An easy hack for getting those photos in albums this holiday season

November 17, 2022

This was certainly true for me. And most people just don't have the time to transfer those photos into an album. Shortcake does all the heavy lifting. You can designate a social account and they will pull the photos, get rid of irrelevant photos (like that photo of your Chipotle burrito or that meme . . .

MOM2.0 CONFERENCE RECAP | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM APRIL 2011.

November 17, 2022

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM APRIL 2011. I’m back from another blogging conference.  Mom 2.0 was a great conference.  Really great.  But I just don’t know how to recap a conference without saying the same thing I’ve said after every conference I’ve attended.  Conferences are such a wall of overwhelm for me, and even I’m tired of hearing myself repeat how much angst and anxiety they cause.  But just to recap, here are some of the emerging themes from this . . .

Wednesday’s Child: 12-year-old twins ready to find stability

November 16, 2022

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 . . .

SPONTANEOUS EMERGENCE OF PROGLOTTIDS FROM THE ANAL SPHINCTER | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MARCH 2011.

November 10, 2022

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MARCH 2011. I’m gonna go ahead and call it.  In the contest of “most awkward google search term ever”, I win.  For all of time, I win.  This was what I discovered in my search term analytics today:  (Spontaneous emergence of proglottids from the anal sphincter. Leading to this post.)* Confession: My involvement with Blogher means that, on occasion, my post titles show up on the sidebar of other blogs.  Several of those blogs are . . . . .
