Adoption journey

Over the past year, the Lord has been growing, teaching, and challenging our family in so many ways! We are responding to the Lord's leading and are expanding our family through the adoption of a precious baby!

Boy Mom Blog Hop with MobSociety


My hubby & I
when we were 1st married
I'm excited to participate in the Boy Mom Blog Hop hosted by the MOB society! I'm Kelly, blessed to be the wife of an amazing man of God and a homeschooling mama to three precious boys (6yrs, 4yrs, and 6 months). We're so excited to be in the process of adopting a sweet child from Ethiopia. Most importantly, I am absolutely thankful for my Savior and Lord who redeemed me, is daily growing me in faith, and has given me the privilege of proclaiming His Name, holiness, goodness, mercy and love to the world!
my boys:)
my littlest love
My blog includes many of my passions--cooking, homeschooling, everyday life with my boys, truths and encouragement from Scripture, adoption updates and fundraisers (Africa shirts). I enjoy sharing about my current mission field - my boys - and how we are growing in our walk with the Lord as a family. I love to live out my New Orleans heritage in the kitchen-cooking and creating fun and healthy recipes.

My boys favorite activities involve building things... from massive Thomas the Tank Engine tracks/towns, to Trio blocks and Legos. My boys have enjoyed playing with trains and Trio blocks since they were 2 or 3 years old and the fun just gets even better now that they can create and build on their own! Legos have just become age appropriate in the past year... just as a new little one arrived ready to put every tiny toy in his mouth;) My boys really like numbers, so it's appropriate that my 4 yr old's favorite game is the card game UNO. In a recent blog post, I shared several of our favorites--things that don't clutter, but grow their imagination and love for the Lord, such as Adventures in Odyssey audio dramas. 

Look forward to meeting other Moms of boys! Follow me on facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest!
If you are a mom of boys - come and join the link up to meet and encourage each other:

  3. Hi, Kelly! What a beautiful family you have! I am really loving this blog hop that allows me to "meet" so many fantastic moms of boys. It is truly inspiring to see so many moms who take their responsibilities raising and growing men so seriously! I will be a new follower awaiting news of your adoption and new little one! I am also a big adoption advocate as I was adopted when I was 8 years old along with my teenage brother (amazing, I know, that we found forever parents willing to adopt us both). Blessings!

    1. Great to "meet" you Hannah! It sounds like we do have a lot in common! Adoption is quite a journey that requires faith and trust in Him, we just can't wait to hold our little bundle and bring him/her home soon!

  7. What blessings you have :) How fun your house must be... I do wish my boy had a brother, and Lord willing, he already does and we just have to bring him home. We are praying for God's direction as we are seeking adoption as well. Blessings to you on your endeavors and it is very nice to meet you :)
