NAKED PHOTOS FOR ANIMALS, QUINOA, AND NON-TEEN PREGNANCIES | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM AUGUST 2011.

April 13, 2023

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM AUGUST 2011. I’ve got some new posts up around the internets.  Here’s a little pimping: On MamaPop, I talk about Hilary Duff’s recently pregnancy announcement, and the fact that I felt all sad for her being a teenager until I read that she IS IN HER TWENTIES AND MARRIED.  And then, as a public service, I give a little primer on other pop starts that I still think of as teens who are now all grown up.  And then I go back to watching CNN. . . .

Wednesday’s Child – Ryan

April 12, 2023

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 . . .

Life Lately

April 10, 2023

Still doing the girls vs boys Easter egg hunt, with increasing competitiveness each year …. View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Kristen Howerton (@kristenhowerton) Always fun acting like tourists in our own town when family visits. Jafta performed in his first (and last) school play this weekend and it was so fun watching him. He played the mayor in Bye Bye Birdie … a role my own dad . . .

THIS WEEK IN IPHONE PHOTOS: BLOGHER EDITION | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM AUGUST 2011.

April 6, 2023

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM AUGUST 2011. This past week was BlogHer, so before I left I had a little mani-pedi session with India, in a joint effort to both make my feet presentable and assuage my guilt for leaving for the weekend. After learning that hotel parking was $26 a night, I decided to take the train down to San Diego.  It ended up being really relaxing, and I had a chance to chat with Ciaran and assemble some of my marketing materials for the . . .

March 30, 2023

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM AUGUST 2011. I’m back from a whirlwind weekend at BlogHer in San Diego, and while I’m itching to share stories and photos, I’m also up to my eyeballs in unpacking, writing deadlines, and repacking.  (That’s right.  We are scheduled to leave for a family vacation four days after I returned home from BlogHer.  Smart planning, right there.)   While you wait with baited breath for that BlogHer recap, here are some other things I wrote: Over . . .
