Adoption Tale – No, My Daughter is Not From Ethiopia
I am re- running this post because I recently saw Alec Mapa on the View last week. You probably recognize him from his Ugly Betty role as the gossip reporter. Two funny hilarious points he made. He talked about his husband and 5-year-old foster /adopted son. “My husband’s white, I’m Asian, and my son is […]

New York City is a Small Town
The borough of Manhattan has 1.5 million people living in it. Scary, isn’t it? But on any given day, if you are a parent, you are bound to run into another parent over the course of the week and that excludes camp and school. This past week, I ran into a pre-school mom friend at […]
Therapy Thursday – Journaling and Summer Routine
Now that it’s summer, it seemed like the perfect time to tweak my daughter’s the rules and rewards chart. So instead of homework on her chart, we replaced it with either 20 minutes of reading, journaling (aka feelings journal) or working in her math workbook. Just like during the school year, doing her “work” is takes […]
