Some of the articles of interest to working mothers that we’ve seen around the web recently…
- The Boston Globe reports that — with kids spending so much time indoors — pediatricians have been writing prescriptions for active time outside.
- Kate Tuttle, writing for Dame Magazine, talks about being an “accidental housewife” and a feminist.
- Renegade Mothering has a set of guidelines for drama-free mom relationships, including: “I understand that ‘on time’ means ‘not as late as I usually am.'”
- USA Today shares some apps and websites that can help keep kids’ brains in learning mode this summer [warning: auto-play video above article].
- Ever see a film and think something along the lines of, “[Actress] is way too young to be playing mom to [actress of similar age]”? Vulture has gathered several examples of the impossibly-young movie mom.
- Nostalgia time! Remember Raffi? Of course you remember Raffi (even if you don’t want to). “Baby Beluga”? “Down By the Bay”? Raffi talks about his new children’s album in this interview with NPR (in which he barks like a dog and namechecks Tom Waits).

- We rounded up 60+ Fourth of July sales — and some are still going on!
- Author Farnoosh Torabi guest posted on women breadwinners.
- Kat talked about the useful tool called Fiverr.
- The latest installment of The Hunt featured some comfy-but-not-frumpy low heels.
I was just noticing as well — sorry about this! We’ll try to find out what’s going on.
FYI Kat – something is going on with the number of comments. I am seeing “No Comments” on all the posts, both on their individual post pages and on the main page. As this page was loading, I saw “5 Comments” but once it was complete loading it was back to “No Comments”
Using Chrome for Android, in case it matters.
How do you all share photos of your little one with family members scattered around the country? Personally, I am dealing with a group of people who are not terribly tech savvy, some of whom use iPhones and some of whom use Android phones. I set up a Flickr group, but relatives have been having trouble joining, I think because a lot of them set up a Yahoo ID long ago, can’t remember the log-in information, etc. Does anyone use something else that works well?
Raffi! I have been playing his music for my 3 month old since she was born. I hope someday she loves him as much as I did when I was a kid.
Does anyone have any suggestions for kid-friendly music that won’t drive parents nuts? So far, in addition to Raffi, I have played her Pete Seeger, Paul Simon, and Sesame Street songs from musician guest stars like R.E.M. singing “Furry Happy Monsters.”
