On Thursday's I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From March 2010. Back by popular demand (and by popular demand, I mean two people asked about it). In case you forgot, the purpose of Keeping It Real is as follows: I am reminded often that blogging has become a medium for us to present our "best selves": from detailing homemade crafts to posting stunning photos of our kids, a blog can become a show-and-tell for moms that glosses over the hard parts with good lighting and soft filters. . . .
Wednesday’s Child: Gabe and Carter
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 . . .

Life Lately
I'm ordering our holiday cards this week. Which ones should we choose? @Minted has some funny options and also some that are more artsy. We went with funny last year (because Jafta had a broken arm) but Lord knows this year needs some humor too. (And yes. I do this really early every year. Because I generally find the holiday season and stressful and this is one thing I can get out of the way in advance.) Shout-out to @stevecowell_photo who took this photos that I adore! . . .

Helper | On Thursday’s I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From March 2010.
On Thursday's I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From March 2010. Kembe takes his role as "helper" very seriously. Sometimes I have a hard time believing this kid is the same age as India, because he acts like such a little adult. One of his favorite pastimes is sweeping. I promise - he does this of his own will. And he is remarkably good at it. My other two kids like to pretend to sweep - they sort of push the broom around and then call it a day. Kembe is serious about it. He edges in from . . .

Brought to you by the letters i,k,j,k | On Thursday’s I post from the vault. This post is from March 2010.
On Thursday's I post from the vault. This post is from March 2010. Just after Karis was born, my friend Heather sent me a little homemade gift for our family. I've never even met her in person, which made it all the more generous. Heather is one of my co-writers at Mama Manifesto, and has her own gorgeous and creative blog at Cookie Mondays, Ice Cream Sundays.
