husbands and wives

disclaimer: I am a Christ-following, stay-at-home mama. So, it would naturally follow that this post is written from the perspective of a Christ-following, stay-at-home mama. My goal here is to encourage, and to help others who are struggling. This is simply my opinion, from lessons I’ve learned on this journey called life. I am not a professional, nor do I… Read More

a whopper

a whopper

This is my crazy husband. Not. Although he looks silly in this picture, my husband is typically quite serious. Calculated. Disciplined. Since we began the adoption process for Isabelle in 2004, we’ve had numerous discussions about adoption… Should we? Again? And, as you might have guessed, most of the time I am the one doing the asking. Most of the… Read More

02.01.11 · adoption, Q and A 66

an answer for anonymous

I’m turning over the blog today into the trustworthy hands of my husband. He has agreed to tackle this recent anonymous comment left on yesterday’s post. It’s a comment I appreciate for it’s candor and sincerity, but one I wasn’t 100% sure how to answer: “… something has been nagging at me lately. I respect that you feel strongly that… Read More

one question answered… a big one

megadog said… How do you answer the question of “How much does adoption cost?” I am always mildly uncomfortable with that question and yet want to answer it honestly to help anyone who might be thinking of adoption. It’s a hard one for me. Do you have a good answer? Kateri said… The problem… they are all coming to me… Read More

nosy, continued

I’m just gonna stick with this comment from my buddy today. Cuz it pretty much covers half the questions that were asked. Just read on… you’ll see. a Tonggu Momma said… favorite guilty pleasure food?

dear nosy

I was prepared, I thought. I expected nosy. After all, I am one of the nosiest people I know. And I did write in my post that I’m an open book. Well, y’all did not disappoint. Thanks for just laying it all out there peeps. And asking away. And although I’m not usually one to jump right in and tackle… Read More

05.19.10 · Q and A 15

if you ever wanted to ask

I had hoped to have something to write today, but again, the words just don’t seem to be coming. I guess I’ll have to wait until I have something to say. Until then, if you happen to have a question for me, it would be a great time to ask. And I’ll do my best to answer. Within reason of… Read More

Questions…. more answers

Shelby said… What first led you to adoption? *My husband, surprisingly 🙂 In July 2004, he came to me, hands shaking, and told me that we had a daughter in China. I thought he was crazy! I think HE thought he was crazy, too!! But God had spoken to him and there was no denying it! We had never discussed… Read More

Your questions answered, round 2

Mike and Ramona said… I also am curious as to when in the world you get to take a shower. * I shower whenever I need to! I’m pretty easy going and my kids know the deal… no trouble when mama’s in the shower! I have Miss TattleTale (ahem.. I mean Miss Sophie) on duty when I shower most of… Read More

So much more than you ever wanted to know about me

So much more than you ever wanted to know about me

Holy cow. You guys have come up with so many questions… even if I had the time to answer all of them, I am sure y’all would be bored to tears. So I’m going to try to keep it short and sweet, if possible. I’ve added some pictures so you can see our closets, pantry and how I’ve organized some… Read More
