Wednesday’s Child: Jayden

November 30, 2022

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 . . .

LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM APRIL 2011.

November 24, 2022

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM APRIL 2011. `On Saturday, I attended a read-through for a show I am doing next Sunday afternoon.  There was a time in my life when terms like “read-through” and “doing a show” did not make me feel like a giant phoney.  There was a time when the passions that are now dormant had regular and tangible outlets.  So I’m a little giddy to be “doing a show”.  Next week I’ll be taking part in the LA version of Listen To Your Mother – a national . . .

An easy hack for getting those photos in albums this holiday season

November 17, 2022

We just got our most recent Shortcake album. I've been using them to make annual scrapbooks for over a decade! Shortcake had a genius idea: most people already have a highlight reel on social media. This was certainly true for me. And most people just don't have the time to transfer those photos into an album. Shortcake does all the heavy lifting. You can designate a social account and they will pull the photos, get rid of irrelevant photos (like that photo of your Chipotle burrito or that meme . . .

MOM2.0 CONFERENCE RECAP | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM APRIL 2011.

November 17, 2022

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM APRIL 2011. I’m back from another blogging conference.  Mom 2.0 was a great conference.  Really great.  But I just don’t know how to recap a conference without saying the same thing I’ve said after every conference I’ve attended.  Conferences are such a wall of overwhelm for me, and even I’m tired of hearing myself repeat how much angst and anxiety they cause.  But just to recap, here are some of the emerging themes from this . . .
