I’ve been looking forward to this week for a long time.
Today I am going to add an additional activity to what we did last year. I’m still working it out in my brain but I think I am going to explore color with the kids as a metaphor for how all of life is [...]

This article released yesterday on the Humanist Network News. If you are looking to celebrate Charles Darwin’s world-changing theories with your children, you can see how my family has done it by clicking here.
I have some ideas of activities I hope to add this year. I’ll be sure to post them to the [...]

It’s less than a month away. Are you ready?
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, check out my article in the Humanist Network News. Normally I only contribute one article a month, but this month I will have a second article in HNN. This week’s article is a general description of [...]

Jason Hughes is adorable (and, according to his blog, 42% evil):
I was wondering what was going on the past few weeks! I like the new design, though, I think I will miss the photo of the pretty flowers at the top…
Just think, though, you are now important enough to be attacked and not just ignored [...]

Talk about independence! Talk about freedom! Have you heard about Matt?
Just in case you haven’t, and just in case you need something to put you in the holiday spirit, watch this short video. It’s happy.
And if that isn’t enough, you can watch this one, too. Who ever knew that juggling could [...]

Here is a newsletter (and donation request) I received from the president of the non-profit organization, Darwin Day Celebration:
Dear Noell Hyman,
First let me thank all of you for providing your names or e-mails as supporters of Darwin Day — the Celebration of Science and Humanity. If there is anything our nation currently needs, it [...]

The following article is out of season. It is a new version (about 90% new) of a previous entry I wrote last February. I rewrote it for submission to ClubMom and decided to post it here, since it contains new information. It is a good reminder that there are important things to [...]

It started out superb. In fact, for as long as Israel was with us, Mother’s Day was perfect. The kids gave me their homemade gifts (and a few recycled toys). I got to read Blake’s numerous descriptions of me in a school project and how I “love life and the religions” and [...]

The following article was written for the Humanist News Network. Meant for publishing this week, it is being postponed until next week because of a fundraising campaign. I wanted to make sure AgnosticMom readers get to read it before the Easter holiday.
The last thing I expected when I got married was to face [...]

I was never interested in St. Patrick’s Day, even as a kid. My family didn’t do anything in particular to celebrate the holiday, which reduced it to a day of potential pinches. So irritating. At the same time I resented the pressure to wear green. I didn’t want to wear green. [...]
