t’s decorative gourd season, motherf**kers. Today’s crises: 1. Finding a sports coat that would fit over his cast 2. HOW DO I HAVE A HIGH SCHOOLER GOING TO HOMECOMING I think we are all ready for this cast to be off. #TBT Spain with Austin, Andre and my sister, 2015. Really sick of following @aus_rivers around the world. It’s truly the worst. Check my stories for links to these fantastic new books about racial justice and global aid. Love Anyway: An . . .

A couple weeks ago I got a text from my sports-averse daughter that said, "Can I join the basketball team?" And I was like, "New daughter, who dis?" Apparently they needed more players to be able to play in the league, and she decided she was up for the challenge. She has been waking herself up at 6am every morning to get to school for practice, and she is hustling during her games. Their team is full of beginners and they are getting beat pretty badly in every game, but she and her friends are . . .

So much fun having the whole @beerandhymnsoc band with us to lead music at #evolvingfaith19 this weekend. 📷: @ikelivesay #evolvingfaith Fun morning singing with the @beerandhymnsoc band and my nephew @aus_rivers at #evolvingfaith. Broken thumb. Yay football! At least it’s not a femur? (The cast was applied nearly two weeks after the initial diagnosis because the American healthcare system is an absurd stress dream.) Delayed benefits of attending cheer camp this summer ... cheering at . . .

Tea Collection for Teens and Tweens
Finding ethically sourced clothing that is also affordable and appealing to kids can be a challenge. I'm a long-time fan of Tea Collection. My girls have been wearing their soft cotton clothing since they were babies. No kidding, I've used Tea for back-to-school, for Easter, for our holiday photos . . . I am not kidding when I say I love this company. They’ve always got such fun, fresh clothes for girls in globally-inspired prints that somehow manage to be both fashion-forward and timeless. The . . .

Mom Sudry Copons (mom surgery coupons). The kids came back yesterday, a couple hours after I got the packing removed, which was as gross as it sounds. Real talk: the packing was absolute misery. I knew the biggest hurdle in this surgery would not be pain, but managing my anxiety with my sinuses packed. And I did it. I had a couple panicked hours and I did a whole lot of meditative breathing. I was unable to tolerate any pain meds (opiates do not get along with my stomach) so I got through it . . .
The Night Before Sinus Surgery: Pre-Op Shopping List For Septoplasty And Turbinate Reduction
Tomorrow is the big day! I’m finally having a septoplasty to fix my deviated septum, as well as a turbinate reduction to improve my breathing. I’m talking about why I’m doing it, why I chose Dr. Niccole at Cosmeticare, and what items I bought to help with my recovery. I first heard of Dr. Niccole watching The Real Housewives, when Gretchen had this exact same surgery. I've known I needed to have this procedure for years, and her anxiety pretty much matched mine. But I'm finally going for . . .

A sexy thing happened to me this week. I got a mouth guard to wear at night to keep from grinding my teeth. It now sits on my dresser next to my cracked heel cream, my insomnia tinctures, my asthma inhaler, my white noise machine, and a stack of books about the gender inequality of mental load that is leading to stress and overwhelm for women. Form an orderly queue, boys. 😂 In what may be the weirdest accidental science experience ever, I left a bowl of apple cider vinegar in the backyard . . .

When in Canada .... #poutine #caesar#photographingdinner View this post on Instagram This is me, sitting in the waiting room for my pre-op appointment watching one of the Real Housewives having the same procedure with my same doctor at @cosmeticare_ . And her anxiety pretty much matches mine. But I'm finally going for it. After more than a decade of sinus issues, I'm having my deviated septum repaired and my . . .
