The Virginia state lawmaker who wants to outlaw Barbie is going to lose his mind when he finds out about this: Barbie's got a tattoo! In fact, she has many -- and plenty of extra for the girls who play with her. Mattel will introduce "Totally Stylin' Tattoos" Barbie in its spring line. She comes with gobs of tattoos for herself, tattoos for the kids and also an accessory that seams to put many parents over the edge: Read More »

By Madeline Holler Strollerderby You know I'm all about the breastfeeding. I like to think I support all things boob and breastmilky. And I do, I really do. But we all have our challenges, our things to get over. Pumping in public is mine. But not Christen Clifford's. She rather likes to pump in public, or at least has no problem doing it. The nursing soldat in me says "Kudos! Kudos to you and your battery operated Evenflo, Christen!" The more squeamish side of me is blushing and quickly looking away. Read More »

By Madeline Holler Strollerderby/Babble One of the big news stories in the 80s and 90s was about crack babies -- kids whose addict moms continued using during pregnancy and after. The babies -- crack babies -- were born with varying amounts of the drugs in their systems. Much hand-wringing (and social-servicing, and child removal) ensued. Researchers have been following a significant number of these babies-now-tweens. What's the one thing these researchers have found in the crack babies that truly surprised them? Read More »

By Madeline Holler Strollerderby/Babble I KNEW we should have gone with Michael! My husband and I had protracted discussions on what we should name our new son. We went with Earl (shut up, it's cute!) for many reasons, including the fact that it wasn't super common. But according to the science, or maybe crazy science, we've predisposed the boy to criminal behavior. Read More »

Back before I had kids, a friend told me how her parents, who traveled frequently overseas, always booked separate flights. If one of the planes went down, they reasoned, their children wouldn't be orphans. I thought their gloomy scenarios were a little over the top -- did they also always take separate cars? Then I became a parent. Read More »

By Madeline Holler, Strollerderby No, no, that's not me bragging. It's some other woman. She's showing off her cervix in all its course-of-a-monthly-cycle glory on her blog My Beautiful Cervix. I'm no judge when it comes to an internal organ's appearance, so I wouldn't know a beautiful cervix from an ugly one. (Right now, I'd settle for one stretched open 10 centimeters, but I'm 9 months pregnant.) Still, her daily cervix update is interesting -- she really put a lot into it (word choice, Madeline, word choice). Read More »

Madeline Holler, Strollerderby So the Straight Talk Express drove off a cliff. And Sarah Palin has been packed off to Alaska to endure a long, cold winter of political career repair. Barack Obama is getting a tour of the White House from George W. Bush. And Joe Biden is kicking back thinking the gaffes will not end but the consquences might. But the rest of us. What about the rest of us? What in the world are we supposed to do now? Read More »

I sort of can't tell you how
little my marriage means to me. My husband? Oh, he means the world
to me. Our little committed family? Truly, the greatest thing I
have. But the marriage? Enh. I'm just not one to count on paperwork
and words and ceremonies and stuff like that to shape my personal
life....
