Babies, Round 2
As my lovely wife and I get ready to “really” start trying to have a second child, we’ve been acknowledging our fears about it.
In a big, vague way, of course we worry about how we’re going to afford “everything.”
But in a more intimate way, we worry about things like whether we’ll like another child as […]

Here are a few things I’m thinking about:
Adding a “Butch Bloggers” category. (And if you want to be listed, please leave a comment saying so!)
Adding ads, as much as a visibility strategy as for […]

Representing at BlogHer!
Are any LesbianFamily.org readers going to BlogHer?
I’ve been invited to step in as a speaker on the panel “The Politics of Inclusion & Exclusion in Online Communities,” and would love to have you join me and the rest of the very interesting women who will be there. It should be a great discussion.
