So Not eBay

Do you have local "selling" pages on Face.book? Have you heard of these or checked into them? If not I HIGHLY suggest it! Not only have I cleared out TONS of "stuff" to make way for more room and to simplify our lives, but have picked up LOTS of great deals! The kids' Christmas gifts are DONE thanks to our three local sales pages! Some amazing items!

Our newest "find" was delivered tonight and the kids were beyond excited! For a VERY reasonable price, I was able to get a trampoline, and have it delivered and set up! I can't tell you the excitement! This was a FRACTION of the cost of a new one and we were already planning to get one in the spring. It needs one rope to tie on the enclosure net, where you can see it's slipped down the pole a bit, but not too bad! Some good friends of ours recently moved nearby and stopped over tonight to try it out for a bit... good times!

About Me

I am a single mom to four amazing kids; each of whom just happen to have been adopted. The first three were adopted through foster care, and we just completed an international adoption from Haiti. Our family has grown through adoption and I am all the more blessed to know each of my children. I worship a mighty God, teach Special Ed, love bargains, and am inspired by Pinterest... come along with us for the ride!

What you should know about HIV

-HIV can NOT be spread through casual/household contact. HIV is not spread through hugging, kissing, shaking hands, sharing toys, sneezing, coughing, sharing food, sharing drinks, bathing, swimming or any other casual way. It has been proven that HIV and AIDS can only be spread through sexual contact, birth, breastfeeding and blood to blood contact (such as sharing needles). - HIV is now considered a chronic but manageable disease. With treatment, people who are HIV+ can live indefinitely without developing AIDS and can live long and full lives. - People who are HIV+ deserve to be treated with love, respect, support and acceptance as all people do. Additional information on transmission of HIV can be found on the Center for Disease Control website: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources

Little Did I Know

Little did I know that the road would be so rocky
Little did I know that the trip would take so long
Little did I know that my heart could hurt so much
Little did I know that God is never wrong

Little did I know that love could be so powerful
Little did I know that a dream so far could go
Little did I know that God would place the right ones
Little did I know that my heart, so large, could grow

Little did I know that a dream has it’s own timing
Little did I know that this day would finally come
Little did I know that four souls would be sent to guide me
Little did I know that they would choose to call me mom

But God knew all along and He had a plan to follow
God knew all along that my dream would soon come true
God knew all along that we five should be together
God knew all along that I’d share it all with you
