My 2018 holiday cards with Minted

November 29, 2018

There are so many great options for holiday photo cards, but I’m a big fan of Minted because their cards are sourced from a global community of independent graphic designers. Their cardstock is thick and includes a recycled option, and their designs are fresh and modern. But a huge draw for me is that they will print your recipient’s address on the envelope at no additional charge. You can upload a file with your addresses and they save it to your account so year after year, you no longer have . . .

November 29, 2018

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from November 2008. No, this isn't the name of a new emo band. Jafta and I are, unfortunately, the asthmatics. Asthma is a weird thing.

(Jafta watching Baby Einstein with his nebulizer at 7 months old) Having grown up with asthma, I know how . . .

Wednesday’s Child: 12-year-old Lashonda

November 28, 2018

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 . . .

Medicine Cabinet Essentials

November 28, 2018

This post is sponsored by CHOC Children’s Navigating what medications to administer at home can be stressful. Most parents want to have their medicine cabinet stocked appropriately, but knowing the right products is not always as easy. I talked with Dr. Rei Tosu, a pediatrician from CHOC Children’s, to hear an expert opinion on what parents should have on hand in their family medicine cabinet. My first question was about thermometers, as the technology and variety of thermometers seems to . . .

Going through a divorce has been the single most difficult transition in my life. It’s not a path I ever wanted to walk and the effects have been far-reaching, from my finances to my social life to my physical health.
