Wednesday’s Child: Xander

July 12, 2017

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 . . .

Best Amazon #PrimeDay Deals

July 11, 2017

Cute ruffle neckline dress - I tried this one on when I was looking for a cocktail dress a few months ago and loved it but felt the price was too high and returned it. Just ordered it for almost half off. This is a great crepe fabric and very flattering, and can be dressed up or down depending on your shoes and accessories. Star projector nightlight - We got this for the kids at Christmas and it was the biggest hit. It casts stars and moons all over the ceiling. Even the older kids . . .

Your toilet paper panic-button

June 26, 2017

This post was sponsored by Amazon Dash My house is in a constant state of toilet-paper crisis. I don't know what it is. It's a pretty important item . . . and yet it is the one thing I consistently forget when I go shopping. And with four kids we run out at an alarming rate. There are a few aspects of adulthood that elude me. Running out of gas is one, Running out of paper products is another.It seems like we are also always out of paper towels. And I've been known to do . . .

When a “not-guilty” verdict in the shooting of a black man becomes predictable . . .

June 19, 2017

The other day, Jafta wanted to walk to a friend's house at dusk. He was wearing a hoodie over a baseball hat . . . a look that he likes. As he walked out, I yelled after him. "Hoodie off! And take your hat off. Try to look less . . ."And as the words came out of my mouth, I was mortified with myself. What is the end of that sentence? Did I just ask my son to look LESS BLACK?  And yet, he answered back."I know." And he did know. Because of the talk. The talk that we continue to . . .
