Welcome

We set up our adoption blog so you can get to know our family a little better. I started blogging back in 2007 and have kept up with it over the years. At the end of every year, we print off our blog for that year and give it to Daniel's mom for her Christmas present. She keeps all of her children's yearly journals in a notebook that we will get back one day to pass down to our kids. I try to keep it up to date as much as I can.


When we decided to start the adoption process, I decided to make an identical blog for birth mothers to read. Everything that I write about my family on our personal blog, I copy it over to my adoption blog. I understand that an adoption profile only gives limited information about us and we want you to have the opportunity to really get to know who we are and what we like to do as a family. Our adoption blog will show you who we were even before we adopted our boys. Feel free to read as much as you want or click on the links up above!

Master Bedroom Makeover

I am really really really behind on blogging. I promise next week I will try to catch up.

A few months ago, I finally got the opportunity to redo our master bedroom. We bought new bedroom furniture and so of course I finally got to makeover our master like I had been dreaming of. I had been wanting to do a aqua and brown room but it would look really bad with our black furniture.

After I ordered the new furniture, I went out and bought a new comforter, throw pillows, lamps, pictures, window panels, and painted the whole room. I must of gone through at least 15 different throw pillows before I found the ones I wanted. And I had more paint samples than you could imagine. I even painted the wall in little areas but just couldn't find the right color. So I just searched online describing my color in my head and I found what I thought would be perfect. I went and picked up a sample hoping this one would be my last one and I LOVED it. It's a beautiful color! It took me a good 12 hours or so to paint because I had to prime the walls and I am a perfectionist when it comes to painting. So here is the before and after photos.

Here is our old room before the makeover.
