Hi, Sugars!
I've been crazy-busy-swamped lately. I have the adult acne breakout and a dwindling chocolate stash to prove it.
You can read Why My Kids Didn't Get an iPad for Their Birthdays (Again) over at Babble, Disney's parenting site. Maybe some of you can relate to my iPhone addiction?
I've also been writing for Scary Mommy. My latest piece is 9 Things I Wish People Would Stop Saying to My Black Children. Whew. The comments on that post are polarizing...to say the least. What do you think? (And if you haven't read it yet, check out my Scary Mommy article shared by Huffington Post Parents: We're a Real Family, Thank You Very Much)
I've also been contributing regularly over at adoption.net. I want you to know, if you are experiencing adoption burnout, you aren't alone. Silence is one way to respond to racial ignorance in adoption. Do you have any popular adoption sayings you cannot stand? Here's a list of mine (and why they are EW!).
The best news...
My third book is coming out this spring (co-authored with the talented and wise Madeleine Melcher). Madeleine is a mother by adoption (x3) and an adoptee, as well as an adoption profile creation specialist, and author. And let me tell you, there is nothing else like our book on the market. It's the book I wish I would have had in my hands when I started on our adoption journey over seven years ago. I CANNOT WAIT TO SHARE IT WITH YOU! The encouragement you will receive from this book is going to be mind-blowing, invigorating, and necessary.
Back to mothering my three baby sugars and polishing the manuscript! And figuring out what's for dinner....and sorting laundry....

I just finished 'come rain or come shine' and I LOVED it. I cannot wait to see what your next book will be. I've been lurking here on your blog and thought I should finally comment.
