RIP, MOUSE IN THE HOUSE | On Thursday’s I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From April 2010.

November 26, 2020

On Thursday's I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From April 2010. Last night we went to bed with a mouse precariously hanging from the shelf in the shower. We drifted off to peaceful sleep with the crack under the bathroom door barricaded by our two largest books (The Complete Works of Shakespeare, Unabridged, and The Holy Qur’an, With Translation and Commentary.) In the bathroom, we left behind the hanging mouse, a strategically placed piece of brie, and an electrical trap from Home . . .

Wednesday’s Child: Tyler

November 25, 2020

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 . . .

We almost puked. but we didn’t. | On Thursday’s I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From April 2010.

November 19, 2020

On Thursday's I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From April 2010. I went to the mall with the kids yesterday.  ALL FOUR KIDS.  I'm sure that this is an indication of a very small and sheltered life, but achieving this?  The feelings it inspired were similar to the feelings I had after running my first half-marathon.  If I can do this, I can do anything! I didn't intend to take them to the mall.  I had a small window with a babysitter.  But let me explain small windows with babysitters.  . . .

Talking with Adoptee and Adoptive Mom Jillian Lauren for National Adoption Month | Selfie Podcast Episode 153

November 18, 2020

Subscribe via Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | Google | IHeartRadio I'm talking adoption with my fellow adoptive mom (and adoptee herself) Jillian Lauren. We've been friends for a long time and both adopted internationally and also from foster care.

In this episode we talked about: Everything You Ever Wanted: . . .

Life Lately

November 16, 2020

  Crowding the #millionmagamarch feed with pancakes is petty goals. Hit like to push this to the top.       This was fun on twitter. Let's try it here. I'll go first: one-piece swimsuits, guys in skinny jeans and deep v-necks, Dollywood, spanking your kids in 2020, smoking hot wives, marriage conferences, boho fedoras . . . Trying to catch a ride on the wind with a skateboard and an umbrella. 😍😍   So the $500 used Subzero I found on Craigslist just . . .
