More Than Expected

A Very Exciting And Overwhelming Update From This Foster Mama Nothing can prepare you in life for surprise news, shocking updates or wild outcomes. The last handful of months have been quite overwhelming for my husband and I. Not in a bad way, but in a 'Here is a huge assignment for you...... are you… Continue reading More Than Expected

So these are my babies 💕.... my sweet precious babies! They are a part of me, they have my heart, they are part of my “half dozen “.... and the attachment more than real! This month held some pretty yucky and disturbing news. But that’s all part of this war zone called #fostercare . The great possibility of these two babes staying with us forever is a very huge reality, and though I want to shout it from the roof tops that we will adopt them - that we believe they will be with us forever... it’s not over till it’s over in foster care and adoption. So I will guard my heart, pray with fervency and continue to love these precious humans as my own. . Sometimes words can’t explain this journey we’re on..... but I do know that children are a blessing from the Lord (Psalms 127:3). And I consider myself blessed to have them in my arms 💕💕 . #fostercarejourney #fostermama #mamaofmany #thehardoffostercare #lovemakesafamily #fostercareandadoption

Our sweet babes! In parenting, we experience a love we never knew we had, and in foster care, we experience a deeper and different kind of love that actually blows our mind! 💕 . The other day, a woman (a well meaning woman I’m sure) said to me, “ oh I could never foster.... I would love them too much!” Uhhhh..... This has been said to us dozens of times unfortunately, and I know foster parents get a lot of this over all. . Well,the thing is, I will be the first one to shout it out that, ‘I LOVE THESE TWO WAY TOO MUCH!!’ I love them in a way that I can’t even explain it, I love them in a way that is so full of thanksgiving it’s overwhelming, I love them in a way that hurts most of the time, and WE love them in a such this way because they are part of our family and they need to be loved like this! Foster children need to be loved way too much, and they need to be set in families where hurt, trauma and neglect are nonexistent. . Foster care is The. Most. Hardest. Thing. We’ve ever done!! And we would do it again in an instant if it means the safety of dear children who need us to love them .... way too much!💕 . #fostercareadoption #fostermama #fostercarejourney #fosterandorphancare #fosterfamilies #fosterparents #lovethemwaytoomuch #fosterandadoption #twobabiesinoneyear #mamaofmany

9 years ago, God blessed us with this incredible boy! I’m so honoured to be his Mom, and I know and pray that there is a huge plan and purpose on his life! So awesome to celebrate you this weekend 🎉🎉 We love you Harrison! xo

Some school days look like this!! . Overall, I am a very structured and organized Mama. I love lists and schedules, and it totally works for our homeschool life. This week though, I planned a fun ‘creative ‘ week! And veered away from our regular scheduled program lol So far, it’s been a blast 🖍✏️🖍 . We’ve attempted new art, neat creations, unique poems (which the kids did amazing on), creative writing, new read alouds, baking, making catapults, geography fun and so much more!! It’s been a great week so far! And I think when I plan next year, I’ll put down more of these 😉 . #homeschoollife #homeschoolfamily #homeschoolmama #joysofhomeschool #mamaofmany #creativeweek ilovehomeschool
