Meet Group Leaders Christine and Sandy!

Christine Koh is a music and brain scientist turned writer, editor, and designer. She spent a decade in academia and was about to become a professor when she decided to hang up her academic spurs in favor of more flexible and creative ventures. Christine is the founder and editor of Boston Mamas, a stylish resource portal for families in Boston and beyond, and is the self-taught designer behind Posh Peacock. Christine also is a freelance writer and editor and recently started a third blog – Pop Discourse – where she gives voice to her fascination with pop culture, the intellectually interesting or absurd, Boston life, and parenthood. She lives in the Boston area with her husband and 4-year-old daughter. Christine tweets at @bostonmamas.

Sandy Lee is a self-proclaimed typical career mom turned work-at-home, turned stay-at-home. For years she worked as a traveling neonatal nurse; moving, holding patients and especially her bladder for endless stretches of time. Now she's finally unpacked my bags in Boston, and occasionally uses her stethoscope to plug her ears as a stay-at-home mom. Tune in to her daily episodic nonsense at Momisodes.com. You may laugh. You may cry. You may even point and stare. Some days you just may do all three!

Awesome Ideas for Valentine's Day

alpha-mom-fortune-cookies.jpgAs a designer and people person, I do love Valentine's Day for its focus on relationships and heartfelt, crafty tokens. I recently guest posted at Care.com’s blog about my favorite family-friendly ways to celebrate Valentine's Day. I hope you enjoy the post! And for additional awesome ideas for Valentine’s Day, check out the following fabulous links:

The Lion King Live

lion-king-boston.gifAs a former performer, I've always been an avid supporter of the arts, but now I see the power and magic of live shows through a new lens via Laurel’s wide, elated eyes. And if you’re staying put during next week's February vacation, consider treating your kids (and yourself!) to The Lion King, which kicks off at the Boston Opera House on February 16 and runs until March 21. As has happened with every live show we’ve seen with Laurel to date, no doubt the multisensory thrill of the performance will stick long and fast in memory.

Now, want to win a 4-pack of tickets to The Lion King*? Simply email contests@bostonmamas.com with “Lion King” in the subject by midnight Thursday, February 11, 2010.

The Beauty of Ballet

jose-mateo-ballet.jpgToday, Kate reflects on the beauty of ballet across generations:

Does the beauty of ballet call to every little girl at some point in her life? Probably not -- there must be at least a few who are immune to the magic of toe shoes, the awe of the light-as-air lift, the seeming impossibility of a dancer on pointe -- but the appeal seems to be almost universal. I remember my mother describing how as a child she would watch and re-watch The Red Shoes, an overwrought 1948 melodrama about love and devotion gone wrong among dancers, and though the film itself didn't do much for me, I fully appreciated the pull of the ballet scenes. I'm not sure whether it's the costumes, the immense strength and discipline hidden under layers of pink tulle, or the fairy tales recreated on the stage, but ballet got to me too, and now it's gotten to my preschool-aged daughter.

Thanks so much for posting the event here Erin! That sounds great.

Hi Sher! So glad to see you here. We moved to the Boston area a little over 2 years ago from California. The adjustment has been shocking to say the least :) Hope to meet you next weekend!

Sher Comment by Sher on June 6, 2009 at 6:09pm
Hi ladies! I'm wondering if I've finally found a group of women I can relate to!? Your blogs rock! I've had 3 major 'adjustments' in the last year. First came the birth of my first son about 11 months ago, which has been a totally wonderful and wacky experience! Next came a move from Baltimore to Boston, where I've been trying to find my way. Finally, I just started blogging! I'd love to come to the Boston Blog Meetup next weekend... but I can't even figure out how to reply to the damn post! My blog is http://expectingwithoutexpectations.blogspot.com. Don't laugh... I'm new at this!
