April 11, 2019

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from February 2009. There has been more and more baby talk around the house this month, as we start really preparing for her arrival. (And by her, I mean the "baby who has no name". Yeah. Still haven't decided). Less than two more months till d-day! YAY! We've moved India out of the crib and into a bed. The crib has been outfitted with a mobile and adjusted to the correct mattress height for an infant. India's closet has been taken over with . . .

Wednesday’s Child: Nick

April 10, 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 and to . . .

How to Salvage Leftover Night || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from February 2009.

April 4, 2019

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from February 2009.    A couple months ago, Mama Manifesto highlighted an idea we had seen on several other mommy blogs: Muffin Tin Monday. I must admit, I thought it was a cute idea, but I never got around to doing it. But . . . I found another great use for that muffin tin: leftover salvage. Last week, we had one of those nights where the fridge was full of single-serving leftovers that needed to be eaten. We had a half-full . . .
