Safe at Home

April 15, 2013

I’m home safe with my family. Scared and sad, but safe. Everyone who has checked in with me is also safe. Every update I’ve seen from our loved ones has been like a warm hug: so grateful for the safety of my loved ones, so sad for those who have been directly affected by this. [...]

I Want A Snickers Bar

April 2, 2013

When I was in 1st grade, I came into class one day and my teacher sat us all down on the rug for circle time and pulled out a Snickers bar. Which he proceeded to eat in front of an entire class of 6-year-olds without sharing one bite. You can bet he had our attention. [...]

More on Being Poly In The Media

March 13, 2013

It’s been quite a month for my engagement with the media as a poly activist. 20/20 re-aired our segment two weeks ago, in a two-hour special dedicated entirely to cheating cheaters and their cheating ways (plus us). That wasn’t the classiest move ever, what with polyamory NOT BEING THE SAME AS CHEATING. But our segment [...]

As Seen On TV: Talking Polyamory With the Media

March 2, 2013

Hi all! I’m stealing a weekend away with my inestimable girlfriend, visiting Portland Maine for restaurant week. It’s all snuggles & naps & good food around here. So this post will be short; I have some very important lounging in bed to get back to. But first! I wanted to let y’all know you can [...]

Questions at Dinner Tonight

March 1, 2013

1. If you’re genderqueer, can you have a baby all by yourself? – no, it turns out sex and gender are different things; you can be genderqueer and have a body that is genetically female or genetically male or none of the above, and it’s sex that determines if/how you can make babies. (there were [...]

So We’re Homeschooling Now

January 27, 2013

We’re air people now.  Here’s what happened. We were on the see-saw about whether or not to do this for *months*, and had pretty much decided to keep Rio in school. She was doing great academically, starting to make friends, and settling into a routine. She had a part in the school play and won [...]

Six Weeks of Silence

January 15, 2013

OMG, you guys! Six weeks. Six weeks since I’ve posted any writing at all. What have I been up to? Mostly I’ve been subsumed in holiday madness. I know, I know, the holidays are so two weeks ago. But they were huge for me. We had my favorite family stay with us for two weeks, [...]

Three Precious Moments

November 29, 2012

Somewhere, Serena picked up some snippets of Gangnam Style. She did not get them from me, for sure. But no matter, she has them in her sweet little brain. Which led her to be singing, “Hey, sexy ladies…” at the top of her lungs the other day. Rio was all, “Serena! Stop that! That’s inappropriate [...]

Help Me Find the Perfect Bedtime Story!

November 21, 2012

Last year, I gave the girls the first three Sisters Grimm books for the holidays. They devoured them and asked for more. They’ve been reading Sisters Grimm every night for almost a year now, and they’re down to one book left in the series. We’re sad to see this era end; the Sisters Grimm have [...]
