Katherine Center our Featured Blog
Thursday, February 18th, 2010Blog of the Week-Katherine Center
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010The Mom-Stuff Blog of the week is Katherine Center. Katherine is a novelist who’s words flow deep into your heart. I chose this post to share with you because it really touched my soul. She invites us to her grandparent’s ranch on the river with beautiful pictures and she welcomes us into her reflection with her words. “How can we be connected so profoundly and never have meet?” Katherine speaks novels in a very few words.
My grandparents’ ranch is on the Brazos river, a perpetually brown, sandy-bottom river outside Houston. (more…)
Blog Tour Visits Katherine Center
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010The Mom-Stuff Blog Tour is visiting Katherine Center this week. Katherine is an author of three books. Katherine’s first novel, The Bright Side of Disaster, was featured in People Magazine, USA Today, Vanity Fair, the Houston Chronicle, and the Dallas Morning News, among others. Katherine Center’s second novel, Everyone Is Beautiful, is featured in the March issue of Redbook. Kirkus Reviews likens it to the 1950s motherhood classic Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, and says, “Center’s breezy style invites the reader to commiserate, laughing all the way.” Booklist calls it “a superbly written novel filled with unique and resonant characters.” BookPage named Katherine one of seven new writers to watch, and the paperback of Bright Side was a Breakout Title at Target. Katherine recently published an essay in Real Simple Family and has another forthcoming in Because I Love Her: 34 Women Writers on the Mother-Daughter Bond this April. Her third novel, Get Lucky, is on sell now and she is working on a fourth. Today we want to share a post from her blog to remind us that the joys of living have to be spaced over time.

Meet Katherine
Katherine Pannill Center started writing fiction when she was in sixth grade, when she and her two best friends filled countless spirals with stories about meeting Duran Duran at the mall and bewitching the band members into falling in love with them. These stories involved kissing, weeping, limos, the occasional log cabin, and many gentle blankets of snow.
Around that time, Katherine also started keeping journals, logging with great sincerity every detail of middle school life as she knew it. Lists of friends! Lists of boys! Lists of must-have shoes! Lists of personal flaws and areas for improvement! The journals (though not the lists) continued through college, and now Katherine has storage boxes of them taking up far too much room in her attic.
Katherine always intended to be a writer. At St. John’s School, in Houston, where she clocked her K-12 years, she generated stacks of poems, school newspaper columns, and short stories. At Vassar College, she majored in English, wrote short stories, lettered her poems onto metal signs that she put up around campus, and wrote a novella (which won the Vassar College Fiction Prize).

The Sisterhood of Motherhood
Camraderie among women has never been my strong suit. I grew up with one brother and no sisters. I had cousins my age but none lived closed by. I of course had friends but as a tomboy, I didn’t always mesh with the “girlie” girls. I liked my friendships in high school but never felt quite at home — just enough to get by and be properly socially integrated. And by now you may have guessed that I never joined a sorority either.

Blog Tour Visits Better Way Moms
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010Mom-Stuff Blog Tour is visiting Better Way Moms this week. They are here to provide a source of honesty and humor about the true trials and emotions of being a mom. Nothing on their site is shunned, nothing is taboo, and all of it is true. There has to be a Better Way, and they are here to find it.
I hope you are having as much fun following Mom-Stuff Blog Tour as we are.
Today we want to share an Article by Shari Dabby posted at Better Way Moms. She gives a real look at how we miss the present by living in the future. This is something I need to be reminded of often. I love her story about a day at the beach. She helps remind us to soak up every minute. Our children grow up FAST.
It Goes So Fast! (more…)
Meet Sarah at Better Way Moms
Monday, February 8th, 2010The Mom-Stuff Blog Tour welcomes you to Better Way Moms. Sarah and Amy are here to provide a source of honesty and humor about the true trials and emotions of being a mom. Nothing here is shunned, nothing is taboo, and all of it is true.There has to be a Better Way, and they are here to find it. Today I am going to share with you why they started Better Way Moms in their own words.
First of all, why we’re here:
Our mission is to provide a fun and easy place for moms to remember that none of us is alone, all of us hit tough spots and really high points. We’re here to be as honest as we can, sometimes embarrassingly so, because we’ve found that the more honest we are, the more moms tell us, “Finally! Someone is telling the truth! Other people go through this too. I thought I was alone!”

**First, let me say that if you don’t understand the title of this post then I demand you go out and rent (or totally just buy) The Princess Bride.Posted by Robin Haws at Lolidots
I was going to do another post about Lost, what with it being D-Day and all. Then I thought about my dear readers who maybe are not counting down the actual minutes to the show tonight. With that and the thought of all the Lost posts that will inevitably appear once the show starts, I got the ol’ noodle crankin’ and am going to take a crack at something else. Bear with me here. I’m not sure where it will go. (more…)

Meet Robin
Mom-Stuff Blog Tour is visiting Robin this week. “Lolidotsbegan as a boutique for unique handmade children’s accessories, clothing and gifts. It started with Kutie Klips hair bows and grew from there. I love creating and crafting.
The Lolidots Blog was an unexpected extension of the Boutique that has been a wonderful experience for me. I love doing the product reviews and hosting the fun giveaways for all of my readers. More than that, I’m starting to be more comfortable with the main page of the blog and really enjoy the fun I have with it. The creative outlet is nice to have but, what’s been the most amazing part is the friendships I’ve made through it and because of it.
I’m a Texan through and through, wear my heart on my sleeve, wonderfully flawed Mommy of two, married to my best friend, child of divorce, former “party girl”, good listener, super sarcastic, soul searching, chili-cheese fries loving, non-baking, rock and rolling, unconventional parent…in a constant state of organized chaos.
I like to think of myself as an open book. If you’ve got a question about anything from hair bows to something you’ve seen or would like to see on the blog, please contact me! ” robin@lolidots.com
