I got this cool handcrafted canoe dish, and I thought it’d be fun to put blue, purple, and green polished stones in it!

A friend had a wonderful suggestion.

Drown out the address Trump plans to give tonight with a Rob Reiner movie marathon!

Which one will you start with?

If he was actually going to tell the truth about all of his "accomplishments" this would be the shortest address ever. 🙄

Don't watch this. Low ratings would hurt worse to him than basically anything else.

Can someone explain why “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is supposedly a diagnosis for people who oppose Donald Trump—rather than for the people who have turned him into an entire lifestyle?

If derangement means obsession, fixation, and the collapse of self into a single political figure… it’s MAGA!

My daughter asked tonight if we could have a family dinner date out over Winter Break.

I added some gift cards to a place we'd love to treat them if you want to help.

Full disclosure: My Avery girl asked tonight if we could all have a family dinner date out together over Winter Break, so I added some gift cards to a place we'd love to take them in case anyone wants to help make that happen.

No expectation, but full of gratitude for everything y'all have done. ❤️🎄

$30 clears the rest of these gift cards!

While our needs are far from over, we will be able to relax for a bit and celebrate a wonderful Christmas together, despite illness and financial stress. That can be January's problem.

Some Head Start early childhood programs are being told by the federal government to remove a list of nearly 200 words and phrases from their funding applications or face denial.

The words include "accessible," "belong," "Black," "disability," "female," "minority," "trauma," "tribal" and "women."

Head Start centers told to avoid 'disability,' 'women' and more in funding requests

New court documents reveal a list of nearly 200 words or phrases the Trump administration told Head Start programs it does not want to see in their funding requests.
