I am so saddened to hear that your beautiful family has been the target of the alt-right. I will take action and keep your family in my prayers.

Having worked in the Middle East for 3 years I totally get your perspective. I'm in Paris today in transit. Listening to BBC and Al Jazeera news, I am reminded how different the world is from what we hear on US news stations. Blessings to you xo Tue, 19 May 2015 08:52:27 +0000 http://www.rageagainsttheminivan.com/2015/05/what-i-want-you-to-know-about-what-it.html#IDComment972387966 http://www.rageagainsttheminivan.com/2015/04/what-i-want-you-to-know-about-having_27.html#IDComment967567368 Hi Shari, thank you for sharing your story. My daughter is now 31. Her violent outbursts started at 9 months old. My husband and I took every child rearing class available. We had two other "normal" kids. Jenni was permiscuous as a teen, used drugs, but did well in school. When she was arrested on a misdemeanor drug charge, the judge saw promise in her and instead of jail sent her to a long term (9 months) inpatient rehab facility. It was there, after many sessions with the psychiatrist, that she was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. That was 7 years ago and oh how wonderful the changes in her life have been. I send love and prayers to your family. You're doing a great job parenting and raising awareness!

Just the type of loving, compassionate, humanistic person I love knowing! Tue, 3 Mar 2015 14:01:05 +0000 http://www.rageagainsttheminivan.com/2015/03/what-i-want-you-to-know-about-being.html#IDComment954611251 http://www.rageagainsttheminivan.com/2015/03/what-i-want-you-to-know-about-being.html#IDComment954610875 Thank you for sharing your story. I was grateful for state benefits during a rough patch in my life. And I, as a midwife, have cheerfully, gratefully and compassionately cared for many women over the past 20 years who were on state aid. Early and frequent prenatal care saves lives, both mom and babies. That should always be the only concern, if you're a loving, humanistic person. Never, ever be ashamed of needing Medicaid! Ever. The only people that should be ashamed of themselves are people who judge you. I'm so happy things are looking up for your little family!!

I'm laughing so hard my staff has come in to check on me! I love your blog... LOVE IT!!! Your blog was my very first ever blog. And it's been so fun watching your kids grow. <3 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 14:53:33 +0000 http://www.rageagainsttheminivan.com/2014/10/tbt-pooping-for-disney.html#IDComment901760298 http://www.rageagainsttheminivan.com/2014/09/turning-vehicles-into-wi-fi-hotspots.html#IDComment873412098 Hi Kristen! We've had wifi in the car for about 2 years now thanks to DataJack. Boy does it cut down on the "are we there yets"!! The bigger girls (5th graders) are able to do their online math work for school. It's awesome and helps out while commuting between extracurricular activities. Good for Chevrolet for adding this feature to their cars. p.s. I find your sponsored posts informative and usually helpful, so thank you Sat, 6 Sep 2014 12:00:45 +0000 http://www.rageagainsttheminivan.com/2014/09/turning-vehicles-into-wi-fi-hotspots.html#IDComment873412098 http://www.rageagainsttheminivan.com/2014/03/my-husband-movie-star.html#IDComment803821244 I think your hubby looks like David Duchovny... especially in the first pic you posted.

I love your humor, your honesty and watching the kids grow! I also love how you didn't lash back at Sarah, who needs a hug! Thanks for keeping me entertained! Happy Thanksgiving!

Many, many, many years ago, my now 32 year old son (who had platinum blonde hair and blue eyes) dressed as Mr. T for 2 Halloweens... not 1, but 2!!! It was the years he was 7 and 8. He LOVED Mr. T. We sprayed his hair with some temporary hair coloring stuff, and used a half tube of goo to get his baby fine hair to stand up in a mohawk. I never for a moment considered that we were being racist... my word, so much anger and ignorance in this world... we need to start LOVING more!
