Searching for "foster care"
OxyLED USB Rechargeable Motion Sensing Night Light + Giveaway (US) 5/31
Ever since we started foster care, whenever we've had kids in our home, I've started leaving the light above our kitchen sink on. For awhile, it was because I was having to get up and make bottles for the baby several times a night. And then when we had older children, it was a precaution in case anyone needed us throughout the night so they would be able to see their way through easier in a strange home. However, the typical bulb light is fairly bright, almost too bright. Especially when Read more [...]
BulbHead Atomic Beam Lantern & Headlight Review + Flashlight Giveaway (US) 3/11
Do you have an emergency kit of essentials ready in case something would happen around the home? Something as simple as losing power in the dark for a few hours can become extremely stressful, especially if you have kids. I never really thought much about an emergency kit until we started our foster care licensing last year. They had several things on the list such as a flashlight and radio. So I put together a few things but was really on the hunt for a light that would be more usable with Read more [...]
Downtown Bookworks ~ Raising A New Generation Of Book Lovers + BIG Giveaway! (US) 12/11
Instilling the love of reading and books comes easily to me as I was an avid reader growing up.

So today, I want to share a great company with you that I'm happy to introduce as a part of our Read more [...]
Cozy Cover ~ The Original Car Seat Cover + Giveaway (US) 10/12
I have mentioned in a previous posts how my husband and I had been in the process of getting licensed for foster care. Before that was even complete, we had received a phone call for our first foster children! That was an exciting and scary time as we were unsure of what to expect. No matter how much you prepare, foster care is such an uncertain path. I've been told you just never know when you'll get a call for a child/ren or when that next call will come saying the social worker will be Read more [...]
Philips Avent ~ Bottles, Drying Rack, Brush, Soothers, & More {+ Giveaway} US 10/5
Well, our foster care journey definitely started out a little different than we had thought. While our original idea had been to stay under the age of our youngest, the very first call we got was for three sisters who were 8, 4, and 4 months. Since we were the only option in our county, we gave it a go. The two weeks we had the girls was definitely a learning experience. There were good times, bad times, stress, fun, and so much more. Then, two days after saying good-bye to them, we got Read more [...]
