Welcome to The Sieve

A few weeks ago, Kelly sent me a powerful piece of short fiction that ran in a recent issue of The New Yorker. She wanted to know my thoughts on it, I wanted to know hers.

We got to talking about how there's a lot of content about parenting out there--not all good, unfortunately--and I found myself wishing (again) that I belonged to some sort of magazine-article version of a book club. Sure, a weekly in-person event with wine and hors d'oeuvres would be ideal, but many of my most favorite people are scattered across time zones, so we decided to start a blog instead.

Kelly coined the name "The Sieve" (read on to hear about her inspiration, and for more on that New Yorker piece) and here we are. Our goal is simple: Discuss compelling articles, books, blog posts, etc., about the issues facing parents today. We hope you'll join in.
