I will give away two copies of The Motherhood Manifesto. Its a totally awesome book discussing the mission of Momsrising.org, a non-profit organization which aims to help families with increased political participation of mothers. You’ll like it. You can use it as a Mother’s Day Gift. On Saturday, Feb. 6 I will choose two people […]
This TED Talk is worth the 20 minutes. Eve Ensler is amazing. The best part is the end when she monologues from her new book,I Am an Emotional Creature: The Secret Life of Girls Around the World.
Madly In Love With Me Day is Feb. 13. Most likely it’s not a coincidence that it’s the day before Valentine’s Day. MadlyInLoveWithMe.com is sparking the party. (Perhaps Hallmark will catch on?) If you, or your daughter, have a difficult time connecting to a little self-love and self-care you might sign up for the Self-Love […]
Newsweek has an article about a phenomenon called Reproductive Coercion. Essentially, the male in the relationship is coercing the female to become pregnant so he can control her forever, through the child. After the baby, he reasons, he’ll be able to control her forever. Her odds of leaving him to find another man lessen and […]
Listen, I took some slack for The Girl Revolution: Fit Girl Series I ran last year. Too obsessive, one reader said in her email. The thing is, childhood obesity has very serious health consequences for our children. Especially for our daughters who reach puberty between 100 and 110 pounds, whether that happens at 6 or […]
Yesterday was one of those rare days when I witnessed a staggering work of genius. Astoundingly, I witnessed two. One of the works of genius is likely to change all media forever. Of course I mean James Cameron’s Avatar. It is Epic. In The Girl Revolution terms it was startlingly beautiful with a mixture of […]
One of the high school students, I was at a computer by the door and he was out in the hall, just blew kisses at me. He then mouthed the words, Call Me! I gave him a disproving look and turned away to ignore him. I feel I should do something about this. What?
My parents have been in town. Very exciting and fun for all of us. We went to the best hairdresser in all of East Texas, Crystal, and got a Four Generation Makeover. My aunt, Janice. My grandmother, Viola. (I think she looks sooo hip!) My mom Susie. She’s rocking the Paula Deen look. Me, Tracee. […]
By TRACEE SIOUX The most hysterical thing about substitute teaching are the names of the kids. Not the names themselves . . . But, the reaction of the kids when you phonetically read their names. They snicker. They talk to you like YOU’RE the stupid one for mispronouncing their names when you call roll. It […]
I substituted Kindergarten for 2 days. On both days I had lunch duty. No wonder kids are obese. School lunch is an unhealthy mixture of sweets and low-quality carbohydrates. On one day the 5-year-olds were served TWO hamburgers with white bread buns, french fries and a cookie, one stale slice of tomato, one strip of […]
Back in ’07, before the economy melt down, I was writing about Women and Money. It’s a big deal. We say stupid things like “Money Can’t buy happiness,” when the reality is that “Not having money can buy a great deal of unhappiness.” In a marriage especially. Having quit my job to be a SAHM/WAHM, […]
