Is Motherhood a Calling?

January 15, 2009 by Carla

Carla: We had a great conversation on Midday Connection and it raised some important questions in the comments on the blog. One issue came up in Dave’s set of comments on this post–and we know it will come up again and again and again so we are going to dig into it a lot deeper. And I want to be […]

The Mom-Center of the Universe

January 11, 2009 by Caryn Leave a Comment

Half-a-Portrait

Caryn: I’m loving the feedback we’re getting on the Manifesto. And some people have raised some points that I can’t shake. One is the whole tension between not thinking we moms are the center of the universe and the reality that our kids need us to be—and that often we do want to be—of theirs.
Case-in-point: Before […]

Hello, Amazon!

November 24, 2008 by Caryn Leave a Comment

So I just set up my “AmazonConnect” thingy, which means that what I write here now appears—I think—below the description for Mama’s Got a Fake I.D.: How to Reveal the Real You Behind All that Mom. Pretty cool. Trouble is, I have no idea what to say right now. I’m writing because Amazon said, “You’re done. […]

Is Balance Possible?

November 18, 2008 by Caryn Leave a Comment

 Here’s what we’re talking about at The Mommy Revolution:  Carla: It seems like every article I read about motherhood focuses on this elusive idea of “balance.” I’m all for it, if only someone could step into my life and show me what exactly it might look like. I don’t think my life is any more […]

Dad’s Got a Fake ID, too?

September 25, 2008 by Caryn Leave a Comment

Here’s what’s new on the Mommy Revolution site: This is hard for me to write, in a way, because I SO love the movie Mr. Mom. I saw it when I was probably 10 or something with my grandmother, who laughed and laughed the whole time. Since my dear hard-working, hard-knock-life-sort-of-life Swedish grandmother NEVER laughed, […]
