When porn went mainstream, it grabbed all women – young and old, married or not. No longer were older women to be respected as sages of wisdom in our society and no longer were young girls to be protected and nurtured through society. Porn and Madison Avenue decided that all women were to be objectified and women are paying the price.

Tanning sheets that deliver (just enough) color to see you through a day at the beach or a “I’m actually healthier than I feel” kind of day.
There are two things I know to be true in my life: I will never have skin that turns a golden hue; and, this fact has caused a few tears, a little embarrassment and a lot of questions aimed in my direction, such as “You look tired. Are you okay?” Continue reading “Golden Bridge” »
BohoMamma’s recommendations for the best longform articles we’ve happened upon across the web.
“Heavenly Father” is a must, if you love to read; “Ann Hitler Tempest” makes good points about our exaltation of motherhood, without the actual support for the job; and, “The Girls Next Door” offers a sad and provocative look into the lives of young girls who have been caught up in the growing sex trafficking issue in the U.S.

An App that Helps Manage Chronic Medical Conditions
Our little one suffers from the big three: asthma, eczema and allergies. Her asthma is generally induced by a virus or a bacterial infection, which means we do tend to get some notice (runny nose and possibly fever) of the impending medical problem and have a general understanding of how to treat her condition (multiple medications every 4-hours; checking her respiratory rate; how her air is moving; and monitoring whether her condition is improving, worsening or remaining the same).

The songs that we hope will carry you into a lovely and grace filled Mother’s Day weekend with yours.

Our philosophy at BohoMamma is that everything we do in life – the dinners we eat; the flowers we set on our bedside table; the prayers we say to one another as we look across the table; the time we take for ourselves or give to others – hold meaning. Everything. There are some Buddhist tendencies to this philosophy, which essentially asks that we find purpose and meaning in all aspects of our lives and that we remain present in the moment. Strange way to open a story about the little things we hope will find their way into your Mother’s Day, but that is the point. Continue reading “The Smallest Details. Happy Mother’s Day.” »

Jessica walks us through her recipe for homemade Focaccia. Yes, we rolled our eyes. Yes, we thought “There is no way I could do this…”, but she makes it look easy enough and we’re going to give it a go this weekend. Homemade focaccia?

Words…
An article from the BohoMamma Magazine.
Some say the allure of longer tresses is its ability to remind us of youth. We say a woman who proudly owns shorter hair, also owns her sense of sensuality and sexuality. She says to the world, “I know what you think is beautiful, but I’m doing okay.” Continue reading “Hey Bob” »
Toni Morrison was featured in this week’s New York Magazine and was quoted as saying, “All of my life is doing something for somebody else”; “whether I’m being a good wife, a good lover, a good teacher – and that’s all that. The only thing I do for me is writing.” Continue reading “Poll: Do You Get Enough You Time?” »

Let’s file this under, “May Require Long-term Analysis”. I am a child of the 1970s/1980s. This fact, in and of itself, did not cause major trauma. However, my father did not put great stock in home decor and when he (or, one of the eighty Step Monsters) did, their choices were not what I had in mind because there was no updating involved. By updating I mean the normal things, such as paint. There were, however, attempts to add to our 1960s disharmonious decor with furniture of the times, i.e., 1970s – 1980s. Do you see the bad turn this article is about to take? Continue reading “Shag Carpet May Lead to Depression” »
BohoMamma has been thinking an awful lot about how to create revenue for our site while
maintaining our original goal of creating an online magazine for women that can be perused
as an experience – a timeout from life; a infusion of inspiration; a site free of outside
and background noise; and, a site worthy of our reader’s time. Continue reading “The First BohoMamma Book” »
