Welcome! My name is Jennie and I’m a writer. I’m also a wife, an adoptive mother, a traveler, and a hopeful novelist. I dabble in graphic design and run when I need to think. I’ve also been homeschooling our boys for a million years. One recently graduated high school, so yay for us!

The original blog was created in 2005 to maintain regular contact with our birth families and extended family members. Over the last decade, it has been a powerful way to stay connected with them and keep those we love in the fold of our everyday goings-on. I don’t offer a subscribe button or email list. If you want to keep up, it’s on you to bookmark this site.

On this blog, you’ll find photos from our travels and stories about our boys, book reviews, and other tidbits. (You can only go back so far — 2017 or so.) Because this site is more of a scrapbook than anything else, it functions as a memory keeper for my tired brain.
