"Are you crazy?" I just have to laugh now when people ask us that question, because in all honesty the answer is yes. We are absolutely bat-shit crazy, but we're also happy so I guess it's a matter of picking and choosing your battles. As Josh and I were sitting at the table yesterday discussing… Continue reading The One Where We Take A Respite Placement

MAINTAIN
On January 7th 2020, I really tried to write a blog post- I swear! I was so pleased with myself thinking: "Wow you have extra time to be productive? You're writing a post and it hasn't been two weeks or more? You go girl!" I was hype, but then I realized that not much happened… Continue reading MAINTAIN
A New Year
It has been a week- let me tell ya! As excited as I was for Christmas to come this year, I was more excited for it to be over. I am just drained. Our household was hit by a "super cold" (as I've been calling it), even the littlest one. Christmas Day consisted of us… Continue reading A New Year
“What made You want to do that?”
I have been asked that question hundreds of times by now. If you've been reading my blog, then you'll know that there is a story from my childhood that has led me to become a foster Mother. However, recently when asked I simply reply "why not?" I mean in all honesty, that's the real answer… Continue reading “What made You want to do that?”
9 Years
Tomorrow is Joshua and my nine year anniversary. It has been 9 years, since 15 year old Josh pulled me aside at the end of our high school day and asked if I would officially be his girlfriend. His friends, Jason and Kevin went through all the stops, taking my best friend at the time,… Continue reading 9 Years
Feeling Sentimental
I feel like so much has been going on lately! (Do I always say that? Because I feel like I do-anyway)The beginning of the school year has kind of snowballed into long days with appointments, visits, music class etc. We have something planned every.single.day. It's been nuts! This most recent Monday, I attended a funeral… Continue reading Feeling Sentimental

Am I the only one who finds themselves holding onto the people who push you away the most? The people who give you every reason to not hold on to them? I'm sure I'm not. I feel like I'm surrounded by them. For some reason or another, the Universe has dropped these specimens of human… Continue reading xx Toxic xx
Figuring Some Things Out
Hello reality! We're back from our week long vacation in Delaware. It was quite the learning experience for Josh and I but it was an overall nice time. All three of the girls had different opinions about our time spent and honestly I think Estelle had the most fun out of all of us. Estelle… Continue reading Figuring Some Things Out
Some Foster Care Things
It's been a little while since I've written a dedicated foster care post, I realized. When I first started this blog I thought I would have more to say about it on a day to day basis, but I guess I haven't until now. On that note, I haven't had much time for much of… Continue reading Some Foster Care Things
“Do you Just Hate Working?”
A tiny reminder for myself to bloom where I am planted. Is a question I've been asked several times throughout the course of my working career. This coming August will mark my 10 year anniversary of being a working individual. I only have what, 50 more years to go? It's crazy to think about, but… Continue reading “Do you Just Hate Working?”
