  • It’s the most wonderful time of the year…
    Suffice it to say that for Techboo and me, our dance card is full between now and the new year. After Thanksgiving (which we are hosting), we’ve already RSVPed for 2 holiday parties and a Chanukah party. I’m doing a Kwanzaa presentation in BabyGirl’s kindergarten class, complete with cornbread baking activity (Jiffy!). Plus, there’s [ […]
  • What I’m Thankful For: A Co-Parenting Challenge
    Find out what I (Deesha) am thankful for (plus a challenge to all you co-parents!) in a guest-post I wrote for SingleDad.com. Shout-out to SingleDad founder, RJ Jaramillo, for the opportunity. Here’s an excerpt: At this time of year, even folks with the hardest of hearts and the biggest axes to grind might pause [...]

    The bad news is: 1.5 hours of sleep. The good news is: http://bit.ly/36yldy
  • In which Inkognegro’s “Deadbeat Dads” piece triggers something
    Below is a comment I left for Inkognegro in response to the follow up post to his guest-post at Single Sisters Speak (corrected for typos): All of your words on the “deadbeat dad” subject hit home, because I had one, but this: “Whether absent in the physical, or in the mental and emotional…your children become suspended in [...]
  • I’m Bitchin’ again…or rather, I’m in Bitch again
    In the current Art/See issue of Bitch magazine (I got mine in the mail today), check out my review of the wonderful anthology “Who’s Your Mama?” edited by Yvonne Bynoe, and…my interview with the fabulous Farai Chideya. We chatted about her debut novel, “Kiss the Sky” and much more.
  • In which TechBoo’s dream comes true…
    So one of the unexpected perks of teaching was revealed this week. One of the students in my writing class (the face-to-face non-credit class, not the online grad class) is a Notre Dame alum and a die-hard fan of ND football. Her whole family is, apparently. My Techboo is a die-hard Notre Dame fan. Notre [...]
  • Openly resenting your ex? Think you’re not hurting your kids? Think again…
    Over at CoParenting101. org, we preach the Gospel of Getting Along With Ex and how loving your kid demands it, all the time. But there’s nothing like hearing the Truth straight from the horse’s–or rather, the kid’s–mouth: “Weren’t They BOTH my parents, All of the Time?” This interview, with Carolyn Grona, is th […]
  • “Musical Beds”
    This post over at CoParenting1o1.org reminded me of the following post from 2007 from the LiteraryMama “The Girl is Mine” column archives.. Musical Beds by Deesha Philyaw It’s Friday night which means reading an extra chapter or two of our bedtime story, Redwall, the riveting tale of Martin, an ancient warrior mouse, and the young upstart m […]
  • Sesame Street Turns 40!
    In honor of the first TV show I ever watched turning 40, here’s something from the archives that I wrote for “Love Isn’t Enough”: “Sunny Days…and Some Stupid and Sarcastic Ones, Too” And here’s my first crush, John-John from Sesame Street: According to Wiki, John-John went into the military, lives in Texas, and […]
  • Babysitters and BlogTalk and Birthdays and Biscuits…Oh, My!
    As usual, it’s a multi-tasking fest here in Mamalicious-land. But instead of feeling overwhelmed, I’m feeling good today. It helps that my morning with Mini-Me and BabyGirl was uneventful. They made it to the bus stop (which means I didn’t have to drive!), and they had biscuits for breakfast, which is always [...]

  • “The Package Deal” by Izzy Rose of StepMother’s Milk…and Other Mom Stuff
    This was a dad-heavy week here on CoParenting101.org, so I (Deesha) thought I’d throw some mamas into the mix and mention two books I’m reading. I’m wrapping up Divorce Sucks: What to do When Irreconcilable Differences, Lawyers Fees, and Your Ex Husband’s Hollywood Wife Makes You Miserable by Mary Jo Eustace.  The “Hollywood Wife […]
