Be Right Back
A quick note to say I’m going to be offline more than usual over the next few days in preparation for my son starting first grade (!!!) next week. I have a bunch of posts scheduled, though, including the vlog tomorrow, in which Helen and I discuss the classic theme of sperm banks and turkey [...]

Have a Good Holiday!
No Weekly Political Roundup this week, as I’m spending the time with my family for the holiday, and I suspect few of you will be around either. Have a good holiday, if you’re celebrating it!

Happy Blogaversary to Mombian
Four years ago today, I published my first Mombian post. It’s been a longer and more fun journey than I ever could have imagined, thanks to all of you who have stopped by to read, comment, and in many cases, become friends. My vision for the site then was to offer news, analysis, and resources [...]

We Now Interrupt Our Regularly Scheduled Programming
I’m not posting a Weekly Political Roundup this week. I did an LGBT Parenting Roundup yesterday that I hope will hold you until next Friday. You see, our son is graduating from kindergarten today, and I wouldn’t be a very good parenting blogger if I didn’t get out and, well, parent. Gotta go get him [...]

Taking a Short Break
I’m taking a short blogging break this week, so posts will be light. I have a few things set to publish automatically (so do stop by), but I will likely not be doing much in terms of breaking news. (This means, of course, that the California marriage decision will likely happen this week, because that’s [...]

Blog Reader Appreciation Day
Robin Reagler of The Other Mother is hosting her annual Blog Reader Appreciation Day today, which seems like a wonderful idea and a great reason to offer my appreciation to you, dear readers. If a blog falls in a forest, and no one is there, it doesn’t make a sound. (Trees are still open for [...]

Happy Holidays
We’re having a bit of a family emergency here right now, hence the lack of vlog yesterday. I’m also going to skip the Weekly Political Update today; I’m assuming that this week of all weeks you’ve been keeping up with the political news, and that many of you have left for the long weekend already [...]

We’ve Got the Beat: Mombian Cited as Cool Beatblog
Mombian was cited today as a “really cool beatblog” by Beatblogging.org, in an article that looks at how “instead of just writing about the joys and trials of motherhood,” mommy bloggers are “branching out into other areas.” “What’s a beatblog?” you ask. Here’s Beatblogging.org’s definition: A beat blog in the expansive sense is any blog [...]

I’m a Lezzy
. . . or at least I’ve been nominated for one. The Lesbian Lifestyle blog is hosting its annual lesbian blog awards, The Lezzys, all this month, and one (or more) of you kind readers has thrown Mombian’s virtual hat into the ring. That means I need more nominations to make it into the final [...]

Many thanks to all who took the time to vote for Mombian as Best Large Blog in the 2008 Weblog Awards. I didn’t win (the honor went to Jammie Wearing Fool), but I wasn’t last, so I’m happy. All in good fun, and I got to peruse a bunch of new blogs. Congratulations also to [...]

A friendly weekend reminder to keep voting for Mombian as Best Large Blog in the 2008 Weblog Awards. You can (and should!) vote once every 24 hours through January 13, since results are cumulative.

Winter Wonderland
Sometimes I blog, sometimes I just play in the snow. (Actual picture of my backyard.) Posting will be light this week. I’ll probably put a few things up, though, so stop by between slices of fruitcake or latkes. I suspect I’ll be spending Thursday helping a very excited five-year-old assemble various Lego projects. (In a [...]

My New Project
I had the pleasure last weekend to meet Bil Browning, founder of The Bilerico Project, the largest LGBT group blog. He’s posted a couple of guest posts from me in the past, and has just invited me to be an official member of the gang at Bilerico. Never fear, Mombian is not going anywhere. I [...]

50 Bloggers Walk Into a Room . . .
I spent the weekend, as some of you know, at the National LGBT Blogger and Citizen Journalist Initiative Summit (NLGBTBCJIS?) It was an amazing weekend, the best part of which was meeting many of the bloggers I knew only by name and reputation. The Bilerico gang, including co-owners Bil and Jerame, Pam Spaulding of Pam’s [...]
