I’ve just uploaded a NEW EPISODE of A Fostered Life Podcast! This is Part One of a two-part interview with Tonya Foulkrod, Executive Director of Three Strands, part of the Family Restoration Coalition in Austin, TX. I loved hearing about how she went from being a foster mom who was a little scared of her foster baby’s mama to being a full-time advocate for #reunification and #familypreservation. Listen on iTunes (link in bio) or wherever you access your favorite podcasts!! #afosteredlifepodcast #podcast #fostercarepodcast #fostercare #fosterparenting
Self Care.
I’ve been hosting a weekly Art Club at my kids’ elementary school for the past two months. Here are some pictures from today’s club with 2nd & 3rd graders. I love kids! I love their enthusiasm and creativity 🎨
Join me for my first ever #instagramlive in about 50 minutes! 10:00 AM (PST) I’ll be here and on #FacebookLive. See you then! [UPDATED TO ADD: Watch the replay on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/afosteredlife!]
I did *such* a good job at @costco yesterday. I was laser focused. I was on task. I stuck to my list. I was a machine. Until... THERE WAS A GIANT TRAY OF BAKLAVA. Baklava is my kryptonite. I’m powerless against it. When I was a little girl, I used to visit my Grandma’s home on W 7 Mile Rd in Detroit, and her neighbor across the street was a Greek woman named Mrs. Giamalis. I used to sit in her kitchen and watch her big, strong arms sweeping over the philo dough as she made huge trays of baklava. Then I would eat *so much* of it. (I was too young to know it was rude to gorge myself on her freshly made baklava. But I think she loved how much I loved it!) This baklava is, of course, a mere shadow of the quality of Mrs. Giamalis’s baklava. But still—its baklava 😋😋😋 It’s a *very* good thing tonight is #mondaynightdinnerparty. Otherwise I would be compelled to eat the entire tray by myself after the #kidsareinbed 😂 😋 WHAT’S YOUR LATEST COSTCO IMPULSE BUY???
Zooing It. #zoo #zooingit
