The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in the hope two little boys would soon be there! Wishing everyone the peace, joy and love that the Christ child brings to every heart. May the joy of Christmas be radiant within us the whole year through! Merry Christmas!! ... view the post
Room Renovation
Transforming the "office" into a bedroom for our sons! A few before pictures... And after! As you can see it's a bit crowded for now, but should be a little more roomy when we bunk the beds. I find myself glancing in their room everytime I walk by. Sometimes turning the light on in the morning just so I can see it all more clearly, because it makes my heart so happy! I love seeing everything put together, their beds made, the walls painted, but most of all knowing I will soon be peering in and looking at two beautiful little boys! Not just any boys, our sons!! ... view the post
A New Direction
This past week has been filled with a lot of exciting news as our dream of becoming a family is drawing near and finally coming to fruition! There has been a lot of hustle and bustle and way more lists and list making than even this type A lady would like in a day.

3 Under $30
With Christmas only two weeks away it's time to pick out your holiday looks! From the work party, to Christmas mass to the family dinner there are so many reasons to glam up. I always love seeing all the glitz and sparkle, but also the classic colors of Christmas. I realize I may have broken the rules by adding 4 items instead of 3 and one may slightly be over the 30 mark, but it's almost Christmas so I am feeling generous! The Limited // 29.97 LOFT // 29.50 ModCloth // 34.99 LOFT // 20.70 ... view the post
Adoption Shower!
My husband's brother and sister in-law threw us an amazing adoption shower this past weekend!! I am pretty sure there was a permanent smile on my face the entire time!! As they say in the adoption world...glowing, not showing! It was great to have so many friends and family come and celebrate with us! We know that it has been all of their prayers and encouragement that has carried us through these past several years. So it was only appropriate to have it be more than just a women's gathering and instead a family event. Bingo! One of the many fun games played. My brother in-law and sister in-law did an amazing ... view the post
