I have wonderful news to share! The coloring book and crayon drive for kids on chemo was a tremendous success! As you know, friends and fans donated 50 books and boxes of crayons. But I am happy to report that is a drop in the bucket of the total amount collected: 700 books and 400…
I’ve been dealing with a sick baby for the past four days (she’s on the mend, thankfully), so I haven’t had much time to get on the computer. In the mean time, here are some stories that have caught my interest: The Third Wave Foundation has released a compelling report and infographic, which details exactly…
Thank you to everyone who donated coloring books and crayons! As you might recall, these goodies are going to kids who are undergoing chemo treatments. It’s just a little something to make their time at the hospital a little less, well, gray. Through the generosity of many friends, including members of Northwest Community Church, I…
If you haven’t been reading my other blog, The Tired Feminist, you might have missed the 6-part Exploring Feminist Motherhood series. Trust me, it has a lot less to do with Diaper Genies and a lot more to do with feminist discussions that came up during The Sin City Siren Book Club, where we discussed…
The Sin City Siren Book Club met on Saturday to discuss Opting In: Having a Child Without Losing Yourself by Amy Richards. Although we had a light but enthusiastic turnout (it was hard to compete with the state budget hearing), it was really great to discuss the book and the tangents it led to —…

Now you can feel free to enjoy all the lovely feminist events happening this weekend (Lobbying 201, Rock for Roe, Bowling for CCC…) and read your book, too! And, hey, if you haven’t finished reading, or maybe even started…
So the next Sin City Siren Book Club meeting is set for Saturday, Jan. 22. Are you ready? Because if you’re not… like, say, if you’re not done reading Opting In: Having a Child Without Losing Yourself by Amy Richards… or if you’re feeling a tad over-booked because it turns out the weekend of Jan.…
Are you ready for the next Sin City Siren Book Club? We’re meeting in a little over a week, on Jan. 22! In my last post I asked for suggestions on a good place to meet. (I am open to locations as long as they are non-smoking venues. wifi would be nice but is not…
So, we’re about three weeks away from the next Sin City Siren Book Club: Jan. 22! I thought I’d open up the discussion for where we should meet. I am open to locations as long as they are baby-friendly, non-smoking venues. (Wifi would be nice but is not required.) Let me know your ideas and…
