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 . . .

Mommy, look at the brown boy! || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from July 2008
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from July 2008. As a transracial family in a vanilla county, we hear these kind of comments every now and then, especially from other preschool-aged kids. This week, we heard on two different occasions. No biggie: it is perfectly normal for a child of that age to notice color. I mean, they are just learning colors and pointing it out is just an observation. I am NEVER offended by children making such comments. In fact, it can open up great . . .
Surpisingly Painless
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Esurance. The opinions and text are all mine. I'm trying hard to get my kids proficient in the kitchen. I didn't grow up really learning to cook, and I don't think I could properly chop an onion until my 30's. I want my kids to leave home with a basic set of cooking skills, and a couple easy meals they can make for themselves or for friends. I've been attempting to have each of my older three cook a meal independently . . .

Life Lately
It’s funny how little traditions can pop up on vacations in less than a week. Ours became taking a blanket down to the beach and playing games while we watched the sunset. (And of course, virgin drinks at the bar at happy hour.) Last night of summer vacation. Games on the beach. Only one kid on a phone. ? I sure do like these people. I asked the guide if the horses would be safe for kids and he said “we’ll see.” That maybe should have been a clue to how the rides would go. We . . .

Getting Real || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from July 2008.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from July 2008. Angel over at Voice of Adventure just posted this challenge on her blog: The truth is I am SICK, SICK, SICK of people feeling all alone because they think everyone else is less screwed up than them. It's ridiculous. We all have our times we are flying high and our times we are doing a nose dive. Why do we all pretend? It's all a pack of lies wrapped in a bunch of arrogance. So I am going to give it my best shot and TRY to get . . .
