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.com look this week at the low-tech but still entertaining world of board games. They review two brand-spanking new kids' games from Cranium, including one that works for all types of family configurations. They also recommend a bevy of others for children and adults of all ages, and discuss the virtues of breaking the rules and making noise. Plus: games for fans of either The L Word or South Park, and one that has nothing to do with Felicity Huffman.
The roommates discuss Andrea (Jill Bennett). Co-stars Maeve Quinlan, Cathy Shim, and Maile Flanagan. Get more video at http://www.3WayTV.tv!

3Way Confessional #6: "Will You Be My Valentine, Please???" (CLEAN)
The roommates discuss how they spent Valentine's Day, which included inappropriate gifts from Geri (Maile Flanagan) and an incident involving Andrea (Jill Bennett) and the police.
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. This week, Mombian's Dana and Helen step into an alternate universe and imagine what the upcoming season of The L Word might be like if parenting (but not pregnant lesbians or sperm) played a larger role. Bette with mashed peas on her suit? Angelica as a famous child artist? A theme song by two children's television icons to replace the current one by Betty? Helena's kids, anywhere, for more than 30 seconds? Jenny, near children? Maybe not. Plus Legos, laughter, and lyrics about linoleum!
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. Helen and I blind you with science this week as we demonstrate a bunch of experiments and explorations for kids. Watch us use marshmallows, blue gooey stuff, really long words to describe peanut butter, and gummi bears like you've never seen them before (including one variation just for adults). We also point out the very lesbianish cartoon mom in a popular book of kids' science projects. Whether you're a parent or a cool aunt or godparent, you'll want a few of these in your repertoire. Plus: An honor for Lesléa Newman, author of Heather Has Two Mommies, and a sneak appearance by our cat.
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.
