A Weird Soul
So I love Instant Family. I one reason is I’m more like the couple in the movie where it’s not that we can’t have kids but foster to adopt is how we’re building our family. Just a nontraditional choice. But growing up, I watched several movies that had suttle or overwhelming themes of orphans, foster, …
Today is a Foster Care Soundtrack Saturday. It’s not often you find songs specifically about Foster Care. So either it was a good guess, or Spotify is creeping on me. Either way, I’m glad this wound up in my discovery list a couple weeks ago and I knew it needed a Soundtrack Saturday. See if …
I love bullet journals. I love all the clever and creative ways people artistically keep track of what they are doing. But no matter how much I love it there are two reasons I don’t keep one myself. 1. It takes a lot of time before each day/week/month/year starts2. It doesn’t work with how I …
We’re doing foster to adopt to grow our family. It’s not because we can’t have bio kids, at least not that we know. But it’s something I’ve wanted for at least 5 years, and considering for over 10. I know James 1:28 hit me at just the right moment that it just stuck. Working with …

Foster care means we have to be ready for a variety of ages at a moment’s notice. We’re also crazy enough that we’re taking more than one at a time. So part of Foster Kid Prep is having enough on hand that you can function for a day or two while you wait for Amazon …
So my Spotify went through some rocky weeks, and then I got a good week where I liked almost everything. There were two songs that stood out though, and that brings us to this week’s Soundtrack Saturday. Ninja Archer is just a fun little quirky song that makes you smile. Feels Good is one that …
So the last few months have been havoc on my routines. Living in an apartment and then moving, then vacation, then all the other things that pop up, it’s been a while since I really felt ahead of the game. So September feels like the month to amp up my productivity and restart my Wake …
So we have finished all our classes and turned in our application. We got the call from our caseworker with the agency and have a meeting set up for the Friday after labor day to talk about home study, interviews, and other paperwork. I know we’ll have to have a CPR/first aid class, so I’m …
