Line of risque T-shirts has family groups outraged

Somehow, there is a new level of risque attained when you slap sexual messages on a four month old. I’m still trying NOT to picture this sweet little cherub

Are women held back by “sucking sound” of their infants?

I am far from a breast-feeding fascist, but I can’t help but take issue with Hanna Rosin’s recent article The Case Against Breast-Feeding (via the discussion at BlogHer).  My objections have little to do with whether or not you should breast-feed.  Actually, I could go on about the urban elite “ur-mother” types who strut their [...]

As the primaries move forward and we think more and more about who our next president will be, Michel Smith of the Home School Legal Defense Association appears to be trying to re-invigorate support for the Parental Rights Amendment which would amend the US Constitution to explicitly protect the rights of parents to direct the [...]

Planet’s meanest mom now the coolest

Last week, the Cates at Why Homeschool introduced me to the meanest mom on the planet. She put an ad in the paper that says it all:
