The World Needs More Queer Mamas. The adventures of me, my partner, and our growing family. Saturday, January 22, 2011. 10 Months, 2 Challenges, Any Strategies? Our littlest one is 10 months old and I predict she will be walking by her first birthday! She is determined. She pulls up. She lets go and balances for a few seconds at a time. And she watches with envy in her eyes as her 3 year old sister runs/ dances/ skips around the room. So yeah. this is where we are. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://queermama.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
The World Needs More Queer Mamas. The adventures of me, my partner, and our growing family. Monday, September 27, 2010. I can do it. I am enjoying C's helpfulness and independence. These traits are certainly the nice part about having a 3 year old around. She likes doing jobs and favours. She's been finding jobs to do all on her own too - which is sweet. Links to this post. Wednesday, September 22, 2010. Anyway, Happy 1/2 Birthday dear dear E. Links to this post. Friday, September 17, 2010. A few lots do...

a queer family grows in redneckville: July 2013
http://aqueerfamilygrowsinredneckville.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
A queer family grows in redneckville. Monday, July 15, 2013. Angels when you least expect them. Guardian angels come in all shapes and sizes, I've learned. Travelling solo with children is hard. Not impossible, but definitely *up there* in the realm of things you don't wanna undertake too often, lest you lose your mind. And travelling with my babes, who are BEYOND excited (nay, jumping out of their skin in jubilation! Anyhow - the babes did pretty good. We got stuck in unreasonably long line-ups (mid...

A queer family grows in redneckville. Saturday, November 23, 2013. Called out on capitalism by a not-quite seven year old. We are sitting with our doughnuts and breakfast sandwiches (doughnuts first, of course) and chit-chatting when we realize that the line-up has just gone berserk and is practically looped around the store out the door into the chilly early-morningness. Boy-o says: "WOW! The people who work at Tim Horton's must be REALLY RICH! Well Mama - then WHY do we eat here? A few favourite links.

a queer family grows in redneckville: December 2013
http://aqueerfamilygrowsinredneckville.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
A queer family grows in redneckville. Monday, December 23, 2013. The end of 2013 is drawing near. I would surmise that this reality draws a collective * and very audible. Sigh of relief from all around. I personally cannot wait to raise a glass of bubbly (oh, who are we kidding? I'm going to raise at least a few! On the last night of this year and welcome the year to come. Homes (yes - multiple homes) damaged,. Situations of homelessness (all temporary, but some hanging on for much of the year),. In a nu...

A queer family grows in redneckville. Monday, October 21, 2013. If you ain't happy and you know it. I stumbled across a cheeky post. On Facebook yesterday, and it really resonated with a less cheeky sense of unease that I've been carrying around, and not sure how to articulate. (Kathryn blogs over at I Am Begging My Mother Not to Read This Blog, if you want to check out her other stuff! I love (lovelovelove) the way this post calls out "habits of happy people" posts. Why? Sadness makes sense. Anxiety...

A queer family grows in redneckville. Thursday, June 27, 2013. I even made the video on the day I went to his classes field trip. Not such a shit mom, maybe? Well - at least it felt like it for a wee brief moment, when the image of me and my grinning boy at the field trip appeared onscreen, and he grabbed my hand and squeezed it tightly. Mama swoon. I am open-minded.'. Ohhhhhhhhh. And ohhhh. Does this mama's heart so so so proud. Sent from my iPhone. Wednesday, June 26, 2013. Update: Heya fine peeps!

A queer family grows in redneckville. Monday, November 25, 2013. What If The Kids Aren't Okay? In her article "Identity Treason: Race, Disability, Queerness, and the Ethics of (Post)Identity Practices" Victoria Kannen asks, "What aspect of oneself or one’s identity is relevant for ethical attention and judgment? In what type of activities do people engage in order to form themselves, to moderate their presentation, to decipher what they ‘are’ in order to become recognisable? And so on and so forth. What ...
