Ways To Support Adoption & Adoptive Families
This is me two days after my 12th birthday with my newborn niece.
This is her with me and my older sister Erica about 4.5 years later at her preschool graduation.
When she graduated preschool she was technically still in the foster system but in my heart she had been my sister for a few years. She was placed with my mom and step-dad about two weeks after her second birthday. It took almost four years (44 months) from that day until the adoption was finalized. It was an emotional Read more [...]
5 Ways To Help Dogs With Arthritis
*I was sent Solvit dog steps. All opinions are my own.

NUK – From Birth To Toddler
*I was provided with items from NUK. All opinions are my own.
I have a large family. My dad had 7 children over a 23 year span. I am the youngest of the 7, so I have siblings who were adults before I was born. As a result, I have a niece and a nephew who are older than I am, and a few who are just a year or two younger than me as well. Now that I am 23, my nephew (who is 23 months younger than I am) is expecting a son this fall. I'm still adapting to the idea of being a great-aunt at 23 years Read more [...]
