Last month, my mom had her annual Valentine’s Day party. All the kids (my siblings and I) were asked to bring a yummy Valentines-ish treat. I brought my favorite pink Cherry Chocolate Fruit Dip. My sister in laws brought pink popcorn and a strawberry cheesecake. The dessert table was totally pink, red, and fancy. And,…
There are many things I love about being a mom. So many, I don’t think I could name them. But, there are many things that are challenging as well. Lately I have been on Pinterest and have started feeling overwhelmed at all the GREAT ideas I’ve seen. There are so many ideas that I would…

I recently received the long-awaited cookbook from the Six Sisters. Thumbing through it, I was trying to decide which, of the many yummy recipes, to try first.

I’m Jenn, the proud mother of 3 beautiful children- all adopted from foster care. We are not your traditional foster family. In fact, our situation is quite rare. We have ONLY had INFANT PLACEMENTS. We have adopted 75% of our placements. We share open relationships with our children’s biological parents. We are not the norm. However, just because we do not meet the general “statistic” does not mean we don’t have something to contribute to the world of adoption. We feel very strongly that every child deserves a home!!
