In August and early September, I could tell Rylie was fizzling out at gymnastics. She wasn’t doing her best & she didn’t seem to be enjoying it anymore. I asked her in the car one day if there was another activity she would rather do and she quickly responded “I want to play baseball!” It […]

old baker vendor event
Much to my astonishment, I was accepted to be a vendor at Old Baker Farm’s vendor weekend (a well known pumpkin patch) where I got to sell our sourdough bread, bagels and cookies + our adoption merch and superhero capes. On Saturday (10.22.22), all the vendors had to be fully set up by 8am and […]
old baker pumpkin patch 2022
On Saturday, October 8th, we made plans to go to Old Baker Farm with my sister/brother-in-law to go hunting for pumpkins. Aaron & Spencer stayed home so it turned into just a girls trip. We intentionally got there right at opening in hopes to avoid the heavy Saturday crowd, and we were successful. The first […]
superhero set fundraiser
Ready to save the world? Be a hero by helping us adopt I found this fundraiser in my initial fundraiser idea search back in January but I intentionally set it aside to release in the Autumn. When September was ending, I found our sets and anxiously waited for them to arrive in the mail. Pretty […]

Of course you […]
adoption merch – beanies
I am so beyond pumped to announce we have added beanies to our lineup of adoption merchandise! 😀 Since releasing our shirts, hoodies and stickers on March 4th, we also added kids shirts in May. The journey of how it all came to be is incredible, and this addition is no exception. In the summer, […]
our adoption profile book
Because we are adopting a newborn and the expectant mom gets to choose which family raises her child, one of the things we needed was a “profile book” of our family. Basically a photo album with a mix of posed and candid shots + answers to questions our hired-creator asked us like what are our […]
