View this post on Instagram I'm proud of my nephew @Aus_Rivers in so many ways. He's smart, thoughtful, hilarious, and insanely talented. But I'm especially proud of the new charity he founded . . . @knittherainbowinc. Austin learned there were a few nonprofits dedicated to providing services to LGBT youth facing houseing challenges in New York City. KtR hopes to educate people across the country about the housing crisis . . .

Wednesday’s Child: Jayvon
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.

As it turns out, the "Little Snowie" machine is great for adults, too. Today in "let's throw money at the empty void of boredom that is quarantine" ... we got a snow-cone machine. We've entered the "camping in the backyard" stage of quarantine. A little light post-dinner wrestling. No one can beat Jafta anymore. It's all theater and him being a good sport. He can pick any of us up and sling us around. 😂 Her attire for an afternoon at the beach. #emosnotdead India embroidered . . .

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from October 2009. Jafta is my crafty little kid. He is always coming up with creative solutions for the things he wants, and this often involves dressing up like someone else. Like when he was watching football with Mark, and he suddenly bolted out of the room and re-emerged with two rolls of toilet paper under his shirt, declaring himself a "USC football guy": And then, a few days later, he came up with a better solution, using his . . .

View this post on Instagram India tried her hand at Japanese red bean mochi today (daifuku). We had fun mispronouncing the name and rolling the dough. The verdict: 2 of 4 kids really liked it. I thought it was good but always have to do a mental override with sweet red bean paste. I still associate red beans with ham and cornbread. 😂 This was from an @eat2explore kit (more on that in my stories, but it's a monthly recipe . . .

Catching up | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from October 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from October 2009. We are slowly but surely settling back in from our whirlwind trip to Haiti last week. During the month of September, we somehow spent nearly as much time traveling as we did at home. My house, my work, my kids, my sleep, my email inbox, and my patience are all feeling the results of that. I am SO looking forward to a month of doing nothing. (Nothing other than raising three small children while working from home, of . . .
