Mariette Ulrich

Mariette Ulrich is a homemaker and freelance writer. She lives in western Canada with her husband and six of their seven children. Mariette holds an Honours B.A. in English Literature (University of Saskatchewan). While awaiting the commencement of her M.A. studies, she worked briefly writing ad copy for radio. Severe morning sickness followed by full-time motherhood put an abrupt end to both. She now home-schools her children, writes, and does speaking engagements as time permits. Her columns and articles have appeared in various journals, newspapers and magazines in Canada, the U.S., England and Australia. Her interests include politics, culture, gardening, baking and ballroom dancing; her passions: faith, family and costume drama adaptations of 19th century literary classics.

LGBT studies: first legislate then work out how to teach
Mariette Ulrich | 20 Oct 2011

Boomer parents: the good news
Mariette Ulrich | 29 Sep 2011
A couple of weeks back when I posted a piece about the baby boomers who don’t plan to leave any inheritance to their children, I came down rather hard on that generation.
