PARTY PLANES, PUKE FESTS, AND FONDUE FEUDS (BLOGHER DAYS 1 & 2) | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM AUGUST 2010.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM AUGUST 2010. In my life, I’ve had a couple variations of recurring stress dreams. One involves me being unable to find something right before a big event (it’s my wedding day and I can’t find a hairdryer, it’s time for prom and I can’t find my dress, etc). Another recurring dream involves me finding out that I am failing a class (in college I took an anthropology class where you could skip the final if you got 100% on the midterm. I did, . . .

HOMEWARD BOUND (RE-ENTRY FROM THE BLOGHER ALTERNATE UNIVERSE) | On Thursday’s I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From August 2010.
On Thursday's I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From August 2010. I’ve been on several mission trips in my life, and typically the last day is devotd to a process called “re-entry” – where participants some time debriefing in preparation for acclimation back into real life. On a mission trip, time is usually spent discussing how one might react to the newfound awarenss of the excesses and privilege in their first-world life. One might be warned of the culture shock they may . . .
Wednesday’s Child: 16-Year-Old Ashton
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 . . .
THE SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS | On Thursday’s I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From July 2010.
On Thursday's I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From July 2010. There were a few incidences last week that set into motion our current vagabond existence: The Rat On Monday morning, Jafta woke up early to use the bathroom, and we suddenly heard him calling for help. Mark ran in to find Jafta staring at a rat in the toilet. THE LID HAD BEEN CLOSED. I can’t decide which part of this story is more bizarre: the fact that this rat somehow swam up through the plumbing, or that fact that . . .
MORNING, INTERRUPTED | On Thursday’s I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From July 2012.
On Thursday's I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From July 2012. I woke up this morning to a phone call from Diane Sawyer’s producer. An hour and a half later there was a film crew at my house. So. I guess we’re on World News with Diane Sawyer tonight? I think it’s at 6:30. [EDITED: NOT TONIGHT. LATER THIS WEEK] They are doing a follow-up to the orphans Diane visited right after the quake. (That would be Kembe in her arms. Can’t express how that felt – seeing him on the news happy . . .

Dwelling on Design | On Thursday’s I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From July 2010.
On Thursday's I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From July 2010. I’ve been trying to find the time to sit down and write out my weekend, and here it is almost Thursday. I’ve been distracted this week with filling out a mountain of paperwork for Jafta’s kindergarten application. How in the world do I have a child old enough to go to kindergarten? Jafta got to have a look at the school today and he said as we were leaving, “I think this place is going to be very positive for me“. I really . . .

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kristen Howerton (@kristenhowerton) Our holiday “bucket list” basically consists of crafts as a vehicle for eating more sugar, and cheesy holiday movies and binging The Office. 👍 Karis’s coffee habit is so bad that she has resorted to drinking straight out of the French press with a straw.
