As my friend Denise would say, “OH MY WORD!” the Oklahoma weather has been crazy good lately. All the windows open, walk to the farmers market, outdoor thrift shopping, picnic table dinner good…so, so good! If there was one thing I would really love to do in this weather it would be to take a...

So I recently did my first ever “corporate” sponsorship at a golf tournament. Funny thing is usually sponsors do it for the advertising or tax write-off – I did it for neither. My hubby and an incredible team of others put on the first ever adopt[ed] golf tournament. They did a fantastic job. Along with...

What a cute little golfer!! And your hair is too cute!
Wow, that’s an amazing total. I heard it was close to 30K, but that amount is amazing. Thanks for taking part in it. Can’t wait to see what is raised next year.

Whoa – CUTE hair! The pictures of C golfing are just too much – such a cute little man!
LOVE that answer : )
I always seem to be given great opportunities to talk about adoption and today was one of those great moments. Got to pour my heart out about my kiddos and the beauty of God’s heart in adoption.
I am glad the golf tour went so well. I am proud of TCABC’s adoption ministry.
I also rejoice with the Woods over their son. I would have liked to seen the cardboard take you all did…
Have a beautiful weekend.

WAY CUTE HAIR!!!!!!!

Thanks for the comments on my hair! I cut 8 inches – it was wonderful to see it all on the salon floor. It’s usually wavy not straight…too much time to straighten it!

I love your hair!! I think that is great that the whole family was involved with the golf tournament. It is a great cause. I think adoption is a wonderful. We haven’t done it yet but I have always been open to it!

Hey, we made your blog, I’m honored and stoked. Wish we could have played with Corbett, such a great boy!!! See you guys soon.
I was reading a friend’s blog and he challenged his readers to share how an orphan has changed your life. I love that idea for many reasons, but one of the biggest for me is to get to share about a little girl who never had a mom or dad go on and on about...

Ashley,
Okay…so you said Kazakhstan and I had to comment. What a beautiful story and a beautiful little girl. Those Kazakh kids are all knockouts. Do you remember what city you were in?
And…we adopted a baby girl, Lyla Dawn, when she was only 2 days old. We haven’t updated the blog yet, but will soon. She is beautiful and has totally got me (Aaron) wrapped around her finger at only 6 weeks. Your little girl is beautiful! God is good.
Aaron
Yes, I have tears in my eyes. What a beautiful girl, and I pray that God saved her from that hard road. I also pray that somehow you might get to find out where she is. I have 4 beautiful “used to be orphans” in my home that have totally changed my life! It makes me overwhelmed to think of where they could have been and where they can be now…….thanks for sharing!
Praying with you for her!
Alex
Praying for Sabina — and hoping that one day you would meet again.
I will pray for Sabina!
What an amazing story. Thank you for sharing it with us. I also pray that she has found a forever family and she is sure of their love and that they embrace her strong spirit. She is beautiful.
Thank you for sharing!
Lots of questions about where I got my daughter’s hat and headband. They are all from Etsy.com (of course). The felt flower headband was from a seller called Lou and Lee – they are no longer selling. The pink & orange hat was a gift but bought on etsy. Sorry I don’t know the seller....

The Lou and Lee shop is planning to open back up at the end of the month. She had a baby and needed to stop things for a few months. Just an fyi for your readers.
The pink & orange hat came from Zoe Lynn Designs on Etsy.
i have SO many headbands from lou and lee! they are great, but acutally quite simple to make yourself. all you have to do is cut a band from a pair of old nylons (opaque work best!) cut out some fet flowers/petals and either sew or hot glue them on! voila!
felt that is!
Thanks SO SO Much!
Hi Ashley!
I love your nursery!! Speaking of “where did you find that”??…Where did you get the vintage looking print with the bird that has a b…ball, etc.?? I love that. You are so creative.
Megan, I got the bird print from a random seller on etsy. There was only one. You can do a search on etsy for vintage alphabet cards…that’s what I did. I bought it before we had picked a name b/c I liked the bird…just worked that we picked a “B” name too!
Like I said yesterday, over the course of 10 days all 4 of our kids got sick…each at different times. We wrapped up last weekend with the last kiddo throwing up. It was a long 10 days. When the weekend hit and we still had one sick I decided instead of playing the “Whoa is...

Where is this flea market on main street? I would love to go and cruise it and look for treasures. Such a nice way to “reframe” the negative and turn it into something positive.
This is great! Reminds me of the Sound of Music, “My Favorite Things.” :0)
I like the Hitching Post at 91st & Main, Southern Hospitality (they are moving this weekend and won’t be open for a few months). Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow near 71st & Main sometimes has good stuff. When Southern Hospitality relocates it will be next door to The Hitching Post…yeah!
There is something so good about visual therapy. I love all of the pics and I as specially love Breese’s cute little toesies. I pray that you all are feeling much better soon.
