A Few of My Favorite {Summer} Things
I haven’t done one of these posts in a while. Like a loooong while. But I LOVE to know my friends’ favorite things!!! And since you’re my friends, I can’t let you go on one more hottie than the devil’s armpit-summer day, without sharing with you some of my favorite things!We’ve had the best summer so far! It feels like the kids literally just got out of school, and here we are half way through the summer. I just bought Selah’s bookbag and lunchbox for KINDERGARTEN. Hold me…..I can’t take it. She wanted it to be fairies. Is that not the cutest? These mom and me matching swimsuits are the...
When You Say Yes to an Older Child
“What is it like adopting an older child? Should we break birth order? Do you have any words of wisdom for bringing an older child into our home? How will it affect our children?” These are the most asked questions that land in my inbox. And buddy, are they loaded.

Even though we’re still believing for healing in my womb, this was a surprise to me, because I felt this baby would be through adoption. And at that point, we knew we would be adopting our foster son this summer. We figured he would be our last adoption. But every morning, in the secret place with Him, I’d find myself writing about and praying for this baby. I didn’t know how this would come about because we certainly weren’t pursuing another adoption and we weren’t open to taking other foster children until several...
JORD Wood Watch Giveaway
I have a thing for watches.
There, I said it.
I like jewelry. A lot. If you’ve been around here for a while, you know that. But I really have a thing for watches. And when I find something I really like, I can’t help myself but to share about it. I guess it’s that evangelistic gifting in me. When I find something I really love, why wouldn’t I share?! And let me tell you, I will never share something here that I do not LOVE!
I’m obsessed with JORD watches. A few years ago, they sent me one, and I’m not lying when I say I’ve worn it everyday. I have the Frankie, Zebrawood and Champagne. So when they reached out and wanted to give, you, my friends, a watch, I was on that like white on rice.
