Staycation with Kids | “Stop Taking Your Kid Places!”

The year was 2009. My husband and I took an exotic vacation to Tokyo and Kyoto. The plane trip was about 14 hours, but it was oh so pleasant and roomy. I even remember liking the plane food. Our Tokyo hotel was fancy and high in the sky as we oversaw the city. We stayed in Tokyo for 4 nights, and Kyoto for three nights. In Kyoto, we stayed at a ryokan, and we slept on tatami mats. Every morning […]

Breastmilk The Movie | Review

It’s Breastmilk–the Movie! There’s a brand new film out from Executive Producers Ricky Lake and Abbey Epstein. (The women behind the critically acclaimed The Business of Being Born.) Directed by Dana Ben-Ari, Breastmilk explores how the personal becomes political. In the infancy of the Women’s Right’s Movement in the 1960’s, women’s rights meant having control over their bodies and their decisions about motherhood. Somewhere along the way, domesticity started to be perceived as an unwelcome and unenlightened pursuit as far […]

ITVFest is the premiere film festival for independent television. (Like MomCave!) After eight years of success in L.A., the festival moved to picturesque Dover, Vermont in 2013. Slummy Mummy and Double Leche were both official selections that year. Though produced independently, the cast and crew of the two web series had a bit of overlap. While at ITVFest, the creators of the shows got the idea of making a mom-themed comedy network and MomCave was born! (Well, maybe not born… […]
