Keeping it real (nobody puts baby in a corner) | On Thursday’s I post from the vault. This post is from February 2010.

September 17, 2020

On Thursday's I post from the vault. This post is from February 2010. I have a love/hate relationship with mom blogs. On many levels, I love it, because it allows me to feel connected to other moms during this season where I am rather isolated at home. I appreciate hearing that I'm not alone, and reading that others are having similar experiences.

Wednesday’s Child: Meet Trey’von

September 16, 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.

A Knight to Remember | On Thursday’s I post from the vault. This post is from December 2009.

September 10, 2020

On Thursday's I post from the vault. This post is from December 2009. So, about Medieval Times. It was an epic birthday for Jafta. The entire time we were there I kept thinking about the part in The Cable Guy when they go to Medieval Times. I think Jafta's excitement made Jim Carrey's enthusiasm look like mere indifference. And you know Jafta showed up in full costume. I really had no desire to do a birthday at Medieval Times, but I also had no desire to plan any sort of party two days . . .

If you are local to Orange County, consider stopping by this teach-in and rally against racism tomorrow (Monday). There will be a lot of great speakers. It's a family-friendly event and will be peaceful and educational. They are asking people to wear masks and practice social distancing. Bring your own chairs or blankets! Check my stories for a link to the facebook event page and invite your friends! Organized by Black in . . .

The more I think about it, posting for the male gays vs. the male gaze is probably a fantastic moral compass for a 13-year-old girl.   I live with such generous souls ...
