Last week marked 7 months that Brad and I had officially been “in the pool” waiting to be chosen by a birth family. This is half way through our agency’s average wait time and is probably longer than what we anticipated when we first started down this journey (I tend to be a little more […]
How to Wear Red Hunter Rain Boots
Over the past few years, I have fallen in love with wearing boots, especially rain boots. I have a bad habit of wearing rain boots on completely dry days (and showing up to work in TOMs on days that are pouring rain). I have a couple coworkers who definitely love giving me a hard time […]

This post is in collaboration with Toyota. All opinions are my own. Last week I had the chance to try out the 2016 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid. It was a great car for my long commute to and from work. The technology in this car extended all over; to unlock the car, simply place your hand […]

2016 Mitsubishi Outlander
This post is in collaboration with Mitsubishi. All opinions are my own. Did you know that the 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander was redesigned from previous models and features over 100 improvements?

Menu Board – There’s Always Nachos
Along with our new floors, new kitchen, and new bathroom, I’ve been updating minor things in my home as well. A few years ago, I made a menu board based off of some Pinterest inspiration; however, I felt like it no longer really fit with the aesthetic of the kitchen and wanted to update it. […]
