Tea party for a princess

February 17, 2020 By Lindsay Curren

Tea Party

The other day I was looking at a local magazine's take on birthday parties for kids. WOW! Talk about over the top. Apparently gone are the days of cake, ice cream and pin the tail on the donkey. Now it's all about the destination party—a gym, theater, theme park, rock wall climbing, gourmet fondue, paint ball course, build-a-bear, ceramics glazing or whatever. And to be politically correct at … [Read more...] about Tea party for a princess

Why women matter to the energy conversation

September 14, 2011 By Lindsay Curren

Tage Stroller Bike

I can't think of any moms I know (and even those I don't) who would sprinkle a dose of poison on her kid's food. I can't think of any who would blow mercury particulates in her kid's face. Nor any who would wish for her child a lower standard of living in the future than she now enjoys. Who does? Moms are the super champions of kids, wanting only the best for her offspring. Your kid's future … [Read more...] about Why women matter to the energy conversation

Back to school

August 29, 2011 By Lindsay Curren

Bicycle Book

Forgive my few weeks absence from The List. I've been catching up on loads of work at Transition Voice, getting the kids off to school, and preparing for a busy fall season in the Transition Town group I help co-lead. But I figure, what with rogue earthquakes kicking up in odd locations and hurricane season dead upon us, it's time to get back to encouraging conservation—those practices that will … [Read more...] about Back to school

Working class hero

May 23, 2011 By Lindsay Curren

Cute bike food

This past weekend the most amazing thing happened for my daughter Anwyn. She's the magical age of sweet 16. And while that does make her a doe-eyed beauty, it also makes her ripe for growing up and pulling her own weight. A few weeks ago I broke it to her that she needed to get a job. Sadly, there were few places within walking distance where she could work. So I took her to one of those national … [Read more...] about Working class hero

No kidding around

May 11, 2011 By Lindsay Curren

Magnificent revolution

Mother's Day was tinged for many this year with a certain sadness. This melancholy was experienced by kids and moms alike who are wondering why, on climate change, government is failing to take an active role not only in protecting our shared resources; it is also failing to actively structure those resources to offer the best prospect for future generations to thrive. For that reason, youth in … [Read more...] about No kidding around
