While I edit my latest documentary film, "Lost In Living," I occasionally post very short clips from the film and ask a question. (See video attached.) The film follows four mothers who are also artists over a seven year period. Two women were pregnant when I began and two others already had adult children. So many topics and themes have been touched on and I thought I'd share some here and on my blog. (http://maandpafilms.blogspot.com/) Film website: www.maandpafilms.com/lostinliving/ I feel like I fail most as a parent when I expect to get it right with my daughter every time. When I think I have all the answers and don't understand that sometimes she has to find her own solutions. What about you? Check out the video attached and thanks!

Hi, I'm a bit new to this, but I published an essay in this month's Elle magazine about my bipolar father's parenting--and how wildly creative his disease made him as as parent. And: how that boxed my mother into the role of saying no, no, no. His extremes pushed her to a parenting role that she might not have gone to on her own. They're both gone now, he 27 years ago, she last year, and as I've been thinking about them, I thought about how my own young son will remember me as a parent. So I wrote about it and I'd be curious to know how other mothers feel about this. Thanks! http://www.elle.com/Life-Love/Society-Career-Power/My-Father-s-Magical-Parenting

Julia Child is such an amazing inspiration! I delighted in the summer "foodie flick" Julia and Julia. Wonderful actors/actresses with a modern day "social network" twist. The image is a reminder of how much love for Valentines day Julia and Paul had. This creates a desire to cook a great meal for my husband - but I don't think I could ever publish the tub picture! What are you cooking for your significant other for Valentines? Bon Appetit! www.cookwarecravings.com

Let's talk cookware! If you are a "boomer - or pre boomer" don't be surprised if the cookware you are craving is now stainless steel. As we become more "older -ugh" and more confident in our cooking style, we tend to gravitate toward a higher end product. (This is a NPD verified fact based on age groups). While there is always a place for aluminum nonstick fry pans for a quick meal and a speedy clean up - more and more are watching the cooking shows demonstrating advanced cooking techniques. For that type of lifestyle - people want a better quality pan to deliver a better result. For more information: www.cookwarecravings.com
