Dresses, Moms for Liberty, and MoCo Madness
Oh, my
This past weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the Moms for Liberty Summit in Philadelphia. It was such a joy to connect with so many passionate mothers (and fathers!). I spoke to the Moms chapter in Carroll County, MD recently and it was so great to befriend the moms I met there.
The insane protesters who screamed at us all weekend, not such a joy. I wrote about the harassment for today’s New York Post, and how Moms is a blueprint for how to respond to the increasingly insane Left.
I got a taste of more crazy Lefties when I wrote about how a dress company I love(d) decided to partner with a man to model their dresses. Honestly, part of why I’m like “see ya!” is because if it looks that good on him (and it does!), those of us with shapes to our body don’t stand a chance. It was published on July 4th, and since angry progressives weren’t invited to any BBQs, they spent the day losing their minds about it on Twitter.
It’s a day ending in -y, so Montgomery County is making the news for all the wrong reasons. This time, it’s by requiring gender and sexuality books, and not allowing parents to opt their children out. This is a fantastic column by a Muslim dad about it on Fox News website this week. There will probably be another protest in a few weeks, and I plan to cover it. I was at the last one and did some media afterwards (some of the clips are on my Instagram account).
Over at my new RightBooks4Kids Substack, I have a quick post with a warning about some of the books available at the Scholastic book fair come fall. It’s not the wholesome fair from your childhood. We have a lot of other great content over there, as well.
This summer my oldest four kids are at camp, and I’m working on a few things: two longer essays about being present for the birth of a sibling, and becoming a parent after your parent(s) have died. If you have personal experience with either of those and are willing to chat and be quoted, please reach out!
I’m also working on a new book proposal about how progressive politics is poisoning parenthood. I’m open to your thoughts as I map out my proposal.
Happy belated Fourth, and two cheers for the two sleeping babies that stayed asleep long enough for me to get this out!
Not sure if you’re still working on your article about seeing the birth of a sibling. I’m the oldest of 9 and was there for the youngest’s birth.
I'm one of 11 kids and was present at the birth of a sibling (child #5) when I was 7yo. Let me know!
