Our Adoption {Just Show Up} Story
Our adoption story really begins and ends with grace.

selling on etsy {my craft room}

Upcycle Baby Clothes into a Memory Blanket
Our daughter came home to us from Ethiopia wearing 12 month sized clothes even though she was 19 months old. But once she settled in and learned to trust us and try new foods, she quickly filled out. Many beautiful outfits have only fit her for a one-time-wear because of how fast she’s put on weight! What to do with… Read More
