Feeding Hungry Kids – One Bagel At A Time

May 11, 2016 by Dani Shear Leave a Comment

Mother’s Day having just passed, it got me pondering the beloved topic of…yes, Moms. There are straight and gay moms, liberal and conservative moms, free spirited and helicopter moms, yoga and mindful moms.  There are the iconic Jewish and Italian moms, stay at home and working moms. Boho and Yuppie Moms, Dance and Trans Moms. Now, meet Bagel Mom. Deborah Kassin Elkins is … [Read more...] about Feeding Hungry Kids – One Bagel At A Time

Interview With Mom Behind the Uber-Like Service for Kids: HopSkipDrive

May 18, 2015 by Dani Shear Leave a Comment

I have been a mommy blogger for several years.  Then, my husband had a temporary work crisis and I had to get a “real job.” Having been a “creative” most of my life, I was pretty terrified about my future corporate prospects.

I’m Not Getting Any Older

July 11, 2013 by Dani Shear Leave a Comment

My mother never divulged her age.  As everyone around her was sworn to secrecy, I had to practically hire a WikiLeaks staffer to find out her actual birth year. When I confronted her with the date, all I got were angry denials and protestations. I could never understand this because my mom was a young mother and supremely beautiful. Like model beautiful.  Who cares how old … [Read more...] about I’m Not Getting Any Older
