In stories I’m sharing the KN95 masks we’ve been wearing, and also talked about the surge happening here in our community, which sparked a convo about COVID shame (especially for folks that have been really careful thus far and are catching it anyway.) It seemed to resonate with a lot of folks. Sharing some of those responses in my stories as well. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kristen Howerton . . .

WHAT’S THE PROTOCOL FOR DECLINING PLAYDATES? | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MAY 2011.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MAY 2011. Yesterday Kembe came home from school with a really sweet note from the parents of another boy in his class. I’ll call him Aidan. The note said that Aidan talks about Kembe all the time, and really wants to have him over for a playdate.

Wednesdays Child: Tristan
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 . . .

India’s travel outfit yesterday was fashion goals but also probably could have gotten her access to work with the flight maintenance crew. After a lot of pivoting, stressing, and hand-wringing, we arrived in New York just in time for a Christmas dinner of takeout pizza.

THE BEDROOM AS METAPHOR FOR THE NEGLECTED INNER SANCTUARY | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MAY 2011.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MAY 2011. A couple weeks ago, I was talking with some other bloggers about our messy bedrooms. We all had a couple things in common: we all write about our lives on the internet, we are all relative perfectionists, we all keep the front of our homes neat and tidy, and we all have secret shame about the state of our own rooms. We laughed about the ways we divert people from ever entering our rooms, and confessed our mortification over . . .
