Madeline Holler
Madeline Holler is a writer, journalist and blogger. She has been swinging on the parenting-style pendulum since Babble launched in 2006, the peak year of suspicion over epidural safety and also when moms drank heavily on playdates. Since then, Madeline has blogged for Babble Mom, where she has followed and offered opinions on parenting trends and news. Madeline's writing has appeared in print, around the web, and several times in Salon, including a defense of feminists who use cloth diapers (no really, it had to be done!). A native of the Midwest, Madeline lives in Southern California, where she obsessively reads, thinks and writes about national obsessions with education reform, childhood obesity, and whether modern moms like their kids too much. (We don't! We like them just enough.) You can read more from Madeline at her needs-to-be-updated website/blog: MadelineHoller.com.
