Madre Zenith #9

May Day! I'm back! this time with contributor Mariah Plumlee, a friend and mama from the Ithaca, NY area. This issue includes: The Car Question (with a surprising answer!), The Marvelouses do Baltimore, Getting Mauled By Bunnies: Life on the frontlines with twin toddlers (not for the weak of stomach), book reviews, a family pic so's you can see who you're dealing with, and from Mariah - the Diet Guru, Elegy for a Still-Living Elkhound, and unusual words on Dr. Suess. Oh, plus there's a top secret Mama tip written in code! Can you figure it out? hee hee hee, the adventure continues in a rambunctous household with your hostess and new RN actually paying the bills with a fulltime job that lasted more than 7 weeks! Who'da thunk?
trades out tomorrow, let me know if yours doesn't reach you in a week or so. As always, $2 or trade and I do love trades. I won't sneeze at your 2 clams either. Email me here or at madrezenith@yahoo.com. Better yet, snailmail me 507 S. 44th St Phila., PA 19104. Love y'all keep writing and keep getting through the tantrums and dirty diapers I am with you in spirit!

Fabulous...as usual. I

Fabulous...as usual. I especially love the image of the Marvelouses on bikes (it reminded me of a paperdoll set I once had--The Sunshine Family--the front cover of the paperdoll book showed the Sunshines--Mom, Dad, Daughter and Baby--all riding a bicycle-built-for-four). And can totally relate to "getting mauled by bunnies". Thanks for another great issue!
GEMINI Mama

Thanks!

Gemini, great to hear from you, and I do think of you as I battle the bunnies' tantrums, diapers, destruction, etc. Nice to share it through email and zines :)
much love,

Got my copy and loved it,

Got my copy and loved it, loved it! Thanks so much. I definitely disagree about Ariel's novel, which I loved (especially the saint stories and the Dorothy Day apparition), but I am now eager to read that The Glass Castle Book. I do make sure my kids have food, warmth and shelter but we are way weird, so I often wonder. I love reading about your family and adventures!

Looking forward to it!

Looking forward to it!
