Mombian has recently crossed several milestones: more than 6,000 posts, more than 1,500 items in my Database of LGBTQ Family Books, and more than 400 entries submitted to the LGBTQ Parental Names Project!
I’ve redecorated! The Mombian site has a new look, designed to highlight not only my newest posts, but also some of what I hope are the most useful and interesting posts of the past 18+ years, plus various external resources, organized into categories relevant to LGBTQ families today.
I’m honored that Mombian has again been nominated for “Outstanding Blog” at the GLAAD Media Awards. I won the award in 2023 and 2012, and am humbled to again be among an amazing group of nominees. Here’s more on them and on the rapidly growing children’s and family categories.
I began Mombian 18 years ago today, and as any parent here in the U.S. can tell you, 18 is an age of significance. Here are some thoughts about reaching this milestone.
I’m thrilled to say that Mombian has won the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Blog for the second time! This one’s for all the queer parents working every day to raise our kids with love and make the world a better place for them.
I’m honored that Mombian has again been nominated for a GLAAD Media Award in the “Outstanding Blog” category. I won in 2012, and am humbled to be in the mix this year as I head towards my 18th blogiversary. Here’s more on the blog nominees and on other children’s and family categories.
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! Posting will be light here for a bit while I make merry with my interfaith family, though I may still have a few pieces for you in the coming week. I’ll also keep up the fun on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Please join me!
I’m slowing down posts here for a few days to enjoy some family time before the summer ends. I may share occasionally on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, though, if the mood strikes me, so please follow me there. Wishing you and your families a good end of summer, too!
I started this blog 17 years ago today as a resource for lesbian moms and other queer parents, and I remain forever grateful to all of you for reading my posts and interacting with both the site and me. A lot has changed in 17 years, however.
I’m honored that Mombian has once again been nominated for a GLAAD Media Award as “Outstanding Blog.” I won the award 10 years ago now (how time does fly!), and am humbled to be in the company of the other blogs nominated this year. I’m also thrilled to see so many great nominees in the “Children’s Programming” and “Kids & Family Programming” categories.
