We're Moving!

  We’re moving from mommy bloglines to family bloglines! Find us at familybloglines.com    Renovation and Invitation:   About US : Exploring ethics and privacy matters influencing family life and practices. Exploring how the internet/social media enables and disables dreams, daily practices, and relationships.  Who’s watching? Who’s talking? How much time are we spending/wasting?   Now that many of us have gone home again in these days of Covid-19, have we been assisted by social media or become more reliant on it? Have we leaned or caved in? Is authenticity now something we think of as a curated rather than lived quality?   About YOU : We want guest bloggers: we [might] want YOU!   Please contact us to pitch ideas for one- two- three – paragraph op eds that take up issues that arise when family  members go online.
