Yo Mama | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from April 2009.

November 14, 2019

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from April 2009 If only I had seen this ad campaign from American Apparel, the totally confusing and overpriced artsy/hipster clothing brand that all the cool kids are wearing these days. Turns out they make maternity! I could have been wearing a comfy and flattering one-piece for the last nine months. WITH leg warmers. This would have looked so awesome to wear to work. Okay, for real. Someone explain this to me, because I am too old. . . .

Wednesday’s Child: Faith and Ricky

November 13, 2019

  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 . . .

This is an outrage!! (white people problems) | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from April 2009.

November 7, 2019

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from April 2009   The other day, a letter came home from my son's preschool urging the parents to take action. The title of the letter was "This is an outrage!!". I was pretty curious to read it, since they rarely send non-preschool related letters home. What on earth could be so big a deal? As it turns out: suburban parking. My son's school is in a really nice, very expensive area of Orange County. (We do not live in this . . .

How the UPS man saved the day | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from April 2009.

October 24, 2019

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from April 2009. There are some days as a stay-at-home mom where I wake up and wonder how I'm gonna entertain the kids for the entire day. At 40+ weeks pregnant, that is my dilemma pretty much every day. Enter our dashing UPS guy, who delivered a large box with a lot of bubble wrap (and a breast pump, but I didn't let the kids play with that). The kids spent the first part of the day playing with the bubble wrap. They popped it . . .

Corrective emotional experience | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from April 2009.

October 17, 2019

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from April 2009. There is a whole school of therapy based on the premise that people just need empathy for their childhood wounds. The assumption is that most parents are unable to give empathy or apologize to their children for things that are difficult, which leaves them with a gaping hole that a therapist can fix by providing a corrective emotional experience in adulthood. I have seen a lot of people come to therapy with the underlying issue . . .
