YES! Juice box missing the straw. Guaranteed to cause wailing.
I've got too many lip glosses because I have a lip gloss problem. Including one clear natural one for the girls when they start in with "my lips are DWY!" HINT HINT Mama.
the contents of my purse, before & after kids
This one is part of my Before & After Kids series. Now I am not talking about a diaper bag. Comparing a pre-kid purse to a diaper bag is pointless. Like comparing a tricycle to a cruise ship. No, I'm talking about a purse. The much more compact and stylish bag I carry when my kids aren't with me...
It's not just me and my kids??!! PraisetheLord.
crappy laws of parenting, top 8 countdown...illustrated with crappy pictures™
I have two kids. This means that if one kid does x and the other one does y then I can conclude that 50% of all children do x and 50% of all children do y. This makes me a parenting expert. Since I'm an expert, I've decided to start a new series called the Crappy Laws of Parenting based on my sc...
Thanks for posting the video! Glad you enjoyed it!

These are amazing, Amber! I agree, the height of the photos makes them very special. I'm going to get Paloma one because of this post. :)
Through the lens of an almost three year old...
My little guy got a digital camera for his birthday from his uncle and he is constantly snapping photos. A toddler photographer in the house makes for funny candid photos when you aren't, you know, expecting it. I'll be casually changing my clothes, picking my nose or going to the bathroom...a...
Oh, you bet I was outraged at this blatant show of disrespect. This is the kind of thing I expect from CodePINK (whom I love), but not from elected officials. I immediately donated to his opponent, all the way from CA. You can too! Here's an ActBlue link: http://bit.ly/C4UAs
Congressman Joe Wilson- A Role Model for My Son?
There is a bully in my son's class who apparently thinks my kid is something of an easy mark. And why wouldn't he be? My son is responsible, respectful and well-behaved. He is a model citizen at school. In group activities, my boy doesn't fight to be the autocratic leader like many of his clas...
Thanks so much for linking to our HealthCare Truth Tag, and to the PVC action. There's a lot of work to be done, but together we're spreading the word!
Thanks again,

Monday's Action Checklist
At least 64 House Democrats have pledged to vote against any bill without a public option. We need to thank our House Healthcare Heroes. Tell them to stand strong against pressure from insurance industry lobbyists. Add your name now and than the House Healthcare Heroes! Women need you in ...
Great work spreading the word! We are looking forward to hearing how your meeting goes, and seeing photos!
Thanks!

Health Care Reform: Let's talk to our Senators!
Our U.S. Reps and Senators are home for a summer break, and we want them to hear what we Activistas think about health care reform! We, along with other members of MomsRising (because - of course - we're members too), are meeting with Senator Jeff Merkley's staff to discuss what we think fam...
Thanks so much for posting the www.MomsRising.org action! Very much appreciated-- this is empowering for all of us, especially moms and caregivers, who want to be heard and effective.
Health Care Reform Actions
During the past week, anti-choice groups have turned out in droves to stop progress on health care reform in the name of ideology. The Family Research Council and the National Right to Life Committee published lies about a women's preventive health amendment introduced by Senator Mikulski, clai...
Thanks so much for posting the breastfeeding action link! Much appreciated!

Reproductive Freedom Wrap-up
The past week or so has brought a lot of news on the reproductive rights front. Here are links to some of the news stories around these issues. Richard Nixon's tapes reveal that he thought abortion was ok if the pregnancy was from an interracial relationship, and compared that to rape. The FD...
