We are STRONG
Something we’ve learned through this whole process of adopting A, and now trying to adopt again, is that we are STRONG. Adoption is harder than we ever thought, and also more rewarding than we ever thought. We worked with Pace Made Designs to design this shirt, and we hadn’t even mentioned the word strong to […]
Raspberry German Pancakes
I grew up having Hootenanie pancakes (German pancakes) all the time, as they were my sister’s favorite. We had them so much that I started to hate them, and it took years for me to even try them again. I stumbled upon this recipe, which would use up the left over raspberries we had perfectly, […]
Huevos Rancheros
I’ve had Huevos Rancheros on our menu for months, but always end up making something else, because I was sure I wasn’t going to like them. Guess what? I was wrong, these are so simple, filling, and so good! Both K and I were shocked that i was asking to have them again the next […]

Padfoot, Sharky, Sherlock, and Luna Turned 2!
We got all 4 dogs when we bought our house, so we celebrate all of their birthdays in April to just kind of celebrate becoming home owners and getting these 4. Our dogs are part of our family, and before A, before even knowing that adoption was a possibility and something that wouldn’t bankrupt us, […]
I’m a Mom
Motherhood is unlike anything I imagined, harder, better, more demanding, more rewarding, it’s just more. I still want to pinch myself, to make sure this is real life, that A is our daughter. And, being a mom has changed me, in ways I wasn’t sure I could ever change. I feel things, deeper. I cry […]
