Motherhood and Adoption

May 6, 2013

This week is Mother’s Day week.  As you can imagine, it has been a hard one for me (already).  My mom passed away 6 months ago, so this will be my first Mother’s Day without my mom.  I think about her constantly and miss her more than words can say.  I have 3 children of my own and try to be the best mom that I can be to them every single day.  Motherhood is definitely a journey and I learn something new every day.

I really enjoyed watching this touching video.  As we all know, motherhood comes about in many different ways in this day and age.  Adoption is a beautiful option for some families.  There are situations where a woman cannot have a child of her own, or sometimes she chooses not to.  Other times a woman may not be able to raise a child that she has given birth to.  In both of these scenarios, adoption has been or can be the perfect solution.

The Oxygen channel has a television series that focuses on the topic of adoption.  You can view previous episodes at http://www.oxygen.com/baby.  The second season of their show called “I’m Having Their Baby” will be premiering on the Oxygen channel Wednesday, June 12, 2013 at 10 o’clock eastern, 9 o’clock central time.  The show will  open your eyes to the beautiful and heartwarming journey of adoption.  



I hope that this weekend you will celebrate Mother’s Day with your mom, children, husband, and extended family.  Hug your mom and tell her how much you love and appreciate her!

    I know this week must be so hard for you Stacie. I hope you find comfort in knowing that the blog you started in memory of your mother is bringing happiness to Tiara every day that she receives a card. I think losing a Mother is beyond hard. Hope you can enjoy your week with your beautiful children. xoxo

Happy new week! This palm leaf shirtdress is givin Happy new week! This palm leaf shirtdress is giving instant beach vacation vibes to my day. 

💖Comment for LINKS with sizing details.⬅️

It’s a bit heavier weight than the striped gauze shirtdress that I recently shared because it’s a rayon and cotton blend. It’s currently on sale (today) for a great deal and includes free shipping!🎉

It’s an all around versatile style dress that’s perfect for lunch, dinner, church, vacation, work and more.

This dress was gifted to me in partnership with @lovechicos

I’ve always been an optimistic, smile-first kind of person. Not because life is perfect, but because I’ve learned that joy is often a choice we make in the middle of the messy, ordinary, beautiful moments.

Today, I’m choosing gratitude, fresh air and a pretty dress.💜

What’s something that’s making you smile lately? I’d love to hear it. 😊
