Making Waves
April 30th, 2008 — SF Mom Map from Cookie Magazine @ Crab Mommy
I’ve got flat hair, but my 3-year-old, Crabtot, has a mass of ringlets. Or a snarlicious wad of hair-tangle, as the case may be. I’ve written about this before, as well as some wacky French scientists who actually concluded that…

Online Stores Related Websites- Speaking of libraries Generally speaking, I don't buy books, as I absolutely have no place to put even one more -- which doesn't stop me on occasion. I tend to go to the library and have them order a book for me, even if it is outside our library system. When we first......

An Organic Carrier With the Soul of a Backpack
April 30th, 2008 — SF Mom Map from Cool Mom Picks @ Cool Mom Picks

Laying Down Roots for Mother’s Day
April 30th, 2008 — SF Mom Map from Cool Mom Picks @ Cool Mom Picks

Biobigotry Warning
April 30th, 2008 — SF Mom Map from ryexplain @ Exploratorium Explainers
What emotions do these photos conjure up? Does one connote a noble symbol of freedom and the other a urban nuisance? Where do these ideas come from?
Here’s a neat article that I read today in the NY Times science Tuesday by one of my favorite science writers, Natalie Angier, about the problems with “biobigotry” (hope [...]

April 29th, 2008 — SF Mom Map from Cool Mom Picks @ Cool Mom Picks
I’ve always had a thing for Lewis Carrol but most of the Alice prints that would be cute for a little girl’s room have a 19th century feel that doesn’t jibe with my modern decor. Then I came across…
