Hollywood Sexist ‘Moms’ Night Out’ Fail!
It is no secret that I am a big fan of the movie Moms' Night Out. I am a fan mainly because the movie depicts the reality of what it is like to be a mom who is intentionally engaged in motherhood. I am also a fan of Moms' Night Out because a group of moms rally around a single mom to support and encourage her. Moms' Night Out resonates with moms—they are telling me that by the hundreds, and I am seeing proof of that all over social media! … [Read more...]

We want our six year olds to look like they are twelve, we want our twelve year olds to look like they are eighteen. What is it with this overwhelming trend to push kids towards looking and acting older than they really are. I do not get it. It concerns me … [Read more...]
