“Growing Up Online”

As many of you know, I teach high school – grades 9 and 12. As they often share with me different aspects of their lives, I am increasingly flabbergasted at the amount of time children spend online. I am actually floored that their way of making friends and interacting with those friends is [...]

Happy Father’s Day!!!

To all the fathers out there, today’s your day! It is a day where your children cook you breakfast in bed, for a change. It is a day where your children reflect how wonderful and beautiful an influence you have been in their lives. It is a day when we all think [...]

Unsettledness

School’s out. I’ve got about 10 weeks off. Vacation! You’d think? Rest? Probably not.
Yes, I’m a bit unsettled.
I’m not quite comfortable with where I am right now. I’m about to be a stay-at-home mom for the summer. How in the world do women who do it full-time, all [...]

How Unique Are You?

Back in the 80s and 90s when I worked in corporate America, I loved to wear beautiful suits.  It was always my intent to purchase suits that I didn’t think I’d see on anyone else at any particular time (living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin).  It’s not that I had goo-gobs of money to spend on one-of-a-kinds; [...]

What Are We Teaching Our Children?

My daughter will be 3 years old on May 20th. I am so excited! I see her personality developing each day, her sense of independence, her vocabulary - it’s so incredibly amazing!
My husband and I try to teach our daughter how to make good choices. Even though she is (and will be) [...]

“Thinking” About It - Thinking Blogger Award

One of the great things about being here in the world of blogging is I’ve been able to begin developing my voice to attempt to talk about some things that are important to women (and men too!). Since I’ve started, I’ve met so many great people who’ve encouraged me along the way, tagged me [...]

Sticks and Stones, and Yes, Words Too

Last week, the Rutgers University Women’s Basketball team played the University of Tennessee in the NCAA championship. If you haven’t heard, nationally syndicated radio host Don Imus and executive producer Bernard McGuirk (and others), commenting on the Rutgers women’s basketball team on his show “Imus in the Morning” said the following, in part (click [...]

I’m A Top Momma!

I’m now a “Top Momma”! What does this mean? It means that I made the front page of TopMomma! And if you’d like, you can go to the front page of TopMomma and click on the eye - you know, the one that looks like this:

The more people click, the [...]

Parents, Protect Your Children!

I remember what it was like before I became a parent when I heard tragic news about a child.  I’d get sad, maybe a little angry, but the feelings would soon disappear.  Generally, those stories didn’t have long-term effects on me.
Since I had my daughter, every story of child abuse and exploitation I hear makes [...]

God Did That! More Lessons From My Daughter

As we were driving home a couple of days ago, my 2.75 year old daughter made a wonderful observation.  Here’s how the conversation went:
A.:  God did that!
Mommy:  God did what?
A.:  God painted the sky.
Mommy:  God painted the sky?
A.:  God painted the sky blue!  I’m gonna call God!
My daughter then opened her cellphone (it is an [...]
