Mom of Tweens: Just kids being kids
By Jen Singer, Good Housekeeping, on Tue Aug 26, 2008 8:01am PDT
By the time the whole cast was giggling through their lines, I felt like I'd been invited into a secret society of children, like The Lost Boys, only with girls, too, and adult supervision. My sons were appearing in a church production of "Malice in the Palace: The Story of...

Mom of Tweens: Sometimes it's okay to let your kid just chill out
By Jen Singer, Good Housekeeping, on Tue Aug 19, 2008 12:02pm PDT
For one week, I couldn't find the middle. With one kid at baseball camp all day and the other pretty much playing Sim City much of the time, I had a lesson in extremes - and I'm not sure I liked either end. By the time Friday rolled around, I swore I'd never again lose that...

Crabmommy: Summer camp...for parents!
By Crabmommy, Cookie Magazine, on Thu Aug 7, 2008 7:44am PDTIn lieu of the usual Million Dollar Mommy inventions that I test-drive on this blog, I've got a slightly different idea this month. Inspired by two recent articles, here, and here, I foresee great wads of cash to be made by someone in the summer camp business. Apparently so many parents, coast to coast, are going ballisto with grief when their kiddos go to camp, to the point where camps need to contend with parental separation anxiety as an occupational hazard. But it doesn't have to be a hazard; it can be a cash-cow! Seriously, someone crafty surely stands to profit this new trend of parents experiencing seasonal "kid-sickness." For example, here's a letter I'm working on to welcome parents to my imaginary summer camp...a camp for parents of soon-to-be summer campers. Read More »

What's a mom to do when her kids hate camp?
By Tory Johnson, on Wed Jul 16, 2008 2:32pm PDTThe kids hate camp. Quitting isn’t an option. Not only did my husband and I pay a pretty penny for the program, but we work full time. Neither of us is prepared to take time off—nor are we hiring a sitter—to compensate for camp. (Cue the guilt: Both kids reminded me that I’m the boss and I can take time off or work from home whenever I want, at least according to their workplace rules.) Read More »

Hot and bothered: All you need is love
By Alice & Jane, Redbook Magazine, on Mon Jun 30, 2008 12:03pm PDTSo, I'm back from my week in the woods (sort of), where I was volunteering as a camp counselor for kids with a lot of complex medical needs and backgrounds. And it was SO MUCH FUN. I did it last summer as well, and all the volunteers are terrific people, and it's just great to spend a week... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (3) | Blog
