Getting to the Point of #nestlefamily
I've been following the #nestlefamily drama that's been unfolding on twitter for the last few days. It's kinda like the #nikonhatesbabies incident that happened at BlogHer over the summer, multiplied by 1000. We weren't at the Nikon party where the t...
I\'m lucky my daughter is still alive!
It's been a long time since Lil' Lilith was a baby... so I haven't really thought about baby proofing in a while. We're thinking of finally getting a puppy this year, so I was searching for gates for doorways and stairs and accidentally came across a...
Well Played, Family Circle
I was visiting my grandma today, and I ended up flipping through some of her magazines, including Family Circle. I've always thought that the best part of Family Circle is the Letters to the Editor section in the front, because invariably someone ha...
Babies and Boobies

Sex Kills on ABC Family
The One Million Moms are at it again. They really don't like the new season of the Secret Life of the American Teenager. They disliked it so much that they're asking Kellogg to pull their ads from the show. (Apparently Hershey already stopped sponsor...
The ESC Movie: Not Coming Soon!
We recently took a workshop on screenwriting.* Yeah, I know what you're thinking - what was the ESC doing taking a screenwriting class? Is there an ESC movie in the works? No. Definitely not. (At least not until the fantasy future). We actually didn...
Secret Life of the American Teenager
Okay, so while I was making fun of the One Million Moms for their protest against The Cougar, I mentioned their previous campaign against The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Even though their complaints are a little bit old news, it's still con...
Read the Fine Print: It Might Save Your Life

The Pill Destroys Relationships?
As promised, here's our next blog about The Pill Kills Women. Our first installment focused on the medical flaws in their argument (particularly, how the campaign exaggerates the risks of hormonal contraception as a scare tactic). This time we're goi...
Why Is Bristol Palin's Sex Life My Business?
