THE LUCKY HORSE THAT PEED | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM DECEMBER 2010.

July 1, 2021

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM DECEMBER 2010. In the spirit of our “go big or go home” 2010 holiday extravaganza, we took the kids to a little holiday fair tonight.  It was put on by our local crazy commune cult of crafters, and the hot event (next to the booth of teapot cozies) was the horse (pony? how can you tell?) carousel.  Jafta was thrilled to be able to ride a horse (pony?), but a long line meant that we stood watching other kids ride for a good portion of the . . .

Wednesday’s Child: Shaniya

June 30, 2021

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 . . .

A YEAR OF FIRSTS  | ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM NOVEMBER 2010. DId I forget to post a picture of my kids on Halloween?  Well, no time like the present.  Here they are in all of their fake-smile cuteness: I'm not really one for I'm not really one for decorating.  I am ambivelant about my mediocrity in this area.  Storage space is a precious commodity in my house, and so is my free time.  At the same time, I do . . .

June 21, 2021

Prime deals. Anyone finding good stuff?  1. The best deal I've seen yet is this hair dryer. I've talked about it a lot and I really do use it every day. It's $14 off and then if you pick the teal color it gives you an option to take another $10 off taking it down to $34. https://amzn.to/3vMrBrc 2. I love my ring camera, especially for seeing when packages are being dropped off or when someone is at the door and I don't want to answer. It's now $44(doiwn from $99) and comes with a free . . .
