I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart since 2003. Together, we have four amazing children, by birth and adoption.

I am so incredibly thankful for this boy, and I simply cannot imagine our family without our sweet Dumpling! He brings so much...
We kind of dropped the ball on all of the fall activities this year. When I write drop the ball, that translates to: we didn’t do anything at all. Between homeschool, lots (and lots and lots) of doctor/therapy appointments, and the home renovation projects, the entire season was here and gone before we knew it. ...
Living in the country means we need to travel to another neighborhood if we want to trick-or-treat. We just don’t have enough neighbors! We drove to our old neighborhood last year, but neither hubby nor I were really feeling that again this year. So we made the executive decision to stay home for Halloween. The...
