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’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!!
Hi everyone! My name is Shannon and I’m a mom of two boys. For a living (and for fun), I’m a fashion consultant and blogger (Style with Shannon). I have lived and breathed fashion for as long as I can remember! I believe fashion is art that can change people’s lives. We have all had…
Hello again! And happy February! You may think I’m crazy after you read a couple more of my posts, but hey, who doesn’t need a bit more “crazy” in their lives? This month I want to share with you some thoughts on creating a little bit of NONSENSE in your life! download and print…

Hi! It’s Brooke again from Blissful Roots. The month flew by, and here I am again. We’re talking journals today. I have my wonderful parents to thank for my dedication to journaling. My dad has volumes upon volumes of his own journals, and while my mom may not have volumes of her own, she started…
My kids love Valentine’s Day, almost as much as Christmas…which is pretty amazing, considering they only get some candy and a book for V-day. But, every year they look forward to the treasure hunt, finding clues all over the house that lead them to candy, and eventually their new book. It’s been such a fun…
Hi there! My name is Veronica and I’m so excited to be a regular Family Time contributor on Or So She Says. I’m a very happy mom of nine fantastic kids. I have no magical answers, no superhuman powers, but I do love my family and feel grateful every day for the life I have…
Hi! My name is Brooke Duncan. You can usually find me over at Blissful Roots, but today I am thrilled to be here at Or So She Says. Mariel was kind enough to give me the opportunity to be her Family Time Contributor. You’ll find me here on the second Monday of every month. I can’t…
Morning sickness in early pregnancy can be debilitating and discouraging. Ask me. I’ve been through seven first trimesters, three in the last year. You’re too tired to cook–not that anything sounds edible. The only escape is sleep. It’s like having the flu for months on end. Smells and tastes that were once enjoyable become nauseating….
It’s been a long time coming, but we finally got our 72 hour kits put together last week! It took making it a homeschool project, but we got it done. The last time I did these was 11 years ago, and I hadn’t opened my kits since. Not to mention, back then I only had…
Hi, I’m Mary. My life has been greatly blessed because of adoption and foster care. My husband and I adopted our daughter through a private agency when she was a newborn and we have welcomed six foster children into our home over the past six years. We hope to add more children into our family…
