Foreign Policy has an article, The Death of Macho by Reihan Salam, siting compelling evidence that your daughters’ future will likely be brighter than your sons’. The Great Recession, as their calling our current economic situation was caused by “macho” testosterone heavy policy, reaction and motivation and the price has been men and their macho […]
You all know Amy at Shaping Youth by now, but I wanted to run a piece about the new Women Talk Sports Network and what it will mean for girls. May 19, 2009 In the Young Runners post yesterday I glossed over the new Women Talk Sports network and Shaping Youth Correspondent Rebecca Scritchfields involvement […]
I want to introduce you to Soul Meets World because there is always something positive and hopeful there. The worlds needs more positive and hopeful, don’t you agree? If you wake up with gratitude, you will give your day a healthy start. A day without gratitude is like a day without sunshine. It leaves a […]
I found this essay about the value of fatherhood in girls’ lives on Execumamas. I tell Kris all the time that I’m brilliant for choosing him to father my children. So many of us, Black women in particular, were raised in households devoid of father figures, and it plays a significant role in our adult […]
I found a great resource on Packaging Girlhood, inspired by a letter from Linda Holmes (It’s good, go read it). We so loved Linda Holmes’ letter to Pixar, we decided to support her with a petition. Here it is: Dear Dr. Catmull and Mr. Iger, We read Linda Holmess wonderful letter to Pixar (link below) […]
Sports Girls Play encourages parents to leave their children at sports practice and go run errands. I completely agree, not to mention that for $60 the child gets several months of exercise and you get a babysitter. What a bargain. As a coach I have always recommended that parents NOT watch every single practice . […]
I snagged this little gem from Sit at my table. Really, you should. It’s poignant. Simply Abundant.

Truly, the expletives I’ve muttered under my breath […]

What I’ve noticed about Ainsley, her 7-year-old self, is that she’s a leader, teacher, nurturer, caretaker. She’s a born mother. (She takes after me.) Zack wouldn’t take swim lessons alone (though he’s scarily unafraid of the water), so Ainsley basically taught him. She also just LOVES to take care of her cousins. She’s the oldest […]
Ainsley and Zack got a new cousin – Court Conrad. Isn’t he just precious!
WE DID IT! Ainsley and I ran a 5K. Our time was 47 minutes. She WON 2nd place. (Only 2 children ran the 5K instead of the kids’ mile.) Run – walk – run – walk – run – walk. Come on Ains, we can do this, let’s run to that cone and then we’ll […]
Everyone needs a little adventure. A little adrenaline rush increases your life span and happiness. This was my grandmother, Viola’s, 86th Birthday Party – in the mountains with yummy food (leftover wedding cake) and a zip line. Zack rode tandum with Daddy. These are two of my first cousins, Dawn and Lauren. Ladies (bravest) first. […]
