This is a guest blog from Emily Kramer-Golinkoff. I was lucky enough to meet her about a year ago & even luckier that she asked me to help her make a big impact with her final thesis for her Masters in Bioethics. Her story, insight, and strength are worth your time. She’s hoping to leave […]

Something For Parents At The Park

February 20, 2013 9 Comments

This is post from my friend, Anne Gantt. I love this concept and am inspired by the idea of parents pumping iron at the park. I’m hoping we can move this conversation forward. Please share ideas from your own neighborhoods in comments. As a stay-at-home mom, I spend a ton of time at our neighborhood park while […]

Toddler Sleep: Early Morning Awakenings

February 29, 2012 29 Comments

Particularly on those Saturdays where an extra hour or two of sleep can be life-sustaining for exhausted parents to toddlers and preschoolers. Because […]

There is a lot of writing online about how to get your baby to sleep through the night during infancy but not as much expertise to help those of us with toddlers and preschoolers who wake a number of times. Between age 2 and 3 when O was released from crib jail and moved to […]

Four Hours On A School Bus

November 9, 2011 36 Comments

A good friend wrote a “secret, imaginary blog post” and sent it my way. I realized instantly it was a real blog post. But to protect her son and allow the imaginary (blog) to become real, she called upon her childhood and the beloved author Judy Blume, for help. She chose the pen name Veronica: […]

Location, Location, Location: Where You Get A Pediatric CT Matters

May 9, 2011 13 Comments

After I saw reports of the 5-fold increase in CT scans in children, I asked for “The Husband’s” take. I worry about a rise in the use of pediatric CT scans in the US because when a child gets scanned, they are being exposed to radiation. A CT scan is a series of x-rays taken […]

Guest Blog: "Image Gently" 5 Things You Can Do

May 11, 2010 29 Comments

Here’s The Husband. There is no ghost-writing, I promise. I’ve kept my hands tied behind my back for the past few days. The Husband is a pediatric radiologist. He works at Children’s. He’s passionate about reducing the amount of radiation a child receives when they have any imaging. In the medical world, “imaging” includes x-rays, […]
