Wednesday’s Child: Joziah and Kystelle
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.

Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more . . .
Teaching Tolerance | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from April 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from April 2009. Last night the news covered the story of an 11-year-old who committed suicide due to relentless bullying about his sexual orientation. Again - he was ELEVEN YEARS OLD. The news program I watched featured a myriad of resources for parents of children who might be bullied. But for me, I think this is a wake-up call to ALL parents, to make sure that our children are not the ones committing acts of bullying and hate to other . . .

The Ugly, revisited | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from April 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from April 2009. So when I blogged about my nesting frenzy, I got a little lost in describing my label-making efforts, and completely forgot to write about the truly ugly part. The part where I lost all self-control and spent upwards of of the price of two Kindles on random crap at Amazon.com. You see, I have a wee bit of anxiety about how I will manage to get any errands done with three kids. Getting to the store is already a struggle, and . . .

Nesting: The Good, The Bad, and the Labeled | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from April 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from April 2009. I have been feeling really crappy though most of this pregnancy, but this week I got a burst of energy that defied the immobility and exhaustion that have been hallmarks of the last few months. I am finally at full-term, and something kicked into gear. I feel physically better, and I feel motivate to GET S#!$ DONE. And not just in a normal, let's complete a task kind of way. More like a compulsive, tweaking, crystal-meth-fueled . . .
