On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from July 2009. I took my kids to the fair today, in a rare moment of sponteneity and self-sacrifice (being usually rather controlling and self-serving). I've always hated the fair, and let's just say that going alone with three small children did not make the heart grow fonder. Lots of fun stuff to write about, but I am exhausted. So for now, I will repost my feelings from last year's fair. Which have not changed. In the least. - - - - - - . . .
Wednesday’s Child: Jason
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 . . .

Spotting the Signs of Addiction in Your Teen
Today's post is a guest post by Dr. Nancy Irwin in partnership with Seasons in Malibu As our children enter their teens, their independence and self-control should grow together as they prepare for adulthood. These natural changes are important for our children and prepare them for the decision-making skills they will need in the future. As with all new skills, practice and early mistakes are part of the learning process. By this, I mean that kids make mistakes, and as parents we use . . .
Two hours from Miami . . . | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from July 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from July 2009. The island of Haiti is such a devastating place. We feel connected to it, especially since we are trying to bring a child home. It is always on our hearts and minds, and there are some days where I am just overwhelmed by the difficulty these people face on a daily basis. Truly, I don't think any of us can fathom what hardships are faced by those living in Haiti. This was one of those weeks where several stories broke my . . .

This year Kembe floated the best eggs out into the middle of the pool. I think we might be doing this tradition into their adulthood. 😂 A post shared by Kristen Howerton (@kristenhowerton) on Apr 12, 2020 at 3:34pm PDT I made everyone dress up today. We set the . . .
