Reminder: Carnival of Bent Attractions

A reminder that I will be hosting the January Carnival of Bent Attractions here at Mombian. This blog carnival is published monthly and is made up of submitted posts on topics of interest to the gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, trans and queer communities—not just LGBTQ parenting topics, though those are welcome. If you are interested in […]

Lesbian-Parent Weblog Award Nominees

Two lesbian-parent blogs have been nominated for the 2006 Weblog Awards: LesbianDad, in the Best New Blog category and Liza Was Here in Best of the Rest Blogs. Both are in contention to win their categories, but the competition is tough. Unfortunately, there are no LGBT-parenting blogs nominated in the Best Parenting Blog category. Gay

This blog carnival is published monthly and is made up of submitted posts on topics of interest to the gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, trans and queer communities—not just LGBTQ parenting topics, though those are welcome.

Mombian Shop Relaunch

Just in time for the holidays, I’m relaunching an updated Mombian Shop, chock full of books, music, videos, toys, baby gear, and lots of things for house and home. You’ll find items geared towards children of same-sex parents and items celebrating lesbian culture, but also more general categories of products. We’re a diverse lot, really,

Mombian’s Moving

Big news from Mombian HQ today: My partner has accepted a new job, so sometime in the next few months we’ll be moving from the lovely Hudson Valley to the equally lovely Boston area. I lived there in college, and am excited about going back, although it will be very different this time with family

Blog Redecorating

Doing a little redecorating of the blog over the weekend. Things may look a little strange now and again for the next 24 hours. Please bear with me as I work out any remaining bugs. Thanks!

On Vacation

I will be on vacation until August 15, in a remote and unplugged wilderness. I’ve written several pieces that will post automatically over the next few days, though, so do stop back, even if breaking-news coverage will be in short supply. I also won’t be able to moderate comments until I return. (If you’ve left

Technical Difficulties

Apologies to those of you who tried to visit the site last night but couldn’t. My Web host was having some serious problems. This is the first major issue I’ve had with them, so I’m going to give them another chance. Web outages are never fun, but it’s hard to avoid them entirely, no matter

Updated and Improved Resource Directory

I’ve updated and reorganized the Mombian Resource Directory for Lesbian Moms, and hope you’ll stop over for a look. This is an enhanced version of the links list to the right of the posts. I’ve added some categories that don’t appear on the main blog page, though, and tried to make it overall more useful.

Happy Birthday, Mombian!

A year ago today, I wrote my first post for Mombian. I’m pleased that the vision I had for the site back then seems to have been a worthy one. My goal was to create a blog of useful news and resources for lesbian moms—as lesbians and as moms. I drew on my own experience
