Wednesday’s Child: John & Gabe

September 11, 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.

Life Lately

September 9, 2019

Mom Sudry Copons (mom surgery coupons). The kids came back yesterday, a couple hours after I got the packing removed, which was as gross as it sounds. Real talk: the packing was absolute misery. I knew the biggest hurdle in this surgery would not be pain, but managing my anxiety with my sinuses packed. And I did it. I had a couple panicked hours and I did a whole lot of meditative breathing. I was unable to tolerate any pain meds (opiates do not get along with my stomach) so I got through it . . .

They feel energized and organic. The look somehow sexier. They fit into their pre-pregnancy jeans before they drive home from the hospital. I have a few friends like this. Case in point: my friend Angela, at the hospital IN LABOR, wearing her high-heels and looking hot. And then there's the . . .

Soothing Tips for Flu Season

September 5, 2019

This post was sponsored by Lolleez and Tumeez, organic remedies in the form of lollipops. Made by Momeez Choice, and founded by a mom of four, they are a delicious and effective way to make everyone’s sick day a little easier. My kids have finally gone back to school, and while I'm thrilled to have the predictable time to work each day that the school year brings, it also brings cold and flu season. With four active and social kids, we are usually hit with a bug or two every fall. It's nearly . . .
