QOES: Making phone calls, going to the post office, and other challenges of adulting
For the most part, I feel like I am a fully functioning adult. I can hold down a job, I can pay my bills, I can update the registration on my car. I can do grown-up things. But then there are those small things that just feel so daunting. Like making a phone call. I will go to great lengths to avoid a phone call. Throughout this entire home renovation my basic criteria for hiring service people was "do they have an email address?"But having to cold call a business? It's JUST TOO . . .

A conversation about racism with my six-year-old
On Monday, I shared some movie ideas for starting a conversation about the civil rights movement with kids.

It's a great movie about a loving family with the backdrop of real events in the civil rights movement, but there were some troubling scenes, including one of African Americans being attacked by police with dogs and fire hoses, and another of the church being bombed. It was a great movie for my . . .

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.

What I've learned from using Blue Apron
This post was sponsored by Blue Apron. For about a year now, I have received Blue Apron recipes twice a week. I don't get them every week. There are some weeks that are so busy that life circumstances don't allow for much cooking, and I can easily skip those weeks. But I really do love the weeks where we are not as scheduled, and I time allows me to cook. I have talked about the advantages of Blue Apron in the past, and I still feel the same way. The convenience factor is huge, especially for . . .
