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 . . .
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 . . .

I had a big meeting for my book the first day, and then spent the rest of my time apparently eating my way through the city. I got to see some dear local friends and my nephew, and also hang with some other friends who were in town. I toured General Seminary and felt the Lord call me to go . . .

Baby Fat | 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. Parenting a newborn is hard. One major plus about adopting is that you aren't simultaneously dealing with the ego blow of having your body morphed beyond recognition after a pregnancy. I truly believe that the weight gain aspect is one of the unmentioned curses of childbearing. Your world is already being rocked with a crying baby, no sleep, breastfeeding woes, and an end to freedom as you know. Let's tack on top of that the . . .
