Our Favorite Baby Items
With adopting A there wasn’t much we had control of, when or if we’d be chosen, but the one way I could prepare and love this baby that wasn’t here, or ours, was to prepare for her to come. And boy, did I prepare, and then over prepare, and then I still prepared some more. […]
Happy Father’s Day K!
Becoming parents after we made the decision to adopt happened faster than we ever could have hoped for, or what we were told to expect. I was the one stressing and over preparing to handle it all, while K was just as chill as could be, building the nursery furniture and just excited to be […]

Slow Cooker Sausage and BBQ Beans
This slow cooker sausage and BBQ beans is surprisingly tasty, and so, so simple. This was another meal I was putting in the category of “Gross Food K Likes,” but I actually loved it too! We use Andouille sausage, which we get from Costco, you can use any sausage you like and the flavor will […]
SET date night
SET is a speed based matching game. Sounds simple, right? Yeah, not so much. I’m great at speed games, like, really great, but I never win this one. It’s the matching part that throws me, because there are so many different ways you can match up these shapes in sets of three, either all the […]
