Spoke too soon | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from May 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from May 2009. I haven't had a lot of energy to blog lately, and more than a lack of time, it's really been trying to avoid talking endlessly about breastfeeding on my blog. I mean, I do realize that most people are not sitting around waiting to read a story about nursing, much less wanting to hear about things like engorgement or proper latching or leakage. Trouble is, this is leaving me very little to blog about. Because somehow, in . . .
Life Lately
Sporting some new gear from our friend’s @letsbekindday campaign. ❤️❤️ It’s the day of the show, y’all. http://bit.ly/elfcostamesa The cast came off. And apparently, so did his melanin. We are now calling this his “biracial arm” 😂 (I think it pairs nicely with his David Rose rings.) One of the things I talk about in my book is learning to let myself off the hook. In this season of life, I am the napkin underdog. I will not be providing adorable crafts for the . . .

the photo shoot | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from May 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from May 2009. Nancy and Sarah hooked me up with a photo session for Karis with Christine Hobson, an amazingly talented photographer. She came over on Sunday and turned our house into a photo studio. She is so good with babies and knows how to keep them sleeping while snapping all kinds of poses. Here is a photo of her doing her thing: And here are some of the results: These are just proofs from her blog, . . .
Wednesday’s Child: Alejandra, Xzavier and Jayden
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
Real talk: I’m over taking phones or grounding my kids as consequences for stupid behavior because those things both punish ME. My new philosophy for consequences is to ask: 1. What can they learn from, and 2. How can they serve me. I’ve also been making a habit of long YouTube playlists that fit the issue. Ted Talks, motivational speeches, educational programming ... and I make it LONG and related to what they are struggling with. They they write an essay on what they learned. Also, . . .

Yo Mama | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from April 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from April 2009 If only I had seen this ad campaign from American Apparel, the totally confusing and overpriced artsy/hipster clothing brand that all the cool kids are wearing these days. Turns out they make maternity! I could have been wearing a comfy and flattering one-piece for the last nine months. WITH leg warmers. This would have looked so awesome to wear to work. Okay, for real. Someone explain this to me, because I am too old. . . .
