This post was sponsored by True Advisory Group It's always heartening for me to learn of businesses that are tailoring services to meet the needs of adoptive and foster families specifically, so when True Advisory Group reached out to me, the story of their principal caught my attention. Last year Greg Bianco became the sudden foster father to five children, age 7 and under. He spent 10+ years in financial services, and since the kids came home, his business life has transformed just as . . .

Circle of cuz | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from June 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from June 2009. I wasn't close with cousins growing up. My mom was an only child. My dad's sister had children but they lived far away and we only saw them occasionally. So it has been a new experience to be an aunt and know a close relationship with my neices and nephews. I have to say that seeing the love that my kids have for each other, and seeing their love for their cousins, is enough to make this cynical mom's heart burst with . . .

Wednesday’s Child:
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.

Why I’m voting for Elizabeth Warren
I've given a lot of thought into who to vote for in the primary, and I've landed on Elizabeth Warren for a few reasons: 1. As a mom of a former foster youth who has a form of Medicare for insurance, I am very familiar with the system and think it should be available to all citizens (just as healthcare is available to citizens in most other developed countries.) I am a strong proponent of a single-payer health insurance system, and I do not believe it works if we leave for-profit insurance . . .

Operation grocery acquisition #2: total disaster | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from June 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from June 2009. I am trying so hard not to be Chaotic Mom. You know her: she's the mom who is sweating at the restaurant as her unruly children run circles around the table, or the mom with screaming and kicking kids on the plane. She's the mom on Supernanny. The mom you don't want to stand next to in line. The one whose kids make a scene at the grocery store. And today, she is me. Oh, I had the best of intentions. After my last grocery . . .
