Mama's Cup: Snack Time Snafu
http://www.mamascup.com/2011/04/snack-time-snafu.html
Friday, April 8, 2011. Last week, the Little One and I headed out for a playdate. With friends. I told her to pack up the toys she wanted to bring, usually an assortment of microscopic animal figures and their molecule-sized accessories, most of which have a nasty habit of finding their way into my vacuum. Diligently and using very good 'listening ears,' she collected her pea-sized possessions. "I'm ready! After I had my " aww. A few cheese sticks maybe, and some goldfish, sure. I'd just take a peek ...

Monday, March 30, 2015. I cannot believe that I am sitting down at my computer about to write what I'm about to write:. My bright, hilarious, inquisitive, soulful, beautiful eight-year-old daughter says she is fat. And she's not just saying she's fat. Tonight, she tried to stop eating her dinner, for fear of getting "fatter." She was poking at her "fat" belly as she got into the shower. She told me her skin is "wobbly.". She called herself ugly. And it was then that I felt my heart crack a little. But ho...

Mama's Cup: About Mama's Cup
http://mamascupabout.blogspot.com/2008/05/about-mamas-cup.html
Tuesday, May 13, 2008. Mama's Cup is a blog for the Mama as Whole Person: Parent, Woman, Mentor, Personal Shopper; Family CFO, EMT, Troubleshooter and Damage Control Specialist. I cover a lot of ground here, but the main focus is on parenting in the 21st century. I've added a dose of what it's like to be part of a blended family, but the traditional Mama will find plenty here for herself and her family as well. Mama's Cup is the Swiss Army Knife in every Mama's tool belt. Use it wisely.

Mama's Cup: Woah

Wednesday, April 20, 2011. My headspace has been occupied with Single Mamahood quite a lot recently. Sure, I've been at this Single Mamahood thing for a while now, and I've written about it here. But it's been on my brain more than usual because I've been working on a new book about,. But that's not what I want to tell you about right now. In my Googling escapades masquerading as research for my latest project, I came across something else. And I apparently came upon this new. Is a book called. When she ...

Mama's Cup: The Bin Laden Effect
http://www.mamascup.com/2011/05/perspective.html
Monday, May 2, 2011. The Bin Laden Effect. I woke up on the morning of September 12, 2001 in my fiancé’s apartment on the 23rd floor of his building on 39th Street in Manhattan. Neither of us had slept much at all, of course. And after that first foggy moment between sleep and waking when nothing is quite clear, the memory of the madness we were living descended. From his building, we could see—and smell—the black, burning cloud at the tip of the island. For so many people, this remains an unalterable tr...

Tuesday, May 8, 2012. The Real ABCs of GMOs. Imagine my surprise when I found out how woefully late I am to the real food party. The now defunct Connecticut food labeling bill—HB 5117—has been the subject of several of my recent columns. And with each piece I wrote, each interview I conducted, I have had to peel away layers of half-truths and outright lies like the skins of so many genetically modified onions. Co-founders Analiese Paik and Tara Cook-Littman, along with Institute for Responsible Technology.
