We are in the waiting. We passed all our home study and Saturday we took our policy and procedures class. Because we are open to sibling sets of two or three, it’s likely we’ll get kids quick, but we joke that we probably won’t get any till I’m out of town at my conference in …
30 Days Thankful 2019 list
Every year I try to do the thankful list for the month of November. Sometimes I’m just finishing it in one day because I just struggle to remember it every day. But really it’s the practice of sitting down and remembering what you’re thankful for. This year I’m trying to focus on why I’m thankful. …
Foster Care Soundtrack Saturday
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 …

Soundtrack Saturday Tough Times
This is one of my all time favorite songs. Usually something I play on a down day. It’s just that great reminder that in everything, God is there. The words just ring through the moments. Ginny Owens was also one of if not the first singer/songwriter music I started getting into. She has a way …

Ice Cream Maker: I’m thinking this model but I’m still doing a little research. My main use will be making sugar free fro-yo, but occasionally I’ll want the full-on ice cream experience.
