Thank You, Indy Mogul

Mommy Wars? What Mommy Wars?
Today I’ve got a post up at the LA Moms Blog about Dr. Phil’s recurring theme of the mythical battle between mothers over how best to be one. I really think it’s about time we stopped listening to that nonsense and move forward to change the world together. I don’t mean change your mind or [...]
