Life Lately
I brought my A game to the white elephant party. But India was the real winner. A Christmas joy trifecta last night ... @gungormusic followed by @johnnyswim followed by the @schittscreek Christmas special. ? ❤️ ? Our annual Buddy the Elf spaghetti bar ... These cuties caroled all over the neighborhood today. It was their idea and so fun watching the . . .

View this post on Instagram Kembe’s face when India falls. ?? Also I disapprove of his version of the Running Man. It me. Rainbow x 2 Let's say that hypothetically you had four houseguests and your hypothetically set out a collection of teas, not really paying attention just putting them out, and hypothetically they couldn't read English and picked a laxative tea that produces explosive . . .
What I want you to know about having a dad in the KKK
When I was five years old, in Kindergarten I had a best friend named Yonnie. She and I were inseparable on the playground, sat next to each other for activities and chose each other as partners on field trips. I loved her so much. We always had so much fun! Then one day my father came to pick me up from school (usually it was my mother). As I got into the passenger side of the car I noticed my daddy had an open beer container between his legs. The moment I was in he started yelling at me. He . . .
How a handfull of cheerios ended India’s modeling career || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from November 2008.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from November 2008. {at the rehearsal before the show. notice: Cheerios in hand = compliant toddler} India had her first (and last) modeling gig today. It was a runway show for Simple Shoes at a swanky hotel in Laguna Beach. She had one task: walk down the runway, turn around, walk back. Let's just say things did not go as planned, and I don't think we will be asked back. In truth, I really haven't pursued any . . .

I've just given in on making them keep these around. The fun is in the process....and in eating it the second you're done I guess. You can dress them up.... It's adoption month and I thought it would be interesting to host a conversation with my boys to talk from their perspective as adoptees. We will be answering questions over on instagram tonight, so leave your questions here or pop them into my stories. •photo by @loveisaphoto View this post on . . .
My 2018 holiday cards with Minted
There are so many great options for holiday photo cards, but I’m a big fan of Minted because their cards are sourced from a global community of independent graphic designers. Their cardstock is thick and includes a recycled option, and their designs are fresh and modern. But a huge draw for me is that they will print your recipient’s address on the envelope at no additional charge. You can upload a file with your addresses and they save it to your account so year after year, you no longer have . . .
The Asthmatics || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from November 2008.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from November 2008. No, this isn't the name of a new emo band. Jafta and I are, unfortunately, the asthmatics. Asthma is a weird thing. For us, it's something I totally forget about all spring and summer. Every year I think, wow, Jafta's asthma is totally gone! And then fall hits, and we are back to negotiating with the nebulizer. (Jafta watching Baby Einstein with his nebulizer at 7 months old) Having grown up with asthma, I know how . . .
10 Lessons I Learned From Divorce
Going through a divorce has been the single most difficult transition in my life. It’s not a path I ever wanted to walk and the effects have been far-reaching, from my finances to my social life to my physical health. However, as is true with many trials, it has also been a season of growth . . . of reshaping and learning, and re-evaluating my own identity. Here are ten of the biggest life lessons I’ve gleaned in the past few years. You have more strength than you think I never knew how . . .

How to Manipulate Your Children || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from October 2008.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from October 2008. We have one working tv in our house, and it's in the middle of the living room. So when the kids get to watch tv, I have to listen to it. They usually get a half hour after naps, and they usually choose Little Bill or Backyardigans. I was just so not in the mood today. So I reached into my bag of psychological trips and offered Jafta the "forced choice". It's when you give your child the illusion they are choosing something, . . .
