On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from October 2008. 1. I brush my teeth and floss a lot. Some might call it obssessive. 2. I hate fish. I hate seeing them, I hate smelling them, I hate eating them. People are always offering me a bite of their entree and saying "try this, it's not fishy". And I always think it's disgusting. 3. I start to go a little crazy when I haven't been out of the US a few times a year. I don't know why. Oh wait, yes I do. My dad is the same . . .
From skate gear to formal wear: how my teen boys clean up with style
This post is sponsored by Mirum in partnership with AXE and Walmart. I love the social skills my boys learn in cotillion. But formal interactions and dancing with girls, as well as getting dressed up in formal-wear, can be intimidating for a tween. And shifting gears from dropping in on the half-pipe to learning the fox-trot can make any kid anxious. How do I help my boys go from skate-mode to gentleman-mode with style? Axe makes it easy with products and scents that make them . . .
Wednesday’s Child: Zoey
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 . . .

MAKING SPACE FOR YOUR OWN THOUGHTS: AN INTERVIEW WITH LISA LEONARD | SELFIE, EPISODE 56
Subscribe via Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | Google | IHeartRadio Lisa Leonard talks with us about how she tries to make space every day to listen to her own thoughts, the psychological pull of “scrolling” and how she sets intentions around it, and how she is learning to identify her own needs and speak them out loud.

Finding my footing after divorce
Over the past three months I went through the process of sitting for my licensing exams to be a marriage and family therapist. You may be thinking . . . wasn’t she already licensed? Yes, I was. I was in private practice for over a decade, before I had kids, and before I started a blog. I loved being in private practice. I liked my colleagues, I liked that the job was challenging and cerebral, and I loved that I could set my own hours and work part-time for a decent wage. One of the things . . .

What’s Taking So Long in Haiti? || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from October 2008.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from October 2008. People are always asking me why our adoption is taking so long. It is such a hard question to answer. How do you explain the insanity of Haiti adoption? It's a place with absolutely no infrastructure, poor communication, every-changing rules, and absurd corruption. The hoops for completing a legal adoption are almost laughable. Except you've been waiting too long to laugh. Our orphange director John was writing about one . . .
