I’ve honestly been putting this off for a while

I’ve honestly been putting this off for a while now, because I don’t even quite know how to process it all yet personally or as a family, let alone share it with the hundreds of you invested in this sweet boy’s story, but our Z bug is leaving us soon. Likely in the coming weeks.
I’ll never really be able to share details in this space due to the nature of foster care ofcourse, but know with as much sadness, there is an equal amount of peace in our hearts. He is so very loved and cared for by so many people, and we are so thankful that we got to be mama and dada this past year and a half 😭 Our family has truly been wrestling with this so much and ask for so many prayers as we somehow say goodbye to one of our babies, all while simultaneously welcoming a new one in the coming weeks. A sort of twisted paradox I never could have never imagined having to learn how to navigate myself or walk through with my 5 year old and that honestly messes with my mind like I can’t explain right now. I’m also asking for your grace and patience as I also have to protect my emotional and mental health to deliver and welcome baby soon, I may not get to all of your questions about this in the coming weeks. Thankyou for all the love you’ve shown us and z friends. 😭 these next few weeks are going to be filled with sadness and grief, but also expectance and hope, and I thankyou you in advance for your covering in how we learn how to do this. We love you z. Thankyou for letting us be able to call you ours. #thisisfostercare

BOARD AND BATTEN entry way reveallll! 💥 Here sh

Next project underway, let’s give this entryway

Next project underway, let’s give this entryway a much needed makeover. My goal for this project is to hopefully not need to buy anything except a few small supplies and use leftover pieces from previous projects! I have leftover pieces of wood from our slated wall in the bedroom, so let’s use them to do a fun board and batten! Some fun mustard colors!? I shared a little more of my ideas in my stories this morning! Feel free to follow along! Also it’s February and I can officially say we be having our baby NEXT month! 🥰😭

Oops! We maybe got a little pop up camper to fix u

Oops! We maybe got a little pop up camper to fix up and adventure with! If you know our Luca G, he becomes obsessed with something very specific every six months or so. So far we have gone through stages of countries and capitols, the periodic table of elements, & fish and bird types to name a few. Now his obsession is knowing every National park 😂 So you can find us fixing this baby up over the next few months and giving it a little makeover, and taking our sweet boy on some adventures this summer that his little heart has been dreaming of. I’ll share a little of the inside of this 1998 beauty in my stories today 😂🏕⛰🚌 Hint: it’s verrryyyy 1998.

✨Slated wall reveal✨ I wanted to create a clea

✨Slated wall reveal✨ I wanted to create a clean cozy space for bringing our new little babe into in a couple months and so far I’m really happy with it! Since we are fostering right now we don’t have an extra bedroom for a nursery, so I wanted to freshen up our bedroom and create a space I was excited to bring him into. I saved a highlight on how we put up the wood slated wall (it’s actually pretty easy if you measure right, unlike me for 90% of my projects 😂) I 100% admit I am by no means a professional and just fly by the seat of my pants for most projects, but this one I’m pretty excited about. I’ve added a few other pics of the different stages of this room, including the very green wall this was a month ago, and the last one which is right when when we bought the house (hiiii weird red lamp shades and medieval fan 👋🏻) Let me know what you guys think!! Happy Sunday friends!

Happy Saturday friends! Hope you are all doing so

Happy Saturday friends! Hope you are all doing so amazing and I just wanted to thankyou for being here! It’s so much fun for me to share creatively in this space our projects and home and your support truly means so much. So looking forward to all that is to come this year. Also, officially in my third trimester over here 🤰🏼😮 and cannot believe it! Can’t even wait to meet our new little love. We have lots planned for this year and cannot wait to take you along!
