Kids love reading. At least my kids do. Here’s a handy little parenting tip you can try to make them simply adore it: 2 bedtimes. The first one, the kids get ready for bed – brush teeth, pajamas, drink, yada, yada. We do it at 7:30, pick the time that works for your family. Once […]
The idea of being aligned with what I truly want is coming up for me a lot lately. Even among my circle of close friends it’s appearing. Teaching me. Teaching us. People think they know what they want. But, most of the time, with further inquiry they’ve somehow convinced themselves that they can’t have it. […]
Mike Males and Chelsea Lynd have written a piece in The New York Times Op-Ed section, The Myth of Mean Girls which has brilliant news for parents of girls. Girls are being bullied. But not by each other. Not by boys. Those numbers are down drastically. Those numbers are down, down, down to the lowest point […]
I just spent the weekend at Northern Colorado Writers Conference. I pitched The Girl Revolution book to an agent, Rachelle Garnder, a lovely woman with two daughters, at lunch. She invited me to send it in. I pitched to another editor, a genuinely nice man, Ben Barnhard from during the Pitch Sessionand I totally CRUSHED IT! It was so fun […]
I talk a lot about emotional osmosis, the idea that feelings are passed down from parent to child, which is how we inherit negative body image, abusive cycles in relationships and similar addictions to our family members.

The Health Care Reform Bill passed the United States Senate yesterday. This is a great day for girls and all other Americans. They will never lose their insurance. They can’t lose it if they “get” a pre-existing condition. They can’t lose it if their parents get laid off, if they marry the guy who gets […]
Teen girls aren’t as stupid as I thought. I know, this is a totally pro-girl website. That doesn’t meant I think girls are always the smartest. Sometimes especially when boys and men are involved girls can be quite stupid. Myself included. Hell, historically, myself mostly. I’ve been subbing at the high school and […]
Remember Kevin? He was our teenage friend who wanted to know why women didn’t like being called curvy. I suggested, in a nutshell, that maybe the girl wanted her self to be acknowledged before Kevin got all into her curvy bod. Click HERE if you don’t remember. Kevin took my advice and it worked out […]
There once was a weird looking lady. She had two heads, two arms and no legs. She had to roll everywhere! She had a Kitten. It was normal. And very cute. The End. ~ Ainsley Ainsley won her first media contest, a original Dr. Seuss-like Poster. She beat out everyone in the 2nd Grade. We’re […]
There’s an atrocious story in The Economist about how the worldwide gendercide rate is rising at an alarming rate. I’ll give you one guess which gender suffers from mass-extermination. In some areas there are 130 baby boys to 100 baby girls being born. The culprit? Utrasounds and abortions have given parents the technology to choose […]
I just finished Going Rogue: An American Life by Sarah Palin, former Governor of Alaska and 2008 Republican Vice Presidential candidate. I’m going out on a limb and asking readers to put aside their political venom to discuss the merging and blending of mothering and working. Take a deep breath. This isn’t a post about […]
We stood alone on Bob Sandlin Bridge for International Women’s Day, but we stood. We stood steady and strong in the wind and rain. We stood for Bora Tabu M’Kabonge, born in 1981, divorced mother of 3 in the Democratic Republic of The Congo. We sponsor her through Women for Women International, her life is […]
