S#!T PEOPLE SAY TO TRANSRACIAL FAMILIES | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MARCH 2012.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MARCH 2012. So . . . let’s say that HYPOTHETICALLY a fellow adoptive mom and I were brainstorming for a little video spinoff of the “S#!t People Say” meme, focused around crazy things people say to transracial families. What are some of the things we should include? Beyond the typical, “How much did he cost” or “Are they all your kids” questions . . . what other funny, clueless, or misguided things do people say to transracial families . . .
Wednesday’s Child: Three sisters Joline, Alex, and Aniyah
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 . . .
WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE HUNGER GAMES | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MARCH 2012.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MARCH 2012. It’s almost a little embarrassing to admit how engrossed I got in the Hunger Games book series. I suppose it would be slightly less embarrassing if the series were in a section other than “young adult literature” . . . but I’m comforted with the knowledge that I am not the only 30-something who went off the deep end for a few days, not sleeping and ignoring my children to finish these books. I can’t remember the last time I . . .

TIPS FOR PREVENTING EATING DISORDERS IN CHILDREN | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MARCH 2012.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MARCH 2012. My friend Irvina founded an incredible organization called Rewrite Beautiful, a revolution to change how girls see beauty in themselves. Rewrite Beautiful goal is to change girls from viewing their worth in the superficial for the prevention of eating disorders. Their vision is to build a nation of girls who don’t focus on their bodies, but rather their unique gifts and talents. In Irvina’s words, “We want girls to focus on . . .

Life Lately
Loved seeing our friend @nathanbroxton in Raisin in the Sun at @southcoastrep today! If you are local it’s a must-see. Homecoming fun! I love that their school lets kids get involved in so many ways. Each class does their own half-time dance (india choreographed hers and convinced Kembe to join!) Jafta sang the anthem with his alumni choir. Karis cheered and also did the freshman dance and Kembe was on court. Love watching them do their stuff. I decided to try to be fancy and . . .
OPERATION “GET RID OF HALF OF OUR BELONGINGS” UNDERWAY | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2012.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2012. For the last couple months, I’ve been in a bit of a funk about our house. It seems like my level of contentment about our house ebbs and flows, and every so often I find myself feeling very claustrophobic and ready to move to a prairie in Idaho or something. As the kids are getting bigger, the house is feeling smaller . . . and it wasn’t exactly big to begin with. Our mid-century house is just over 1300 square feet, and . . .

DOES LOVE REQUIRE WORK? | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2012.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2012. My friend Tracey wrote an interesting post about love today (you can read her post about making love work here). It spurred some interesting discussion in the comment section, and one commenter theorized that if love feels like work, it’s probably not going to work. I think this is an interesting question : is it really “love’” if it feels like work? I will confess, I have some strong opinions on this one, but I think it . . .
