Hi, friends! Our Fall-themed blog hop continues with a DIY Wheat Bundle by Lucy over at Craftberry Bush today: It’s a fun and easy project, and adds such a soft and simple touch of Fall. Now if only she could teach me how to make that flower arrangement, too! 😀 (Photo by: Hello Baby) I […]
Hello, friends! How was your weekend? Big hugs to all the mamas out there! My fondest first Mother’s Day memory (other than just getting to spend it with my Sonny, of course) was definitely plastic brunch. He and I were home alone ’til lunchtime, and I didn’t say a word about the holiday when we […]
Well, this is it. The last time I’ll blog before we head off to Haiti! 😀 Y’all, I have some reeeeeeally exciting news to share with you today. It involves two more people moving in with us in a few months. And when I say “moving in with us”, I mean, they’re building an addition […]
“I love every part of you, every thought and word… the entire complex, fascinating bundle of all the things you are. I love all the seasons of you, the way you are now, the thought of how much more beautiful you’ll be in the decades to come. I love you for being the answer to […]
“They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.” -Tom Bodett A winter storm blew through on Tuesday. Rain turned to ice mid-morning and our shrubs slowly leaned stiff into place with each freezing drop. By lunchtime, icy roads […]
She wasn’t where she had been. She wasn’t where she was going… but she was on her way. And on her way she no longer looked for the answers, but held close the two things she knew for sure: One, if a day carried strength in the morning, peace in the evening, and a little […]
“After all, I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens, but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.” -L.M. Montgomery No new design or adoption news, so I thought I’d share some simple […]
My word of the year for 2013 was “June” mostly because it reminds me of us. I was born on the 5th, and Kevin came (early) on the 28th. We were so excited to discover that we were both June ’74 babies! We were married on the 25th in 2004, so we’ll be celebrating our 10th anniversary […]
We took a little trip with our friends Billy and Suzanne on Thursday and Friday… You remember Billy and Suzanne, right? They’re the ones that Kevin went to school with back in the day, and that we met (again) when we started going to Centerpoint, and that also adopted a little girl through our adoption […]
I follow a sweet gal named Tiffini on Instagram and she posted a really great quote over there on Friday. It read, “The more important a call or action is to our soul’s evolution, the more resistance we will feel toward pursuing it.” It rolled up into my feed at the Perfect time. I was […]
Kevin and I drove down to my mom’s place this weekend, so we could spend time with her and my brother and my nephew…and the Gulf of Mexico… (Me and my nephew, at Navarre Beach, FL) We stared at it ’til our feet and ankles had disappeared waaay into the sand, and he told me […]
My ankle is still swollen, but it’s been so pretty outside this week. I needed to get out and about. Do you feel that craving when you haven’t been outside enough? That craving for vitamin D on your skin? I stuck my hand out the window as Kevin and I drove down a new road yesterday. […]
I surprised my Valentine with a Foldable Me yesterday, then I surprised him with a Foldable He, too! The paper pair starred in our very first Vine video yesterday. If you’d like to check it out just click on the photo below: If you listen closely, you can hear the non-paper version of my Valentine working on […]
We’re coming up on our 9 year wedding anniversary this June, but it’s been 10 years since I saw him standing there. Across the room, with his back to the wall…one knee bent up, and the bottom of his sneaker planted up against the wall behind him. He had his hat on backwards. I’ve always […]
Our first home study interview was a telephone interview, and it went great! Today I wanted to blog about our second home study visit- which took place at our home. Something really cool happened a couple hours before it started the other day, so I wanted to make sure that I saved the memory here […]
