ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2012. For the last couple months, I’ve been in a bit of a funk about our house. It seems like my level of contentment about our house ebbs and flows, and every so often I find myself feeling very claustrophobic and ready to move to a prairie in Idaho or something. As the kids are getting bigger, the house is feeling smaller . . . and it wasn’t exactly big to begin with. Our mid-century house is just over 1300 square feet, and . . .
Wednesday’s Child – Jareth
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 . . .
DOES LOVE REQUIRE WORK? | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2012.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2012. My friend Tracey wrote an interesting post about love today (you can read her post about making love work here). It spurred some interesting discussion in the comment section, and one commenter theorized that if love feels like work, it’s probably not going to work. I think this is an interesting question : is it really “love’” if it feels like work? I will confess, I have some strong opinions on this one, but I think it . . .

PHONE PHOTO DUMP, MID-JANUARY 2012 | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2012.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2012. One of the things I love about my kids is that they love to dress up. The girls spend most of their days at home in one costume or another. (And if not in a costume, Karis is usually in a diaper). Every day they find new and more creative ways to give me anxiety. Lately they’ve taken to using our headboard as a diving board. How we’ve never been to the ER is a question for the ages. New Year’s goal: go to the beach . . .

THE SLACKER MOM’S GUIDE TO HOMEMADE PHOTO CARDS FOR VALENTINE’S DAY | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2012.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2012. I’m not really a “handmade card” kind of mom. I think it’s lovely that other moms are, but at this stage in our family there is usually just not enough time in the day for me to indulge in my creative side . . . beyond staring at the things other people are doing on Pinterest. With Valentine’s Day approaching, though, I did decide to make some homemade cards, inspired in part by cards like this one. But, if I’m to be . . .
