Life Lately

July 8, 2019

  Pink hair don’t care Another fun 4th block party in the books. 4th’s of the past. #TBT My inner monologue every single day. When there were three. #TBT Tough day at theater camp. #stagemakeup@segerstromarts Love is a minivan you never wanted shoved up-to-the-front-seat full with skate ramps you found on Craigslist and spent your day picking up so you could surprise them when they got home. #skatemom > #stagemom (just kidding I’m totally both.) . . .

The Ten Commandments for Little League Moms | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from March 2009.

July 4, 2019

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from March 2009. I did not grow up in an athletic household. We were what you might call an "artsy fartsy" family. I am much more familiar with ballet shoes and chord charts than I am with cleats and shin guards. The whole concept of being a "sports mom" is both intimidating and a little foreign to me. I am quickly learning what this all means for my life (and free time) for the next 18 years. Jafta has been in t-ball for about three weeks, . . .

Wednesday’s Child: Six Siblings

July 3, 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.

Like an alcoholic in a bar | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from March 2009.

June 27, 2019

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from March 2009. I have to drive by it several times a week. When I see the building, I have a physiological reaction. My pulse starts racing, my adrenaline pumps, and I get giddy with anticipation. Usually, I restrain myself. Nothing good will come from going in there, I repeat in my mind. I know me. I know I will lose control. I know I will give over to the temptations that await me inside Room and Board. And yet, that temptation pulls me . . .
