Helen and I discuss shopping for our new car and Helen shares her thoughts on why shopping “green” isn’t always as easy as it seems. (Helen also goes into more detail over at her place about our car purchase.) We also bring news of more lesbian birds trying to incubate eggs, and a project to […]
Helen and I share the harrowing but not tragic story of totaling our car last week. We then discuss asking and telling at our insurance company, which only covers members and former members of the military. Plus: a new memoir about growing up in the 1970’s as the child of a lesbian mom. And really
Helen and I discuss the second volume of LGBT parenting essays to come out of Canada this year, one that explores the many new and unnamed family connections that are created when one uses a known donor. We also offer some advice and suggestions for those buying gifts for children (or their parents) this season.
Helen and I assert that, contrary to recent headlines, lesbian parents are not better than straight ones (although we’re certainly no worse). We also discuss Thanksgivings past and future and some of our favorite holiday crafts and recipes. (Share yours in the comments!)

This week, Helen and I discuss two new must-read books about LGBTQ families. We also share a classic children’s drawing book we’ve been enjoying with our son, and the joys of used office supplies.

I’m vlogging solo this week since Helen is away on business, so I’ve kept it short and sweet. I talk about seeing “Harry Potter: The Exhibition” with our son and reading the first book with him. I also discuss Scholastic’s request that an author change the lesbian moms of a character into a mom and
Helen and I bring you this week’s video in 3D! Well, sort of. But we do discuss how Disney’s Toy Story holds up with another dimension, and what we think of the Mouse House’s new foray into nature films. We also go underwater with Kate Winslet, in a manner of speaking. (Thankfully, it has nothing
Helen and I discuss the perfect baby present for Mary Cheney and Heather Poe’s second child. We then show off Helen’s Halloween fabric engineering skills, proving that with lesbians, it’s sometimes hard to tell who’s the more domestic one. On another seasonal note, we take a retro look at It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown
Helen and I celebrate Banned Books Week with old and new LGBT-themed children’s books that made the American Library Association’s Most Challenged Books list (as well as a children’s book that was challenged in 1959 for promoting (gasp!) interracial marriage). We also commend President Obama for including same-sex-headed families in a recent proclamation. After that,
