I'm a first time geeky mama figuring out parenthood with my husband as we raise our geekling boy. Teacher, gamer girl, and craftaholic who loves Star Wars, sci-fi, knitting, and reading.
I’ve seen more than a few images floating around the internet lately of some fantastic car decals for the geek family, like the AT-AT parents and AT-ST kids. With our new geekling bundle of joy turning my husband and I into a little family of three last month, I began entertaining the idea of representing [...]
The baby product industry is huge. When I was pregnant, I was overwhelmed with just how many “necessary” gadgets there were; things parents-to-be are told that they absolutely need to have. In the end, there’s a lot of fluff and all baby really needs is love, food and shelter… but I admit there were a few products [...]
I’ve been wanting to start a somewhat regular post category for a bit now to show off neat links I come across over the course of a week, all in one post. With a new baby on board, I may not be able to keep up the category faithfully every week, but here’s the first [...]
It’s been a bit quiet around here, and rightly so… the geekling has arrived! This geeky mama is trying to get settled in with a newborn, but we’ll be back to your regularly scheduled programming here real soon. :) Our geekling was born on Thursday, June 30, 2011 at 9:18pm. He weighed 8lbs, 3 oz [...]

Any convention-going geek parents in the house? I am super excited to share my experience with Meet-Meme’s Social Trading Cards, something you never knew you needed until now, and trust me… you won’t be able to live without once con season begins. With a large part of our lives being online these days, especially if [...]
So with the geekling officially due in less than 2 weeks, I was given a medical recommendation to stop work a week earlier than planned. I feel like I’ve cleaned as much as I can, and I have all of this time on my hands where I’m supposed to be off my feet and resting. [...]
I’m definitely a Star Wars girl, though I’m sure you’ve figured that out by now with all of the Star Wars themed posts lately! While I do love me some Star Trek or other sci-fi series, too, I grew up watching Star Wars with my dad and it holds a special place in my heart; [...]
As an educator, I passionately believe that reading aloud to your child is one of the most important things a parent can do for (and with!) their children, and you can start start kindling a love for reading from day one. (I’ve read about moms who read aloud to their baby bumps, even!) I’ve been building [...]
