The Standley Lake High School Tragedy: Sending my kids to school should not be an act of courage
Editor’s Note: Mile High Mamas’ longtime blogger Gretchen’s teenagers had a brush with tragedy yesterday–both are students at Standley Lake High School where a student set himself on fire. Do not miss her must-read post. I set off on this snowy, brittle afternoon to pick up my K-8 kids from school. The roads were smeared with dirty ice and winds shoved the van. It felt precarious, like the whole day, a slick white tightrope between home and my kids, elsewhere. I was glad to get to them, to bring us all under one roof safe again, until tomorrow. I’ve said this before, and the time has come to say it again: It shouldn’t be an act of courage to send your kids to school. A song came on the radio. It was John Mayer’s No Such Thing.

Featured Mom Blogger: Suzanne from Crunchy Green Mom
What is the name of your blog? Crunchy Green Mom How did you choose this name? I am started on the whole eco-friendly path when I was taking out trash one day.

Featured Blogger: Lori of Weebles Wobblog
It’s time to interview another amazing blogger! This week, Mile High Mamas is featuring Lori of Weebles Wobblog! How did you get started blogging? I googled a book I was reading (Waiting for Daisy) and landed on an invitation to a bloggy book tour. All I needed in order to participate was the book and a blog. I had one and started the other. That was the birth of Weebles Wobblog. I serialized the story of our infertility and adoptions at Drama 2B Mama as a way to document my journey from utter despair to eventual motherhood. And with a Canadian partner, I started a product review blog because we both love finding cool stuff and being sassy in reporting on it. It’s called All Thumbs Reviews, where we bring you our thumbs-up (and occasionally thumbs down) finds, along with frequ...
