One recent Thursday, I sent my 14- and 15-year-old boys off to the skate park near our house. I’m a parent who values a childhood lived outdoors. To that end, I’ve been a fairly free-range mom with my four kids, but as they left for the park, I gave them a warning that still feels foreign, even eight months into this pandemic. “Leave your masks on!” They both gave a nod of agreement and were off. In the beforetime, rather than a mask reminder, I would have told them when I expected them home, . . .
Wednesday’s Child: 12-year-old Christian
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 . . .

Dwelling on Design | On Thursday’s I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From July 2010.
On Thursday's I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From July 2010. I’ve been trying to find the time to sit down and write out my weekend, and here it is almost Thursday. I’ve been distracted this week with filling out a mountain of paperwork for Jafta’s kindergarten application. How in the world do I have a child old enough to go to kindergarten? Jafta got to have a look at the school today and he said as we were leaving, “I think this place is going to be very positive for me“. I really . . .

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kristen Howerton (@kristenhowerton) Our holiday “bucket list” basically consists of crafts as a vehicle for eating more sugar, and cheesy holiday movies and binging The Office. 👍 Karis’s coffee habit is so bad that she has resorted to drinking straight out of the French press with a straw. (It’s decaf at least?) View this post . . .

IN BETTER NEWS | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MAY 2010.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MAY 2010. – We got to hang out with the Livesays this weekend. They live in Haiti and we’ve gotten to know them over the past few years, and we experienced the earthquake together. They’ve also become dear friends. The last time I saw Tara was during a tearful goodbye as her kids and I pulled away from the Haitian embassy in an airport-bound SUV. It was nice to hang out under less stressful circumstances. They are speaking at a . . .
