After a nail-biting game India’s team is going for the championship! What a fun first soccer experience for her. Thank you @cleezy for encouraging this “non-sporty” girl to keep going! ?: @fmorton I guess the drywall guy decided my spendy @cb2 lamps needed some texture too. ?? So proud of India. Despite the fact that she’s “a non-sporty person” (her words), she participated in our city’s soccer tournament with her classmates and had a great time, and her team has advanced to . . .

Happiness at the Misfortune of Others
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from April 2008. DEF schadenfreude SHOD-n-froy-duh, noun: a malicious satisfaction obtained from the misfortunes of others. My kids love a book called "No, David". It is the first choice for reading of both my toddler and preschooler. I first saw this book in a bookstore, and thought that the depictions of this rascly little boy and the trouble he gets in to portrayed a negative message to kids. On every page, David is doing something . . .
Wednesday’s Child: Sarah
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 . . .

Is yours the black kid?
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from March 2008. It's always funny seeing people trying to be PC about our transracial family. It's like everyone is scared to say the word "black" or describe him in those terms. I am constantly chuckling to myself when people will say, "is that your son over there, with the blue shirt, and jeans?" or "is your son the one with dreadlocks?". Particularly because in most scenarios here in vanilla OC, he is the one-and-only black child in a . . .

My mother-daughter business trip with India
This post is sponsored by the Dove Self-Esteem Project I went to Mom 2.0 Summit last month, which is a conference for influencers in the parenting space. It's my favorite conference every year and this year I decided to take India with me. She's always been curious about the conferences I attend, and as she's getting older I thought it could be inspiring for her to see so many female entrepreneurs. So she attended as an "intern" and helped out where she could. She attended some of the . . .
