TV Replay featuring Ghost Hunting Moms
"Anderson thought that was particularly funny." Oh dear. I so wish you could have seen the full segment as we shot it, as we had Anderson Cooper head-down on the table laughing. At us? With us! The "Ghost Hunting Moms" segment of Anderson Live finally aired this week, months after... Continue reading

Yep. Bring more strawberries and the desire to act out a soap opera with Cars cars, as that is what we're doing today.

While Mom Works
Japanese stop motion, Nekot cookies, strawberries.
I wish I could afford to have someone play with her full time on the 2 days a week that she's not in preschool. She would love you! I always swear I'm going to take those days off but it doesn't always work out.

I would LOVE to see what she would pin on Pinterest. My guess is a lot of videos about how to make Japanese eraser kits.

Selfishly, fever hair reminds me of "just woken up from a nap in mom's arms" baby hair. I love it.

Sick day, post-nap, rare view of the other side of the pickup line.

That was the gut of the emotion. Also that I felt a little like an idiot for thinking for a second that I was helping. Giving is simultaneously straight forward and complicated.

40 Days of Indulgent Change
My little world is full of indulgences. This weekend, the kids and I threw a Willy Wonka party in our living room to celebrate finishing reading aloud Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We waited to throw our party until after Valentine's Day so we could take advantage of 50% off clearance Va...
Love Dogma. And I admit that I occasionally think upon seeing a person in need, "What if that is Jesus in disguise?" Then I feel guilty that my bar for helping would be Jesus.

I should have done this with my kids, too. Not too late to start now!

This comment is officially too kind. I have never thought of it as generosity but I dig that you do. ;)

Focus is not a Fad
The number of times I've written about focus on this blog is telling. Every now and then I show up and say, "Eureka! I've solved my problem of focus! Watch out! Here I come!" And then I get distracted. What you see are the bursts of energy in the foreground. My excitement at a breakthrough, us...

I love seeing this attention to detail at TypePad. The temptation (and pressure) to switch to WordPress is constant in our community, but I've been at TypePad since I started Velveteen Mind six years ago and I have yet to be swayed.
Compared to my WordPress magazine? TypePad is a more stable host and actually does have less spam.
Keep it up. Keep improving.

Retiring Typepad Anti-Spam and Switching to Impermium
As you might have read, we're disabling TrackBacks system-wide as part of our battle against spammers. Another huge step in this direction is by partnering with Impermium, a premier provider of social spam protection services, and retiring our own Typepad Anti-Spam service. Spam is a very seriou...

A Trumpet. A Signal.
For the last few nights, I've closed my social media day by posting a video from The Killers on Facebook and Pinterest. Often after pinning a handful of images of Brandon Flowers, their mesmerizing lead singer. Every girl should have a dream boy she can can gaze after. Not the kind that does you...
Har har. No, no coupons. Just words and pictures. It really did more or less simply replace the stark email subscription, though I'm planning some content that will be exclusive to subscribers. Probably not coupons. ;)

One of the reasons you and I get along so well is that we frequently confuse bravery with stubbornness.

Enter the Arrogant Fool
The pressure from not writing enough has created a physical urgency at the front of my mind. I've been writing at Velveteen Mind for almost six years. Since January 2007. And the whole time? I've had an ulterior motive. It took more than two years to admit to you that I want to write a book. But...
