A vlog exploring the intersection of lesbian parenting and pop culture. Over a glass of holiday "vlog nog," Dana and Helen of Mombian.com take a detour from parenting talk to examine an article in the latest issue of Cosmo titled, "Angelina Did it. So Did Lindsay. What It's Like to Love a Girl." They also note the strange convergence of Cosmo fashion trends and lesbian style. Moving back to parenting, they discuss past and present lesbian moms on ER, a new pair of gay penguin parents, recent court rulings related to lesbian moms, and a cheap but fun kid craft involving a pizza box and duct tape.

Dana and Helen of Mombian.com discuss the proposed legislation by their very own Massachusetts state rep, which could restrict children of LGBT parents from talking about their families in school and require students to get parental permission before joining gay-straight alliances. How should one approach such local homophobia? What are they planning to do? Plus shameless parental promotion of their son's Valentine crafts!
A vlog exploring the intersection of lesbian parenting and pop culture. In this week's episode, Dana and Helen explain just who got whom pregnant, discuss why Melissa Etheridge makes a better guest star for Sesame Street than Britney Spears, and offer the rockin' lesbian mom some suggestions for duets she could sing with Oscar the Grouch. They also beg the producers of Exes & Ohs not to fall for a tired schtick about a certain aspect of lesbian parenting, and give their thoughts on Dumbledore's outing (because everyone else is doing it). Finally, they review The Daring Book for Girls, wondering why daring has to be gendered and why the authors weren't daring enough to include some lesbian role models. Plus: Made-up words! Cue cards! And why softball means never having to say you're sorry!
