We almost puked. but we didn’t. | On Thursday’s I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From April 2010.

November 19, 2020

On Thursday's I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From April 2010. I went to the mall with the kids yesterday.  ALL FOUR KIDS.  I'm sure that this is an indication of a very small and sheltered life, but achieving this?  The feelings it inspired were similar to the feelings I had after running my first half-marathon.  If I can do this, I can do anything! I didn't intend to take them to the mall.  I had a small window with a babysitter.  But let me explain small windows with babysitters.  . . .

Wednesday’s Child: Xykky

November 18, 2020

Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .

Life Lately

November 16, 2020

  Crowding the #millionmagamarch feed with pancakes is petty goals. Hit like to push this to the top.       This was fun on twitter. Let's try it here. I'll go first: one-piece swimsuits, guys in skinny jeans and deep v-necks, Dollywood, spanking your kids in 2020, smoking hot wives, marriage conferences, boho fedoras . . . Trying to catch a ride on the wind with a skateboard and an umbrella. 😍😍   So the $500 used Subzero I found on Craigslist just . . .

A solution for the crying baby dilemma | On Thursday’s I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From April 2010.

November 12, 2020

On Thursday's I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From April 2010.  A couple weeks ago, I got the honor of becoming one of the first writers for the new Orange County Moms Group, a subsidiary of the regional mom bloggers group that started with the Silicone Valley Moms Group.  It's a great roster of writers, and I'm really excited to be a part of it.  My first post was selected for syndication and reprinted in several smaller papers throughout the country.  Yeah for the Modest Bee! Today our . . .

Life Lately

November 9, 2020

Jamaican food in honor of our first Black/Jamaican/Indian/female Vice President. The future feels bright. At the last minute we decided to take our Black Lives Matter flag to the celebration today, which Kembe rigged up to a fishing pole. It was wild how much cheering and honking we heard today about that flag. I know that people were voting for the candidate but I can’t help feeling like this election was also about voting for inclusion and justice ... and in today’s celebration we all felt . . .

What Tara said | On Thursday’s I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From March 2010.

November 5, 2020

On Thursday's I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From March 2010. My friend Tara has been writing a detailed account of the days following the earthquake.  I've been meaning to do this, too, in an attempt to process the whole event.  I actually have little scraps of journal entries in word documents that I never posted because most of the time the internet was down.  There was something therapeutic for me to sit and write things out, though, and I've yet to try to piece it together into . . .
