About

Nancy - I’m the mother of an 11-year-old and a four-year-old. And when I’m not working part time as a magazine editor, I’m engaged in an unrealistic quest to provide my kids with an idyllic and anachronistic life (sans electronics). This blog is my effort to come to terms with the fact that electronics are here to stay, and to use my journalist’s nose to try and make sense of that. I’m even willing to entertain the fact that technology could enhance my children’s lives. Maybe.

Andy- I’m a fifth grader in a public school in Walnut Creek, CA. I love sports (that makes my mom happy), math and computer games. I got a GameBoy in third grade, but wish I could get a GameCube or PS2. At least I have an iPod now.

 We’d love to hear from you:  Nancy@parentovershoulder.com.
