Baby came earlier than expected… and nothing went as planned (which worked out perfectly!) It was love at first sight! Here’s some of our video footage sharing as much as we can from our 3rd adoption journey. Now we begin the legal process which is a labor all in itself – I will share more [...]
This is a video sharing about our second ‘in-person’ meeting with the birthmother. Just when I think I’ve experienced everything about adoption… my socks are blown off and God reminds me that He’s in control of all things – from beginning to end! Next update coming soon, so stay tuned!
Well, all that anticipation boiled down to just a couple short minutes of my first (in-person) meeting with the Birthmother. It didn’t go exactly as I had thought, but it went exactly as it was supposed to. Our next meeting may not be until October… but I’ll keep you posted! Don’t forget to subscribe here [...]
We’ve recently been presented with the possibility of adopting again. Each time it has been a different experience entirely! This time around, the Birthmother and I have already been in contact with each other… On this video, I share my thoughts as I prepare to meet her for the first time in person. Don’t forget [...]
Hi guys! This is a video to tell you about some of the ways I’ll be switching up my videos & blog posts… Almost everything I’ve done up til now has been food related. But I’ve been getting so many questions about Our Family & Adoption, that I wanted to warn my regular ‘Food’ subscribers [...]
New babies come at a high cost. No, I’m not just talking about money or those sleepless nights - but there’s something else that these precious little ones cost us mothers… and that’s the toll on our personal hygiene. I caught a glimpse of myself in the full length mirror on the way out the door yesterday and [...]
I’m pretty obsessive about making sure that hands get washed regularly; I try to minimize our exposure to other sick people; and of course the #1 defense is to eat a healthy diet full of ‘whole’ and ‘raw’ foods… but inevitably, everybody gets sick sometimes. Especially children who lack the judgment not to put their [...]
Three nights ago, we received a call from our adoption agency… They had a baby for us! Even more exciting is that ‘he’ (yes it’s a boy!) was already born and waiting for us to pick up! (That’s the short story – I’ll tell you the long one another day). However, he was in the NICU [...]
I’ve caught my son sneaking little bites of play-dough every now and then and it got me wondering ‘what the heck is in that anyway?’ The container says ‘non-toxic’, but if you’re a conspiracy theorist mom like me, you’re not entirely convinced it’s safe. Plus, if you haven’t noticed, name brand playdough isn’t cheap… and I was tired of buying container after container [...]
The Super Nanny would be sooooo proud! My husband and I sat down one night and hammered out a list of General House Rules we felt best suited our faith, personal convictions, as well as our family.
