Less than a month away before I birth this baby!
A heartfelt, subversively funny memoir and a bold personal manifesto that pushes back against the superficial expectations of motherhood -- and challenges the idea that there's a "right" way to raise kids. With hard-won knowledge gained from having four kids in four years, Kristen Howerton navigates the emotional and sometimes messy waters of motherhood, sharing valuable lessons from her journey through infertility, adoption, pregnancy, toddler tantrums, divorce, and the . . .
A Fair to Remember | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from July 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from July 2009 I am slowly recovering from the Frenzy of Fair we were involved in last week. I am sitting here trying to think of how to explain what lead me to the fair, not once, but TWICE, in one week. Really, I have nothing to say for myself. Mostly I blame Rosie, my housekeeper. Rosie cleans my house twice a month on Wednesday mornings, in order to keep me from divorcing my husband arguing with Mark about the division of labor in our . . .
Wednesday’s Child: Alice & David
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 . . .
Life Lately
Please share before this gets deleted. It's what they don't want you to know. God bless America. 🙏🇺🇸🙏 I’ve gone to the same Cuban restaurant for 20 years now for Mother’s Day but they are temporarily closed due to COVID-19. We missed our patio table at @restauranthabana but made due with some Cuban takeout. #youcantakethegirloutofflorida Happy Mother’s Day to the moms quarantining with their kids. Who have become homeschool principals, household IT managers, chief sanitizers, google . . .
A coupon for everyone who forgot Mother’s Day was this weekend
Pssst. Hey dads. In this blur of Groundhog Days that is quarantine, it's easy to loose track of what date it is. Mother's Day is this Sunday! AS IN TWO DAYS FROM NOW. And the kids are not in school to make a cute homemade craft. It's all on you, man. In case shopping feels daunting and you are at a loss for what to give, may I suggest Rage Against the Minivan? It's a humor memoir about motherhood, and the moms who have read it tell me it made them laugh, made them cry, and made them feel less . . .
Hand-me-downs in Haiti | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from July 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from July 2009. Getting new pictures of Keanan . . . it's better than Christmas. He is getting so big. In this picture, he is wearing one of Jafta's old shirts. There is something bittersweet about seeing him in his brother's hand-me-downs, yet so many miles away from us. It makes me long to hold him even more. No update to report. I believe our file is still stuck in IBESR - the very first stage of the process (our file . . .

Racism and Sunburns: Lessons from Skippygate | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from July 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from July 2009. It seems like every major news outlet has been weighing in on the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Gates. Someone observed Gates trying to break into his home (having lost his keys), the police were called, tensions mounted, and he was arrested on charges of disturbing the peace. Now, the question on everyone’s minds: Was Gates a victim of racial profiling? As usual, the answers to this question seem widely . . .
