MomGrind has a new tagline.
After Friday’s little discussion, it occurred to me that just like Denise, I love mommybloggers, and want to be a mommyblogger, but there’s a strong possibility that I don’t know HOW to be a mommyblogger.

Regardless of what you do, or what happens to you, I will always love you. There is nothing that you can do to make me stop loving you. Even if you mess up terribly, I will still be there for you.
I will always be grateful to my mom for saying this. I didn’t mess up too badly. I guess I’m a conformist. But those few little messes that did happen, proved that she had meant what she said.

I don’t know. I might, at some future point. But right now, I am still hesitant about exposing too much of my children’s lives.
It’s not safety that I’m concerned about. The potential exposure to non-local lunatics does not endanger children, in my opinion. I worry because my kids have no control over this exposure. Even if I asked their permission to write about them, and post their pictures on my website, and they gave it to me, would that permission really count? They are 6 and 8. They are loyal and loving and eager to please. They are not in a position to truly be aware of, and consider, all the pros and cons of online exposure.

“I will kiss your feet for some luv on this (provided that you like it).”
The email included the blogger’s name, the post title, and a link to its page on Digg. The article was hilarious and very well written, so of course I immediately dugg it, and I wasn’t the only one: it got hundreds of diggs and landed on Digg’s coveted front page.

Today commemorates the Nazis’ highly organized effort to rid the world of its entire Jewish population.
They managed to rid the world of most of its European Jews: six million Jews were gassed, shot or died in the ghettos and in concentration camps before the Nazis were stopped in 1945.
One would think that the lessons supposedly learned from the Holocaust would ensure that the world would not tolerate another genocide, but the latter part of the twentieth century proved that genocides were still possible and that the world was not quick to intervene and bring an end to them.

I received this from a reader via email.
I am rarely left speechless, but this photo did it.
Just confusion, and lots of different words swirling around in my head.
Progress. Freedom. Feminism. Body image.
Chronic back pain.
Thanks, Noa.

The tiny house had no finished exterior. Just bare bricks and mortar. At first I thought it was still under construction, but when a woman and a little girl stepped out, I realized that a family was living there. Through the open door, I could see a white plastic table and a couple of plastic chairs. The yard consisted of dirt and a few cactuses.
We ended up in the small, dusty Mexican town on Thursday, when we took the wrong exit off the highway on our way from the airport to Cabo San Lucas. Instead of going straight to the posh resort, we witnessed poverty.
