I’m not clueless. I know time is flying by. I know I’m going to blink and they’ll be off dating, studying for college finals and climbing the career ladder. So when they invite me into their world, their world of imagination, adventure and excitement, I don’t walk, I run into it. These pictures may just [...]

I don’t know if you’ve seen this latest add from Target, but I LOVE it. It features the adorable little kid named Ryan who has Down syndrome. Time Magazine reports… Target cast Ryan in its latest children’s clothing ad, and Nordstrom featured him in a campaign several months ago. Notably, Target did not publicize his [...]

Developing a intimate relationship with each one of my boys is something I work really hard at. I’m increasingly learning that each one of them is so unique. I’ve noticed that with each one of them there seems to be an environment where they are more apt to be open to significant conversations. I call [...]

The article released online yesterday by Time Magazine said… Almost 40% of kids attempting suicide make their first try in middle or even elementary school, according to research that suggests that kids who think they want to kill themselves are considering it long before previously assumed.

I thought I’d heard it all, but this is so over the top, it left me standing there shocked. You would probably have to be living under a rock to not have heard about the San Francisco mother who’s been injecting her 8 year-old daughter, Britney, with Botox to minimize her “wrinkles.” Yes, you read [...]

Growing up I had a Sunday School teacher that was quite fond of reminding us that we were all a work in progress. While I can’t absolutely prove it I’m pretty sure she had a song that went a long with this concept. I really wish spiritual transformation wasn’t such a process. I’m tired [...]

Posted by Brandi Wilson Thought it might be nice to hop over here and say “Hi y’all” while Pete’s 9,000 miles away eating lots of curry saturated Indian cuisine. As much as we’re missing him at home we’re so proud of all he’s doing to help make an impact in Kolkata by sharing a message [...]
