If you find yourself feeling unhappy or unsettled in your current home and desiring a place where you can really settle down and plant some roots but you have NO IDEA where to begin, then you are in exactly the right place. I have put together all my favorite moving resources in one place […]
Experiences Gift Guide
Christmas is coming…do you feel ready? I’m ready for the magic of the Christmas season. What I’m NOT ready for is the feeling of chaos and stress as I try to get all the things done. Do you feel me? I have decided I’m not doing that this year. I’m getting my shopping done […]
We Made It, Sis!
First week of school – phew! We made it! If this is your first year with a kid in school, please know… The first week is always the hardest, always the most chaotic, but it DOES get easier. Not EASY, but easier. Skyler started 8th grade. Made a new friend on the first day. […]
Hiking For The Girl Who Previously Hated Hiking
If we chatted over coffee and you asked me about my interests, chances are hiking would have never come up. I have always detested the thought! It’s true! I’m the only daughter of 5 kids and growing up, my family all adored the great outdoors. They are also all naturally athletic, while I am […]
Eat The Rainbow [with FREE Printable]
My brain has been going a million miles an hour lately. I may have extra time on my hand, but as I’m sure many of you can relate, I also have more things pulling my attention. Not only do I have to maintain a household and, you know, WORK! But I have to do […]

Guess Who Started A YouTube Channel???

I’m Not Color Blind & You Shouldn’t Be Either
Sometimes I forget that adoption isn’t a normal conversation. I have spent years intentionally surrounding myself with and investing relationally with adoptive families for the benefit of my daughter, as well as our entire family. It’s comforting to talk to other parents whose children come from hard places and I know how much it […]
I’ll Stop Breastfeeding When I Damn Well Please
I’ve literally had this post typed up for at least 6 months, but I’ve been afraid to press “publish”. I hate controversy. I tend to bottle up (pun not intended) my feelings and run in the other direction rather than confront someone face to face. It’s that uncomfortable for me. I hate the thought of […]
This is the Latest I’ve Ever Been!
When you think of me, I doubt the word “punctual” comes to mind. Even if you’ve never met me in person, I’m sure my last minute tendancies have shown their hand once or twice around here. Yeah? I have a bad habit of underestimating how much time something will take or having too much […]
