That’s What SHE Said with Melanie Shankle

That’s What SHE Said with Christine Koh
Christine and I are talking about how to parent smarter, not harder. We both have shared values that parenting is often easier when we simplify, and that there are benefits to our kids when we let ourselves off the hook, too. Christine is the co-author of the book Minimalist Parenting. You can find that here and Rage Against the Minivan here. . . .

The New “Mom Jean” | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2009. The New "Mom Jean" I went shopping for jeans the other day, and I'm still reeling by some uncomfortable revelations. My shopping quest started because I decided it was time to venture out from my hoodie-and-yoga-pants uniform that I wear pretty much every day. I decided it was time for a little self-care. I'm still young and hip, right? I need a young and hip outfit. I started my adventure . . .
Wednesday’s Child: Meet Lashawna!
Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .
Recovery mode | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2009. We said goodbye to my nephews yesterday. We had such a great time with them. We are slowly recovering from our two-week run of hosting family. We showed them all the best sites in OC (pretty much a repeat of all of the places we took my sister). Then we spent a long weekend lazing around the pool in Palm Springs. It was so much fun, but now I'm dealing with a serious vacation hangover. Today I was determined to "get . . .
That’s What SHE Said with R. Eric Thomas
I'm absolutely giddy to be talking with one of my favorite authors. R. Eric Thomas and I are talking about the weird world of writing on the internet, finding the balance between writing about humor and pop culture and also writing about social justice issues, and of course . . . our mutual love of the theater. This episode was recorded a few weeks ago, and as we discussed how we've tried to engage people on issues of racial justice, little did we know it would soon be a national conversation. . . .

Last day for pre-order bonuses with Rage Against the Minivan
One of the bonuses for anyone who preorders my book is the chapter (booklet?) about parenting in a pandemic. It's longer than a chapter. I had a lot to say. I talk about the psychological effects, the startling shared experience of teaching our kids at home, and the continued need to let ourselves off the hook in this unique period in time. I'm sharing today because IT IS THE LAST DAY TO GET THIS. My book launches tomorrow, but if you buy it today, you get this chapter as a digital . . .
