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 . . .

“Mom is Fed Up” by Kristen Howerton (2023). Inkjet on paper. On display from the artist’s personal collection. Just put the dishes away, man. India wanted a sofa in her room so I moved the boys’ sofa into her room for a few days just to make sure it worked by in the space. The boys began protesting with “no sofa, no peace” until I returned it. A new sofa has arrived for India, and justice has been restored to the Howerton house. Happy #nationalsonsday to these two boys who bring so much . . .

INTERVIEW WITH TAYE DIGGS ABOUT HIS NEW BOOK “CHOCOLATE ME” | 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. Last week, I was asked to take part in a phone interview with Taye Diggs about his new children’s book called Chocolate Me. Yes . . . that Taye Diggs. I responded (perhaps too quicky?) and let his people know that I was a fangirl and a Renthead, and that I was really, really, super-duper dorky excited, and despite me acting like an adolescent girl about it, they still let me interview him. Let me explain my feelings . . .

Life Lately
Snapshots of early fall … we saw Weezer. Twice. The girls fangirled over dogs backstage. We tooled around San Diego for Labor Day. Kembe thrifted a Golden Girls shirt. My friend Fernanda celebrated a big birthday and the flan set. My friend Claire had a baby and we are all obsessed. Jafta is in college now and accidentally learned what happens if you put leather in the dryer. Karis is a cute cheerleader. India joined the school board. We all passed a not-COVID chest cold around the house for . . .

IS IT OKAY TO SKIP OUT ON SENDING THANK-YOU CARDS ON BEHALF OF SMALL CHILDREN? | 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 have an etiquette question, and I want you guys to be honest. You are going to pretend you are Emily Post and tell me what to do. Only, you’re going to be slightly less snooty, because we’re all living in the real world here. The deal is . . . my kid’s birthday party was nearly four months ago and I’ve yet to send out thank-you cards. We had a pretty big party, and there are two of them, and they got a rather large . . .

WAYS I DIDN’T SUCK IN 2011 (HOW ABOUT YOU?) | 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. Yesterday I wrote a little yearly recap on 2011, and I almost didn’t publish it because I was so frustrated with myself at seeing my resolutions from the beginning of the year. Then I began mulling over the post I would write where I would scold, prod, and shame myself into change . . . really put those shortcomings out there so I would HAVE to get my act together. Publicly sharing goals is vulnerable for me. Publicly . . .
