Book Caddy
K (the husband) built this adorable book caddy for our nursery. I swear he just gets handier and handier, it’s pretty awesome. I’m definitely incredibly lucky to have a husband that likes to build, because, well, I love handmade things. He used the plans HERE, and went to town! When he was done building […]
For You We Will Move Mountains
We’ve opened a shop, For You We Will Move Mountains, where we sell handmade items, as well as jewelry and other things (more items coming soon!). This shop was opened to help alleviate the costs of adoption. If you want to read more about our decision to adopt, you can do so here. Our shop name […]
Puppy Birthdays
So, we are those dog owners that treat their dogs like children. People seem to understand more when they learn that we can’t have biological children of our own, but I honestly think we’ll always be dog spoilers, even after we’ve adopted.

We’ve set up a t-shirt campaign, selling a t-shirt we […]
Raised Planter
K built these gorgeous raised planters for us, and I am still drooling over them. Trying to still have a garden while also having 4 puppies has proved to be…challenging. Although, watching them run around with a huge zucchini in their mouth that they just picked is still one of my favorite oh crap moments […]
Our Adoption Decision
K and I have discussed adoption since shortly after we got married. We knew there were genetic traits we weren’t crazy about passing down, and then the more and more serious we got to trying for a child, and the more doctor’s visits to make sure I was all good to go proved that I […]
Motherhood
In the past Mother’s Day has never been hard for me, it’s a day to celebrate my mother, and other mother’s in my life, and I’ve loved a day dedicated to them, as they do so much, but this year was different. K and I have been talking a lot about children, and whether biological […]
