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 . . .

That’s What SHE Said with R. Eric Thomas
I'm absolutely giddy to be talking with one of my favorite authors. R. Eric Thomas and I are talking about the weird world of writing on the internet, finding the balance between writing about humor and pop culture and also writing about social justice issues, and of course . . . our mutual love of the theater. This episode was recorded a few weeks ago, and as we discussed how we've tried to engage people on issues of racial justice, little did we know it would soon be a national conversation. . . .

Last day for pre-order bonuses with Rage Against the Minivan
One of the bonuses for anyone who preorders my book is the chapter (booklet?) about parenting in a pandemic. It's longer than a chapter. I had a lot to say. I talk about the psychological effects, the startling shared experience of teaching our kids at home, and the continued need to let ourselves off the hook in this unique period in time. I'm sharing today because IT IS THE LAST DAY TO GET THIS. My book launches tomorrow, but if you buy it today, you get this chapter as a digital . . .

The reality of white privilege
I'm usually not one to dwell on negative comments here but I wanted to address this one because I think it's important. I used to bristle at the term "white privilege" too. I did a lot of reading and learning, and I shared some of that in my book ((which you can order here) and wanted to share some of that here, for anyone struggling with this idea. Here's an excerpt: "I initially heard the phrase “white privilege” in my twenties. I didn’t like it. How could I be privileged? I paid . . .
Touristy | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2009. My sister, her husband, and their 15-month-old daughter have been visiting with us this week. It has been so great to have them out - it's been way too long. The last time they came out was right after I had India (when I took a road trip to Vegas with a 4-week-old. 'Cause I like to keep it classy like that). This was a much more mellow trip, although we are all a bit sleep deprived. My three kids shared a room while they . . .
