(photo credit) I first made our Adoption Announcement a couple months ago. For a long time nothing was submitted or official; so it still felt unreal. Like we knew it would happen, but at some abstract point in time. However, since sharing, it has been a huge blessing to receive so much love, support,…
October has come and gone; and I have to say… It might be my favorite month! It is just so beautiful, crisp, hearty, and fun! We’ve fully transitioned into comfort meals, like our new favorite 3-year old approved Coconut Curry Chicken; and experimented with a few more dairy-free recipes, which can prove to be a home-run…
Well, if you’ve been following along, this past month I was honored to be invited by Amber over at Adventures in Mindful Living to join up with her Change 3 Challenge! It was a joy to get to know her better and follow along with her challenge updates as well as the other ladies who…
How long have you been waiting? Today is Day 60. What’s been on your mind? Ironically, 60 days is minimal to so many people waiting for their children – biological or adopted.

My three year old is totally in that stage where his initially reaction to all food is, “No, I don’t really like that,” – one day he likes something, the next day he doesn’t (but has to eat it anyway ;) Last week, I shared my triumph on Facebook, when halfway through the meal with…
Every month, Modern Mrs. Darcy hosts a Twitterature Link-up as, “a place to share short, casual reviews of books…” There are always plenty of awesome recommendations and reviews, so if you’re looking for suggestions, head on over and hop around! Oddly enough, this month I am committed to reading 30 minutes before bed as part of my Change 3 Challenge, and…
Another eventful weekend has come and gone. We spent Friday night at the Teen Challenge Charity Banquet, which was an awesome night raising funds and celebrating the work this organization does for those battling addiction. If you know anyone struggling with addiction, please look into Teen Challenge; they have touched and blessed our family! For those…
