I Get To Be the One
If you’ve never heard this song, you’re going to want to grab a tissue and get ready to ugly cry. At first listening to this song I was overcome with sadness for A’s birth mom, that I was getting all of these things for this little girl that we all love so much. But, then […]
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 […]
Letter
Hey there, We’re Pax, K, and A (My name is Lindsay, I go by Pax, a college nickname and my husband is Kelton, I call him K, and we have a daughter Adeline, who we call A). Eight months ago our lives changed when we became parents to A. She is the spunkiest, most adorable, […]
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

And, being a mom has changed me, in ways I wasn’t sure I could ever change. I feel things, deeper. I cry […]
Happy Planner
I’m not going to lie, I was one of those asshole women that didn’t get stay at home moms, or how hard it was, before becoming a mom. I didn’t get what kept stay at home moms so busy all day, why dinner wasn’t ready and the house clean when their partners came home, etc. […]
Cat/Dog Stax Date Night
If you like puzzles, Cat Stax/Dog Stax will have you in date night heaven! Me, I’m not so much a hard puzzle person, so this was a fun version of date night hell for me. Fun, because it was with K, but hell because I was so bad at it, even when using the answer […]
Bedtime Stories
Bedtime stories are honestly one of my favorite parts of the day with A. K is usually at work when I put A to bed, so it’s just her and me. If I can get her to stay out of her milk coma long enough for stories we read 2-3 while snuggled up in bed. […]
