemed to be a bunch of mean girl “you’re not my friend” banter and I got sick of the attitude of Drake and Josh. Mainly, my kid watched them, had an attitude with me […]

Project girl is an organization that I co-founded with video producer Jane Bartell. Project Girl is a national girl led initiative that combines […]
I’ve noticed a trend in literature in the last few years: gratuitous rape scenes. Specifically gratuitous anal rape combined with demented torture. I find this trend disturbing and I’ve boycotted the authors. Not a sort of “I hate you now and I’ll never read you again,” boycott. More of a “I don’t trust you now […]

Ainsley is finishing up the 2nd grade. She scored the most reading points in her class. When she finished the highest reading goal in early May, she spent the remainder of the time helping her friends reach the same goal. The four students who made the goal had a special lunch with their teacher. We […]
I have a confession to make. . . I think I’m beautiful. Because I am. I honestly can’t comprehend why women hate their bodies, their faces, their hair, their boobs, the minuscule details that they pick apart in the mirror. I’ve tried to get it. But, I don’t. Maybe that’s a good thing. I think […]
Ainsley wants to dye her hair blond. Because it’s pretty. “I wish I had blond hair like Zack,” she said. “Well, anyone can have blond hair,” I said. “Or red, pink, brown, black. Any color really. No one is married to their natural hair color anymore.” Personally, I think hair color is a wonderful technological […]
Moving has knocked me off-kilter. Or something has anyway. I go to meetings and people says, “You look sad.” I kindof am sad. But, I can’t articulate why. My kids ask me, “Are you mad at me?” I kindof am mad. But, I can’t articulate why. I don’t know where I’ve misplaced my oomph, my […]
I half suspect Mother’s Day comes just in time every year. In the weeks before, I feel like my children are pecking me to weariness. In the nick of time, my husband says, “don’t bother Mom, it’s Mother’s Day.” I lay in my bed without even the energy to summon up a phone number for […]
Jeremy and I are going to Colorado again. To choose color schemes for our new house. We get to go to a design center and say, “yes, I’d like that color,” and “no, that carpet shag won’t do.” A new way to change my life of sorts. It’s going to be fun. Dear God please […]
My husband was just informed by a police officer that he would call child protective services on us. He gave us a warning, this time. Our crime? We let him ride his bike outside in front of our house. In a residential neighborhood with dead-end streets. Is it actually illegal to let a kid ride […]
