When you are waiting for your precious child, it can seem like forever and as we all know, money does not grow on trees.  Most adoptive families get very, very creative in ways to save, find and/or make the money they will need for the expenses that just normally accrue with the adoption of a child.  In our case, we held some awesome garage sales, saved, and incurred some debt.  We were incredibly blessed by the kindness and generosity of others and will be forever grateful.
Listed here are some of …

Before I had children, one of my favorite things for new babies were diaper cakes or wreaths and knew that when I finally did become a Mom, I wanted one at my shower.  When I finally had a baby shower or two for my own babies, we were all so thrilled that these little angels were joining out family that …

On the heels of  my recent post about the Baby List book, let me tell you about another cool product I have been able to review ~ coverPlug.  coverPlug is one of the more unique electrical outlet covers I have seen.  They are designed to be “out of sight, out of mind” for toddlers and with a toddler like my P3 running around, well, they could not have been more timely.
P3 has become such a happy typical toddler and to her, exploration is the name of the game.  Me, I …

If you recall, P1 is our daughter that we adopted domestically at birth.  We learned that her birthmom had selected us to be her family about two months before she was due to be born.  We were beside ourselves with excitement but had to do the best we could to keep it all under wraps until it was a done deal, so to speak, just in case the adoption did not go through. So during those two months, we knew we were hopefully adopting a newborn but that was about …

3 P’s in a Pod
No, we have not disappeared nor have we decided never to write again. Life has been, well….a tad busy.;)
We returned from China safe and sound without any notable glitches. We were so happy to be home and see those smiling faces waiting for us at the airport. My in-laws had been a lifesaver and P1, P2, Brett, my cat, and the house were all intact.
P3 was a real trooper throughout the whole thing and settled into getting acquainted with the rest …

My fabulous Oct DTC group recently held our (first?) Cyber Shower. While I was unable to be online for the group opening and chat, I was able to enjoy the package of goodies lovingly put together for P3 by my friend Mary. The really fun thing was that I had been looking at those very same onesies and had just not quite managed to justify their purchase as yet.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you My Friend!!!!
