The fun thing about having a party for a nine-year-old is that the children are old enough for us to do away with the balloons and instead go for more authentic Harry Potter-type decor. Yet they are young enough to delve into their imaginations and and put themselves into the story.
We had a lot [...]
Actually, that was orginally me.
This post is to answer a question from Jennifer:
I know this question was already raised, but I don’t think answered, who teaches your daughter about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit? (I’m agnostic, just wondering).
I know I have forgotten to answer a lot of questions. If I passed you [...]
There is a drawback to having a child who is bright and creative and comes up with spelling-word sentences like, “I will not accept an excuse from someone who believes in antidisestablishmentarianism.”
What is the drawback? Blake’s imagination exceeds my abilities. Now that Thanksgiving is over (and my 34th birthday!), I am trying to [...]
It only takes reading a handful of my posts to figure out that my personal beliefs are one hundred percent atheistic. I think this causes confusion for some readers. Among many reasons for calling myself “Agnostic Mom,” one has to do with the way we are raising our children. Our family is [...]
I cannot wait to hear everyone’s opinion on this one. I picked up Blake from school and he handed me a flyer for The Good News Club, saying he’d like to join. In case you’re not from a more religious part of the country or world, this is a Christian club. Blake’s [...]

Whether your kids are artists, natural born scientists, or older video game lovers, I have some ideas for activities that will teach your children about biological adaptations that drive evolution.
If you’re not already a subscriber and haven’t yet read my article in the Humanist Network News, make sure you head over and take [...]
I need to clear up some misinformation. After publishing my post, When Religious People Teach Religion To My Non-religious Children, Sadie made the following comment:
I have a feeling that, like most instances in dealing with children, your kids did not portray the real picture of the situation. What I imagine really happened is that [...]
I am free! As I type this post, the only things I can hear are the air conditioner and a plane flying overhead. Even the dog is silent and taking a nap at my feet. For the first time in almost nine years I have some alone time on a regular basis. [...]
I thought we would avoid religious lessons to my kids while we were on our recent Cancun trip because we returned on Saturday evening instead of Sunday. No need for them to go to church with the sitter while we were gone. I looked forward to that change, although I expected my brother [...]
