Send to KindleDuring tragedies like yesterday’s tornadoes in Oklahoma, all we want to do is reach out and help in any way we can. Location and circumstances often prevent us from providing that help person-to-person, but there are other ways we can show our love, support, and solidarity. The #TXBloggers (Texas Bloggers) are coming together [...]

Send to Kindle Yesterday afternoon I felt like baking. I know. It’s weird that someone who hates to cook likes to bake. Well, I make no promises that what I bake is good (although, my expanding body will tell you it’s GOOD ENOUGH).

Send to KindleThey are, at the same time, both the delight and the scourge of San Antonio parents. Melanie included a whole section about her daughter’s in her new book, Sparkly Green Earrings.

Send to KindleAh, Sulia. I love writing for Sulia, in part because I receive a small honorarium for what I write there, but also because the format on this latest social network is longer than a tweet but shorter than a blog post. It’s perfect for writing quick pieces about news, ideas, and observations. It’s [...]

Send to KindleWhen my daughter, Delaney, was two, she fell in love with the Grinch — the cartoon version, not the Jim Carrey version (‘Cause I’m a GOOD parent, y’all. We waited until she was three to show her that version. Duh.). Her grandma sent her a stuffed Grinch for Christmas that year and she [...]
