Grateful | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from June 2009.

January 23, 2020

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from June 2009. I've had a few friends who seemed a little concerned about me after my post on Monday. I'm thinking maybe I left the wrong impression. Life is hard right now, and I have never been one to hold back in talking about the realities of motherhood. But life is also really good. Even though I am juggling a lot right now, what I wanted to communicate is that I am learning to surrender to that fact that I can't always win. I suppose . . .

Wednesday’s Child – Kristian

January 22, 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 . . .

Life Lately

January 20, 2020

  Last night some Californians joined some Texans on a real working ranch and we had the time of our lives. Actual things said out loud: “This is like Disneyland!” “What do you call these? Cows?” “Can we make bacon with the wild boars?” Whatever. ATV’s and target shooting and campfires and whiskey ... this city girl is into it. Annual girl’s weekend. Also with boys. And a baby. Happy place. Karis, sharing her “highs and lows” at the dinner table ... . . .

Someone’s gonna lose | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from June 2009.

January 16, 2020

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from June 2009. I've been a mother to three small ones for six weeks now. This week, I seem to have kind of hit a wall. I'm so, so tired, The adrenaline has worn off, and the energy is waning. But the part that is really most frustrating to me is how little I am able to get done right now. For a type-A mama, ending the day with just as many items on the to-do list as I started with is NOT a great feeling. I'd been advised by lots of . . .
