About Me

I'm Stacy - an Army wife, and a stay at home mom to my 7 year old Lovebug. I spend my days homeschooling, doing at-home OT, gluten-free cooking, taking photos, reading, blogging, doing fun science projects, going on field trips & managing the home. I also enjoy sewing, scrapbooking & crocheting and need to make more time for those.

I'm passionate about my faith, my family, my friends, foster parenting, adoption (one day!), advocating for special needs, nature, the beach, and CHOCOLATE! More details about me & my family

I actually miss the laundry

I probably shouldn’t admit this in public, but I haven’t done laundry in a week and a half!  I re-use my after-shower towel for a few days before I wash it since I’m clean when I use it and I hang it up to dry.  Lovebug has about 50 pairs of panties since her sensory issues . . . → Read More: I actually miss the laundry

He gives and takes away

Our sweet Little Bear left us last Thursday.  It was time.  CPS made it abundantly clear that he was not going to be available for adoption anytime in the foreseeable future.  We are moving in just a . . . → Read More: He gives and takes away

He knows your name!

A couple nights ago, I wrote this:

Tonight I have peace. God’s peace. I’ve spent the last hour looking through pictures of our previous foster kids. Of the day they arrived in our home. Seeing them grow and learn. A video of a 2.5 year old completing her first puzzle and saying “Mommy I did . . . → Read More: He knows your name!

God doesn’t lead you anywhere He hasn’t already been

I gave Hubby a card recently that said that.  I thought it was perfect for this new Army adventure we are going on.  We are in the last 90 days before we will be moving, but we don’t know yet where we are going.

The same applies to our foster baby.  God knows his future, even . . . → Read More: God doesn’t lead you anywhere He hasn’t already been

Little Bear’s visit to the ER

Last night about 11:00pm, Rob took Little Bear to the ER.  Diagnosis: Night Owl Social Butterfly.

Seriously.

This kid does not like to sleep unless he’s with people.  He will nap contently in his bouncy seat in the living room with people having conversation, or with someone sitting within his eyesight and music playing.  But try to put . . . → Read More: Little Bear’s visit to the ER

Baby boy’s 2 week update

“Little Bear” has been with us for 2 weeks now.  He’s already growing so much. He gained 1 pound the first week he was here.  His neck is getting stronger too and he’s holding his head up a lot more.  He’s still sleeping most of the day, and eating every 3-4 hours.  Sometimes he’ll demand a . . . → Read More: Baby boy’s 2 week update

We have a baby at our house!

Yep, a real baby! Not a fur baby, not a doll baby….a real baby! 

I apologize for not updating the blog sooner, but things have been a little busy at our place.  That, and we’ve been missing out on our usual amounts of sleep, so when I’ve actually had the time to sit and blog, I . . . → Read More: We have a baby at our house!
