MomTV's Adoption Angles

Will not be airing this evening due to a little Princess' transition week. Don't despair.. we'll be back next Wednesday at 9PM EST!

:o)

It's A Brand New Day...

And a big, interesting world..

I Fought A Disney Princess Toddler Bed...

And Won!!

(Barely..)

On Friday night armed with nothing more than my tools from the junk drawer and a Mic Ultra Lite I proceeded into battle (er, assembly) of the bed in JuneBug's room. I went in prepared and had read the reviews.. most loved the bed but many had the same two complaints:

1) Missing Parts..

(Nope.. I'm good!)

2) Holes drilled too small so that bolts, screws, etc don't fit making the job take three times longer and beyond frustrating..

BINGO!

My friends, I don't have a cordless drill. DH obviously does but I have no (zero, zip, zilch) desire to go rummaging through his manly garage/barn looking for it. Believe me when I say this is NOT a complaint. If it is taken as such I know darn well that I'll end up with a set for my birthday and really, I'm not down for that... so SHHHH!

Anyway..

Me and my handy dandy Phillips head screwdriver went to town on a gazillion screws and bolts.. that didn't fit.. I used a flat head screwdriver to carve out the metal. Did I mention the gazillion screws and bolts? Ya, my hands were throbbing. At hour number three I was only this far:


I cannot tell a lie and must admit I had a few choice words for Belle and friends by then...

That all being said, it was well worth the hair-greying frustration and inoperative hands because it's all for JuneBug:

:o)

And So It Begins..

Little Miss JuneBug joins our family..

Missed Lori on Adoption Angles Last Night?

SHAME ON YOU!!!

The good news is you can watch it now!



FYI.. We did have some techie difficulties when she first came on. Do not despair.. just crank your volume up or give it just a couple of minutes and it's good as gold. When you're done watching make sure to head over to her blog, let her know what a fantastic job you think she did (how amazing her earrings are and that she should seriously pursue a career on Broadway).

Thank you, dear friend, for joining us and sharing your story. You never cease to inspire me!

MomTV's Adoption Angles With Heather T. Forbes!

It's Wednesday and you know what that means, right? You'll be hanging with me at 9PM EST over on MomTV's Adoption Angles! Joining us tonight is none other than THE Heather T. Forbes.. In my circles, this amazing woman is a rock star. From her web site:

Heather T. Forbes, LCSW has trained in the field of trauma and attachment with nationally recognized, first-generation attachment therapists since 1999. Co-author of "Beyond Consequences, Logic, and Control: A Love-based Approach for Helping Children With Severe Behaviors Vol. 1", author of Vol 2 as well as the new "Dare To Love", Heather lectures, consults, and coaches parents and professionals throughout the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.

Much of her experience and insight on understanding trauma, disruptive behaviors, and adoption related issues has come from her most important job, being the mother of her two children (both adopted as toddlers from Russia and both of whom had intense traumatic histories).

I am truly honored Ms. Forbes is going to grace our show with her presence and answer our questions. A really cool aspect of MomTV is that it's really user friend and so easy to join the chat room.
