Nast who writes a placeblog called BlogWindsor and Femilicious at BlogHer this summer. The orphanage represents a new standard of hygiene, medical services, nutrition, and compassionate care for children in Cambodia.

Almost two years ago at the first Blogher Conference I was lucky enough to interview and get to know Lisa Canter (we aren't related but I learned a few things about the kanter/canter name from her husband, Marc ). And, we both are parents of two young children. As of today, contributors have helped me raise $381 towards the $750 goal.

I'm a parent of two wonderful children in elementary school. I asked a few colleagues on Blogher and beyond and discovered a few excellent blogs and video blogs that offer advice and recipes for parents who want to make sure their kids are eating a healthy meal. I can always use some help. Need some ideas? But, there must be others.

My fellow blogher, Lisa Williams , disagreed on this point. "Raising children isn't a special job, it just takes planning?"

I ended up discovering a program, at New College of California, a couple of years later, when I was producing arts benefits for social change, especially for women and children living with HIV, this was about 1989 and 1990. One will be for mothers who are mourning the loss of their children who died in gunfights in Oakland.
