Welcome!

What's the most uncommon thing in our culture today? Common sense.

Whether writing about culture and family issues for my weekly Washington Times column, blogging about the day's news, or talking with parents about how to do a better job on behalf of our children, it's common sense that drives my opinions and commentary.

I was honored last year when a host of respected folks praised my current book, Bringing Up Geeks, for its common-sense approach to parenting in today's culture. Noteworty names such as L. Brent Bozell, Chris Hansen, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Dr. Kimberly Thompson, Eric Metaxas, Lenore Skenazy, Betsy Hart and Rebecca Hagelin all praised the down-to-earth advice and simple wisdom of my geeky parenting approach. Best of all, I've heard from parents who have read the book and been inspired to follow their instincts and honor their values as they make common-sense decisions on behalf of their families.

This year, I'll be traveling across the country to share more common sense solutions with parents, educators, media professionals and child advocates. I'd love to visit your community, too, so contact me soon about scheduling a speaking date in your neck of the woods.

I hope you’ll visit my Internet home often and continue to share the site with your family, friends, neighbors and anyone who thinks we're all due for an infusion of something that just shouldn't be so uncommon -- some old fashioned common sense.

Best to you,
Marybeth
