On Explaining Wheaton’s Law
The day you have kids, you have to change your language. I don’t mean you have to learn a new one, but that you have to start eliminating all the words you don’t want them to use once they’re old enough to talk. This is not an easy task. Once you try to stop saying […]
Secret Scents Perfume Lockets
What an amazing gift. I’m talking about the bold and beautiful lockets designed by our own GeekMom artist Brigid Ashwood. More than a piece of jewelry, each one also exudes a delicate fragrance when worn against your skin’s warmth. That’s because the locket compartment holds natural beeswax solid perfume. And each is customizable, letting […]

Felicia Day Hangs Out with GeekMoms
Yesterday eleven (if I’m counting right) GeekMom writers gathered in a room for the first time–sort of. We met face to face in a Google+ Hangout. Of course, you can only have ten people at a time in a Hangout, so GeekMoms Amy and Andrea graciously ducked out to leave room for our guest of […]

Printable Fun for Easter: Plus, the Link Between Eggs and Rabbits, Revealed!
“What the heck is it with Easter? I mean bunnies and eggs? What’s one got to do with the other?” Easter perplexes the heck out of my daughter. She loves the candy and the decorating of eggs of course, but she’s long been incredulous at the array of seemingly unconnected symbolism that is so associated […]
Steampunk as Modern Reliquary: Modding Gods in the Post-Modern World
Author’s note: This first appeared about two years ago at my steampunk novel blog, The Aldersgate Cycle. At the time I was knee deep writing the book of that name, and spent long hours pondering the meaning of steampunk, especially related to culture and literature. Hot on the heels of my graduate degree (with a […]
Steampunk Week Giveaway (Now Closed)
When I heard we were going to be having a steampunk week here at GeekMom.com I knew right away that I wanted to help celebrate the event with a giveaway. Just as I was deciding what, exactly, to give away, I received an email from a figurine company I work with. Lo and behold, the […]
This Week With the GeekMoms
Laura Grace Weldon realizes on the scale of things that this week’s flooded barnyard, vomiting dog, and chimney fire aren’t really important. In her own teetering attempt to find balance she’s writing about oneness as well as sarcasm. Rebecca Angel is excited about her children’s musical: New York Mosaic being performed this Sunday at Siena […]
Printable Fun – Shamrocks
Shamrocks have always been my favorite St. Patrick’s Day symbol. For the most part, shamrock imagery remains iconic, and has largely avoided the often offensive and stereotypical commercialization of Irish culture, that has long plagued the Leprechaun. For many Irish Catholics the shamrock is synonymous with the concept of the Holy Trinity. Legend tells that […]

Confessions of a Vampire Addict
An addict is someone who is obsessed with an activity or substance. It could be anything from drugs to pizza; to shoes to sci fiction. I don’t consider myself an addictive type of person. I don’t own a thousand pairs of shoes and only have wine on occasion. However, I am fixated on vampires. I love vampires. I can’t get enough […]
