It’s a Small World After All

May 5, 2010 world vision

I have seen poverty before. I was in Miami after Hurricane Andrew. I’ve been under the bridges of downtown Atlanta to feed the homeless. I’ve visited the inner-city of Philadelphia. I’ve toured the rundown neighborhoods of Guayquil, Ecuador. Seeing the poverty here in the Dominican Republic is not new. But it is completely different because [...]

World Vision Bloggers: Day 1 (or so)

May 4, 2010 world vision

I’m here! Oh, yesterday was just a long day. I had a great post in my head. All about American-ness, dehydration and wonder. Alas, we arrived at our hotel at 11:30pm with no internet access.

World Vision Bloggers

March 8, 2010 me

A few weeks ago I was the guest judge for Scribbit’s Write Away contest. She interviewed me about my blog and my *ahem* blogging career. She asked, “What changes have you see in blogging?” And as part of my super long answer I said, “Moms have seen that a blog can be more than a [...]
