Wednesday’s Child: Meet Aiden

May 27, 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 . . .

Risk prevention | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from July 2009.

May 21, 2020

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from July 2009. Jafta has acquired quite the collection of costumes in the last year, and dressing up as a knight/superhero/spiderman/fireman is his favorite thing to do. I used to store his costumes in a big box on a ledge over his closet, so he had to ask me to get a costume down. The other day, he came strolling out of his room dressed as spiderman, and I was wondering how he got access to the box. This is what I found: A . . .

A Fair to Remember | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from July 2009.

May 14, 2020

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from July 2009 I am slowly recovering from the Frenzy of Fair we were involved in last week. I am sitting here trying to think of how to explain what lead me to the fair, not once, but TWICE, in one week. Really, I have nothing to say for myself. Mostly I blame Rosie, my housekeeper. Rosie cleans my house twice a month on Wednesday mornings, in order to keep me fromĀ divorcing my husbandĀ arguing with Mark about the division of labor in our . . .
