Getting the thumbs up from "America's Worst Mom"

Lenore Skenazy (dubbed "America's Worst Mom" a few years ago for letting her nine-year-old ride the subway alone in the Big Apple) is a busy mom, an author, a blogger with a zillion followers AND her own TV show ... and she still found time to post this for me today:
