A vlog exploring the intersection of lesbian parenting and pop culture. Vlogging barefoot! Dana and Helen kick off their shoes and socks this week in honor of the k.d. lang concert they just attended, advise when not to sport a fauxhawk, and then discuss some financial ideas for parents. Thinking about starting a family or already planning for your childrens' college educations? They share what's worked for them and explain why the "Bank of Mom" may help instill good money habits in your kids.
A vlog exploring the intersection of lesbian parenting and pop culture. Dana and Helen of Mombian this week wonder if Cashmere Mafia has not one, but two, lesbian pregnancies up its oh-so-fashionable (but thankfully turkey-baster-free) sleeve. They also discuss The L Word's portrayal of an older daughter dealing with a mom's coming out, the newly domestic Bette Porter, and scary foods from childhood. Finally, in honor of Valentine's Day, they explore how becoming a parent changes romance, and make a desperate request to childfree friends.

A vlog exploring the intersection of lesbian parenting and pop culture. Could Uncle Bobby's Wedding, a children's tale about two gay guinea pigs, become one of the most controversial books of the year? At least it would give the penguins a break, Helen and I conclude in our vlog this week. After some guinea pig-hamster confusion, we then move ahead in age range and recommend a book about transgender teens that should be of interest to parents and non-parents alike. We also respond to viewer comments that we seem like a "normal" couple, and ask "What is normal, and what does that have to do with parenting, anyway?" Finally, we share the world premiere of the new trailer for Dottie's Magic Pockets, a video for young children of LGBT families and their friends, and pass along a special Dottie discount to viewers (good until April 5, 2008).
A vlog exploring the intersection of lesbian parenting and pop culture. Dana and Helen of Mombian use Tasha's storyline on The L Word as an excuse to share the story of an actual LGBT officer raising children with her partner, and to explore the impact of the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy on the children of LGBT servicemembers. Helen also talks about her own experience as a military officer, back in the days of the Cold War, and even models her garrison cap.
A vlog exploring the intersection of lesbian parenting and pop culture. Helen and I show you why parenting is as much fun as a barrel of monkeys, literally. We congratulate a pair of lesbian moms for their prodigious fallopian feats, commend Kenneth Cole for recognizing lesbian moms, and turn a parent's eye to the last two episodes of The L Word. (Imagine Bette trying to assemble a porta-crib in her tent.)
A vlog exploring the intersection of lesbian parenting and pop culture. This week, Dana and Helen use Jodie Foster's increasing openness about her personal life as an excuse to talk about why it's important for parents to be honest about their families. How does being out (or not) impact children's sense of self? How can it aid parents and children in everyday interactions? Are there circumstances when it's best not to be out? They also recommend a book that should be on the shelves of every LGBT parent (and their older children) to help children talk about their families on their own terms.
The terrible three review the latest episode.
A vlog exploring the intersection of lesbian parenting and pop culture. Dana and Helen of Mombian rant about "Evil Lesbian Moms," bemoan the Cashmere Mafia's tired storyline about sperm-seekin' lesbians, and tell you why in fact a show about two straight, philandering, male plastic surgeons--Nip/Tuck--has some of the most intriguing portrayals of lesbian parents on television. On a brighter note, they recommend a children's book series described as a cross between "Hello Kitty" and "Star Trek." It's sure to please young ones, but may also appeal to adults with an interest in graphic design and breaking gender stereotypes. Their four-year-old even offers a guest opinion! Plus gender-indeterminate penguins, lesbian-mom trivia, and wild unsubstantiated speculation about Leisha Hailey!
