Theme Song from BuddyG: My Two Moms and Me

Here’s the adorable theme song and opening sequence from BuddyG: My Two Moms and Me, the new animated show I reviewed last week. If it doesn’t put a smile on your face, you’re probably reading the wrong blog: The song was composed and sung by Curt Bright of The String Beans. (How can you not

Thankgiving Music Recommendations from Erin Lee and Marci

Children’s musicians Erin Lee and Marci bring us the next of their regular posts with thematic recommendations for kid-friendly music, plus activities to make the songs an interactive experience for the whole family.

I’m proud to announce the launch of a new venture here at Mombian: the “She Got Me Pregnant” video blog.

The rocker, lesbian mom, cancer survivor, environmental activist, political panelist, and all-around dyke icon has a new album coming out September 25, and I’m placing my pre-order now. (I also have two cats and love tofu; thankfully I can’t hit a softball to save my life,

Back-to-School Music Ideas from Erin Lee and Marci

I interviewed children’s musicians Erin Lee and Marci after meeting them on the R Family cruise in July, and posted about their inclusive approach to children’s music as well as their escapades with an illegal Elmo. They’ve kindly agreed to do a regular guest post with thematic recommendations for kid-friendly music, as well as ways

Illegal Elmos and Other Hazards of Children’s Music

Children’s musicians Erin Lee and Marci spoke with me aboard the R Family cruise in July about their inclusive approach to kids’ music. They gave me too much material to include in a single article, so below is a second piece from our conversation. I’m also very pleased to announce they will be regular guest

Fine By Them: Erin Lee and Marci Make Kids Music Inclusive

(In my analysis of Thursday’s HRC/LOGO Presidential Forum, I mentioned that schools should teach about LGBT families and the acceptance of diversity from day one. It’s coincidental that I wrote this piece for Bay Windows this week, but I think it’s appropriate.) The song “Fine By Me,” by children’s musicians Erin Lee Kelly and Marci
