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!

But they do discuss how Disney's Toy Story holds up with another dimension, and what they think of the Mouse House's new foray into nature films. They also go underwater with Kate Winslet, in a manner of speaking (and no, it has nothing to do with the Titanic). Plus, how to get fall yardwork done by bribing your kids.

Dana and Helen of Mombian.com celebrate Banned Books Week with old and new LGBT-themed children's books that made the American Library Association's Most Challenged Books list (as well as a children's book that was challenged in 1959 for promoting (gasp!) interracial marriage). They also commend President Obama for including same-sex-headed families in a recent proclamation. After that, it's on to entertainment, where they discuss a live version of the classic Schoolhouse Rock (and manage not to burst into song too many times), as well as a great new series about the national parks.

Will They Might Be Giants, now with their third kids' album, become the Schoolhouse Rock for the next generation? Is an album of songs for kids with two moms going to capture our children's attention or is it too ghettoizing? Plus, they insist that they like meeting viewers in real life, and encourage you to say hi if you see them out and about.
