By Tracee Sioux I don’t know who is more excited for the first day of Kindergarten, me or Ainsley. I’ve taken the education/parenting thing seriously and am sending a child who can read, write, do basic math, understands the color wheel, is quite good at logic and negotiation and loves homework. She’s a genius. Do […]
by Tracee Sioux Hey Tracee Jones! Tracee Jones! Tracee Jones!I had been married for maybe a year when some guy I knew from high school was trying to get my attention in the hall at my college. I remember this moment vividly because it’s when I realized my identity was no longer Tracee Sue Jones. […]

by Tracee Sioux Here’s one more reason to turn the TV off during the local news hour. No journalism experience, but plenty of modeling experience, this is the new “anchor” at an East Texas news station. All journalists with a college degree, apparently we wasted our time. And this photograph is actual marketing for the […]
by Tracee Sioux Click here to watch my news segment taped today. I had big plans for today. I was going to take three teenage girls to a Dating Respect Conference and help them to understand they shouldn’t accept sexually exploitative or disrespectful behavior from boys and men in their lives. I was feeling empowered […]

Isn’t this just Dirty Dancing for kids? Here’s the formula: Cute poor kid works at a country club for the summer. He’s really […]
by Tracee Sioux I went to the soccer league meeting on Saturday and they gave some interesting advice to the coaches. If your team is winning 5-0 at half time, it’s your responsibility, as the coach, to stop making goals and try to lose. Put yourself in the other team’s place. You wouldn’t like it […]
by Tracee Sioux I hate that I have to admit this. I really, really do. Like you don’t even know how much it pains me to admit that . . . My tone has become a problem. I know this because I hear my tone come out of my daughter’s mouth and that’s a problem. […]

According to the Washington Post article, Protests were held in more than 20 cities over the use of degrading lyrics by the music industry, the Rev. Al Sharpton said. The […]
by Tracee Sioux This weekend my husband and I got away without the children and we went out to a bar. Not just any bar, but bizarro bar. Let me paint a picture, I’m wearing my hot red heals and we’re sitting in the back corner, because it was the only open table. The table […]
By Tracee Sioux I’ve been racking my brain, trying to figure out why we keep the monthly menstrual cycle a big secret from our daughters. I’ve got nothing. Can’t think of a single developmental reason for keeping the biological fact of menstruation from my daughter. Out of default I have attempted to be private and […]
by Tracee Sioux Do you vacation without the children? Well, my husband and I never have. Not together. We’ve separately taken a weekend to go on a retreat or a night away, but never together. This weekend will mark the first time. We’re not going far, just to a nearby bed and breakfast for the […]
