If I were arrested for blogging

February 9, 2013 By: Lauren Ivy Chiong6 Comments

No Más Censorship, No Más

Blogging is something I do every day, and I take it for granted that I can say what I need to say and hit “publish” with impunity.  I don’t have to worry about the authorities pounding on my door in the dead of night because I said the wrong thing.  I don’t have to be […]

Kevin Clash, creator and voice of Elmo, says goodbye to ‘Sesame Street’: A mom reflects on the sad end of an era

November 24, 2012 By: Lauren Ivy Chiong14 Comments

It’s hard to find words to express the sadness I feel over what the media has termed “the Elmo sex scandal.”  I never dreamed that such a phrase could be possible.  Kevin Clash, the creator and voice of the beloved character Elmo as we know him today, is leaving “Sesame Street.” I’m heartbroken.  I feel […]

La toilette: A lady’s beauty secret for centuries

November 22, 2012 By: Lauren Ivy Chiong3 Comments

La Toilette, Art by Women, Toilet, Dressing Room, Dressing Table

This post was brought to you by Tesco. While I received compensation for the post, the opinions and thoughts expressed here are my own and were in no way influenced by the company. For centuries a sacred space for women has been la toilette — their dressing room, that purely feminine space where the process […]

Comedians who ran for office

November 7, 2012 By: Lauren Ivy Chiong6 Comments

I have to say I was more than a little shocked when I saw Roseanne Barr’s name on the ballot for president when I went to vote today.  She has received some press for her run, but with many other major news events of late, her candidacy has largely gone unnoticed. Unfortunately she was not […]

Your newly elected “SESAME STREET” character for President of the United States is…Oscar the Grouch!

November 7, 2012 By: Lauren Ivy Chiong2 Comments

Sesame Street Characters, PBS

OSCAR THE GROUCH! It wasn’t even close.  Both on ReelMama.com and on social media, Oscar was by far the favorite, beating Elmo by a significant margin.  The public has spoken! It’s been a dramatic turn of events, with Oscar and Elmo tied as of this morning.  You can check out all the favorite candidates from […]

The ‘Sesame Street’ character you’d most like to see in the White House is…A TIE?!

November 6, 2012 By: Lauren Ivy Chiong13 Comments

Sesame Street Characters, PBS

It wasn’t an easy choice, with many worthy furry and feathered contenders in the running. Let’s hope that this doesn’t portend the outcome of tonight’s election results, but the results of the vote for which “Sesame Street” character you’d most like to see in the White House is officially a tie between Elmo… …and Oscar […]

Fall Back: “La hora vieja”

November 4, 2012 By: Lauren Ivy Chiongcomment

Melting Clocks

  Today we “fall back” and “gain an hour.”  The idea is so funny, and it’s often hard to wrap our minds around having an extra hour on Sunday morning, but we certainly enjoy it. My mother-in-law is a Spanish speaker, and she called this concept of gaining an hour “la hora vieja” — “the […]

Facebook friends: Has Facebook changed the meaning of friendship?

November 2, 2012 By: Lauren Ivy Chiong2 Comments

We can all agree that Facebook has changed the meaning of privacy.  Before Facebook, we never would have dreamed of calling each of our friends on the phone to tell them what we had for breakfast.  Now we don’t give a second thought to posting a picture of it, commentary, perhaps even a recipe, for […]
