Disney Social Media Moms 2013, day 4

May 20, 2013

Over the past few days, I’ve been sharing photos of our recent trip to the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. I am using Disney’s new Story app to share our photos and video (they have sponsored this post). If you are a scrapbooker – you will love this app for the way it easily organizes your pictures into shareable moments, with caption and text options. If you are not a scrapbooker (like me), you will love it even more because it makes it look like you are with very little work. This post . . .

that’s what SHE said: pinterest ruins bananas, race as a social construct, mom dating, and more . . .

May 19, 2013

via j5n Why Angelina Jolie's Op-Ed Matters | Monkey See NPR And yes, as much as none of us would likely say that we equate breasts with femininity or beauty, it will be powerful to someone at some brutal moment to have heard her say that she did this and feels no less feminine, no less beautiful, and she's still with Brad Pitt.

Important announcement: India is now a tomboy

May 18, 2013

Lately, India has been talking a lot about her decision to be a tomboy. In fact, she tells almost everyone she talks with. "I'm a tomboy now," she'll announce with a flick of her hair. "I'm SO tomboy." She's quite excited about this new identity for herself. In her mind, being a tomboy means: She likes "boy things" like Star Wars She wears jeans Her new favorite color is black She will (occasionally) drink out of a cup that isn't pink She also spends quite a bit of time cultivating her . . .

Six reasons the #FitchtheHomeless campaign is problematic

May 16, 2013

Today my facbeook and twitter feeds were bombarded with reposts of the clever come-back video by Greg Karber in response to Abercrombie & Fitch. In case you missed it, there has been a quite storm of rage brewing towards Abercombie' & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries for the fact that the store doesn’t carry sizes beyond Large (10) because he doesn’t want fat people wearing the brand. Jeffries has been quoted as saying: That’s why we hire good-looking people in our stores. Because good-looking . . .

Questions of eternal significance: what shoes do you wear to a theme park?

May 15, 2013

We’ve spent the week at Disney World  this week (lots of pics and stories to come) but I wanted to pop in and ask a vitally important question here . . . one that has confounded me for decades: What shoes should one wear to an amusement park? There is so much walking at Disney World. Last year my feet were hurting by day 2.  I can never figure out the best shoe wear for miles of walking while NOT wearing exercise gear. Sine I hit my 30’s I’ve found I need decent arch support and cannot . . .

This post is sponsored by Disney Story. To find out more about this brand-new story-creation app - and how it puts the power of storytelling in your hands - click here. Last weekend, I had the chance to attend and speak at the Mom 2.0 Summit. It’s my favorite conference of the year, and this year it was here in Orange County. The fact that I only had to drive 30 minutes to get there and didn’t have to negotiate travel-sized toiletries made me even more excited. Just prior to the conference the . . .
