Baby Swing with A
I got the swing for A on a whim one day, thinking it could be a fun thing for her. You guys, she absolutely loves it! I can’t say the same for the dogs, as they’ll come up, all curious, then not listen when we tell them to watch out and get bumped with the […]
A’s First Birthday!
A is one! Oh my heck, I feel like my mom as I keep wondering where the time went, and wanting it to slow down. This past year has flown by, and K and I are both still in shock over having a one year old. This last year as parents has been pretty much […]

This year marks 6 of your birthdays we’ve spent together, but it feels like I’ve known you forever, and also like we’ve barely had any time together, if that even makes sense.

What is Open Adoption?
Adoption is hard, if I’m being honest. You put yourself out there, hoping that someone is going to like you, and want you to be the parent of their child. Your life is inspected by a social worker and you have to prove that you’re “fit” to be parents, when if you’d had biological children […]
