Wonder twin powers: activate! “If no one draws something going into my mouth are we even friends.” - Claire Just dropped a gaggle of kids off at a church event in my minivan so I guess I really have become my own mother. I love giving books as much as I love getting them. This balm for the working mom is off to a friend who inspires me to be better through her vulnerability and tenacity. ? It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Time to . . .

Mommy, I want to fix my skin so it will be white || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2008.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2008. Ohhh . . . my heart is hurting tonight. This evening Jafta opened up about how he feels being the only brown person in our family, and it was devastating. He's really never commented about it before, and we try to keep the dialogue open. But tonight he said the following, Mommy, I don't like my brown skin. I want it to be white. I want to take my skin off. I don't want this hair. I want hair like daddy. I . . .
Wednesday’s Child: Joebert
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 . . .

She woke up and decided today was going to be a “rock star day.” ? Drinking and axe throwing. What could go wrong??

What’s Best for You vs. What’s Best for Me || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from September 2008.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from September 2008. Jafta is starting preschool on Monday. Over the years, I've been witness to many a preschool conversations by my friends with older kids. I've always listened and glibly thought, come on, it's just preschool. Ah, sweet pre-parent naivete. So now that it's my turn, I've been agonizing over where to send Jafta to preschool since April. I kind of had a list of criteria that I was looking for in a preschool: 1. it's . . .

Mommy, look at the brown boy! || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from July 2008
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from July 2008. As a transracial family in a vanilla county, we hear these kind of comments every now and then, especially from other preschool-aged kids. This week, we heard on two different occasions. No biggie: it is perfectly normal for a child of that age to notice color. I mean, they are just learning colors and pointing it out is just an observation. I am NEVER offended by children making such comments. In fact, it can open up great . . .
