Yes.No.I told you so.

After getting the kids on the bus.
I had some cuddle time with Addison while she watched The Tigger movie.
During so I browsed Twitter {I know surprise, surprise}
And....

First THIS
and then THIS

I know there are days where I say yes when maybe I shouldn't.
It's something my husband brought up to me a few months ago and I try [mostly] to be more aware of it.

........

And then I go into Olivia & Addison's room and I turn up their radio.
The lady on the radio is talking about not adding too much on your plate and relaxing this holiday season.

Um....ok!
And it's not that I think I'm doing too much.
Our calendar is not overflowing with Christmas parties.

But my mind.
My mind is constantly going.
Thinking about the what ifs.
And they whys.

Praying for peace of my mind.
A quiet heart.
So I can hear His guidance.
So I can hear how to go about some things.
What to say and what not to say.

And most importantly how to pray.

  1. Yes! I think sometimes even when our calendars aren't busting with activities, it's hard to be OK with the simple holidays and not try to create the fairytale holiday busting with glitter and frosting.

Hello if you don't know me I'm Katie I {obviously} blog here and you can find my instagram & twitter ---> Two things in my bag: 1. My cute little notebooks I found at Target and a variety of pens. I love pens. No seriously, you should see my pen + sharpie box.  2. My phone. I am a HUGE picture taker. I love taking pictures and using all the fun picture apps and posting pictures. If you love taking pictures come find me, we can have some instagram fun!!!  Two things I'm looking forward to: 1. Hugs & coffee with friends. Friends I've never technically met. Friends that I will never forget, that will be hard to leave, that just get me. 2. Learning. Learning more about who I am. About the amazing way God created me as a woman. Learning from all these wise women that live with realness and grace. Being filled with His word. See you in 2-ish weeks!!!

We are not part of his story and he is not part of ours

"Write drunk; edit sober" -Ernest Hemingway I've never actually attempted this, but tonight I am. I've had my wine and if you know me at all it doesn't take much to get my lightheaded & giggly. I'm truly not a Windau (my maiden name) when it comes to my alcohol consumption. I put my catholic roots to shame. I'm ok with that. I'm not a mean drunk, but a purely giggly & say inappropriate thing drunk. Today stung. It stung hard. Last Tuesday we got a call for a little 5 month old baby. Technically we got a call for 4 boys but for reasons that I will not share, we could only say yes to little guy. And then there was waiting. And more waiting because our agency couldn't find a home for 4 of the little guys, they came from a sibling group of 6. All 6. Boys. That would be headed for permanent custody. In my mind all the things lined up. I had prayed for an orphan. I had been learning about how to bond with a baby in the adoption sens...
