Who is Moxie?
- Not an expert, just a mom. I help people troubleshoot their parenting problems.
This is my philosophy.
Search my archives on the upper left side of the screen. If I haven't addressed your topic yet, send me an email. I get 12-15 questions a day, so yours may not go up on the site, and since I have other jobs I may not answer privately, either. Someday...
New questions post M-F at 6 am (EST), usually, with a book review up on Friday night.
Ask me
- Email me to ask a question. If you don't want me to use your name or link to your blog, let me know. Otherwise, I'll use your first name when I post your question (but not your email). If you want your question to remain completely private, please make sure you label it "private"!

"Do you floss your teeth?" Ha! Unexpectedly funny.

How embarrassing is it to answer the "how politically (in)active are you?" questions RIGHT after you've listed all the dumb TV you watch. Reality TV, sure! Write to my politicians about things that are important to me, no thanks. Ug! Gotta re-think that.

Good gosh. Next time I'm just going to say I'm a non-drinker and cut 5 minutes off the total questionnaire time. Still, it was fun.

I read a lot of books for information, but it wasn't captured in the questions, fyi.

Also, once I put in that I was referred by a parenthood-themed blog, all of the magazine choices were magazines I have no desire to subscribe to, completely bypassing the things I am interested in.
It just seemed to create an incomplete picture.
Otherwise, kind of fun. Thanks for being interested!

It's not so much that I believe in UFOs as much as I don't believe we are the only planet with life. And yes, books were underrepresented. Did you get to select your own questions?

Argh! What's with the completely separate set of questions on "whisk(e)y" and "scotch"? Scotch IS whisky.
