    Years ago there was a little girl that always felt so lonely. Even if others were around she felt still alone. She didn’t understand why but she had trouble connecting with others and making friends. One year she was sent to summer camp. Despite begging to stay home she was told the same thing she…

    My hooks have been super busy making baked goods lately. My kids got really excited when I made their favorite cake flavors for pretend play. I love the carrot cake and chocolate cake myself. 🎂🍰 Which are your favorites? I think I might add a candle on top of some of the cakes. I’ll update…

    I designed and made this hat about 5 years ago. I’m not sure if it was originally for myself or my husband but he tends to wear it out more than I have a chance to, so I’ll say it’s his. I love this dead fish hat, it’s my favorite hat, for my favorite guy.

    Something I never thought I would do was trade in coffee for tea. I lost my taste for coffee during the great food aversion of pregnancy #2 and, to be honest, being a tea drinker has been one of the secret things I’ve always wanted be (and not just regular iced tea or something that…

    You loved your parent(s) with all your might but love wasn’t given back. It doesn’t mean your feelings became invalid the day you realized they didn’t care. As a child you can only know what you are taught. It can be confusing when a parent or guardian appears to love you when others are around…

    I know what it’s like to grow up feeling like you had no one: that you couldn’t trust anyone. To grow up in fear of loss or being hurt again. I know what it’s like not being accepted and being neglected. I understand brokenness and loneliness. I know what it feels like to feel all…

    My husband struggles with executive function (also an indicator of ADHD, which he was treated for during most of his childhood up to college. The negative effects of the medication didn’t help his development growing up, however). He does better when he has coffee in the morning but he becomes acclimated to  it after a…

    Our website has recently changed in a big way (a good way). After a lot of prayer and conversations we’ve finally changed it to be about our ministry instead of just a shop. It has been on my heart for years to start a ministry for children who have suffered from abuse, sexual abuse, neglect,…
