Baby Blog Month in Review: July 2008

Two of my three children are summer babies. That is, they were born in the summer and had their first months surrounded by sunshine streaming in the windows, the sound of birds chirping, and days spent wearing nothing but a diaper and a “onsie.” I made sure that they had Fourth of July outfits ready, even though one of them arrived a week after the holiday.

Because of that, I wanted to introduce myself again so that you know who I am and where I am coming from when it comes to the world of adoption. My name is Rachel and adoption has been on my heart since I was a teenager. I didn’t really get to do something about it, though, until the fall of 2005 when my desire to adopt became too strong to ignore. My husband and I … Continue reading →

“Redding Up” on Fridays

Fridays always seem to put me in a nesting mood in my home. I like to make sure that the house is all ready for the weekend. Maybe it is knowing that chaos generally ensues on Saturdays and Sundays, with errands, household improvements and lots of play time. Maybe it is the thought that the house should be ready for company, should any stop by. Or maybe it is just the thought of everyone being home for the weekend and wanting it all to feel clean and cozy, with all of the ducks in a row. Whatever the reason, I … Continue reading →
