DO BOYS REALLY PLAY WITH TOYS? | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM OCTOBER 2011.

June 2, 2022

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM OCTOBER 2011. With the new school schedule, I have two days a week where I’m home with just India and Karis.  It’s . . . interesting. It’s so quiet.  And so easy.  I’ve actually been blown away by how different it is, and I think there is one main reason: My boys don’t play with toys.  My girls do. My girls will sit for hours and entertain themselves with toys.  They don’t need any prompting from me.  They create little stories.  They . . .

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 . . .

THE POST WHERE YOU PROVIDE ME WITH SOME FAQ’S I CAN ANSWER | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM OCTOBER 2011.

May 26, 2022

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM OCTOBER 2011. I had my blog re-designed about a year ago, and I added an FAQ page to the menu bar.  I’m not  really sure what I had planned for this page, I guess it just seemed like a good idea at the time.  If you click on it, you can see that I’ve really done a lot with it. Ahem. Anyways, I need to pull it together and create something a little more interesting.  Except that I don’t really have any frequently asked questions.  Well, . . .

Life Lately

May 16, 2022

Strategy sesh for our upcoming trip to Spain/Italy/France. Tried introducing them to a few choice European tapas. They were not a fan. But we did nail down the art galleries we want to see. My boys share my passion for trying regional foods. My girls share my passion for museums and theater. I’ll take it! View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Kristen Howerton . . .
