Yes, Virginia. Everything IS Political.

Blogger's Note:  Today we are excited to feature a guest post by Heidi, Anna's other mom, who just also happens to be a lawyer and a damn fine writer.


The beginning of the end of a very toxic and very short-lived relationship occurred when I heard the following words: 

“What is your problem?  Does EVERYTHING have to be political with you?”

Guest Post Tomorrow!

My Life With Pie will be featuring its third guest post tomorrow! I'm extra excited to announce that it's written by my partner, Heidi.  Everyone who knows her well knows she's a fabulous writer and a passionate advocate. A former teenage single mom turned lawyer, she has a unique perspective to share. 

Have you ever thought about the impact of politicians' decisions on our lives?  If not, you should - especially those of us who are parents.  Parents have even more reason to pay close attention to what goes on around us because our kids' future is at stake. Please check out the post tomorrow and get in on the discussion!

The Wisdom and Legacy of Steve Jobs

Everyone, myself included, seems to be mourning the loss of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, a man who led a technological revolution for which we're all grateful.  My daily routine would be a lot different without my iPhone, iPod, iPad and Macbook Pro. I'm sure the same is true of many of you.

But what's really remarkable is that so many people are realizing what an amazing person Steve Jobs was, with an amazing and inspiring attitude as he fought cancer and faced death.  Fortunately for us, he shared some really wonderful stuff - besides all those awesome gadgets - with the world, and I wanted to share some of that wisdom with you.
