Our second day at Disney World was all about Epcot. And this is where we met up with once-online-but-now-real-life friend and photographer, Sennu Maria Keith, who came armed with a very big camera and an even bigger dose of joy and enthusiasm… Ready to take pictures of our humongous family for the entire day. Last October, Sennu had reached out… Read More
A few months ago I shared about a very special little one who needed our help. Her name was Joy and she was in the loving care of Meredith and Morning Star Foster Home.

My plan had always been to make the So Loved donation once a year – on July 31, Esther’s birthday. But then came Meredith. And her babies…. Read More
Isabelle has long wanted to have “Rapunzel” hair. Long. Flowing. Down to the small of her back. But she simply lacked the patience to ever get there. When it was time for a haircut, she couldn’t resist. The weight, the heat… all made her long for short hair again. In the last year, though, something changed. She decided, no matter… Read More

Dang, y’all. I am so excited. Because today, I get to introduce you guys – my orphan-loving, big-hearted friends – to something else that is close to my heart. The Cupcake Kids.
