About Me

A very old picture of me


HI! My name is Rachel! Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting. I really appreciate you taking the time to read my blog, and please know that I read each and every comment, and make a sincere effort to reply to them.


I am 30 years old and have been happily married for 10 years. My husband and I live in a small town in Oregon. We bought a house 2012 with plans to fix it up, but so far it looks very, very similar to when we moved in.

I am a conservative Christian and try to put God first, but don't always succeed at that. I am also a wannabe hippie. Which basically means that I do weird things like use "mama cloth", but I still love to drink soda and eat McDonald's.

I am a housewife, which I love.  I am not very good at it, as in my house is never very clean and my meals are very random.  I have one little boy, whom I call Little Guy on my blog, he is four, and such a joy.  If you click on the following link, you can read my infertility story.


I am not a super awesome writer, but I really enjoy writing, and hope you enjoy reading what I write. I also hope that I can help other people who are going through infertility know that other people are going through it with them. Something that I would love to do (but fail miserably at) is write really great posts on Biblical topics, but I am prone to rambling when I try.

Breastfeeding An Adopted Child - The Tenth Day of Christmas

Today we are hearing from Teglene.  Her story is pretty long, but trust me, it is totally worth reading through!  She also has a great blog, called The Breastfeeding Mother . I always knew I wanted to breastfeed my children. I couldn ’t imagine doing it any differently. I was lucky enough to give birth to two beautiful boys and I enjoyed breastfeeding them both. Not that it was easy or without struggle, but it was what I wanted to do and loved doing it. In fact, I liked it so much, and felt so passionate about breastfeeding that I became a La Leche League Leader, so that I could help other breastfeeding moms. I really took to the idea of “Mothering through breastfeeding”. It wasn ’t just a feeding method for me, but a relationship with my child. My husband and I always talked about adopting a child who needed a family. We thought, if we can’t have kids of our own then we will adopt. Even if we can have kids of our own, maybe we will still adopt. After the birt...

Why I Choose Christian Light Education Homeschool Curriculum

Last summer I decided that I was going to homeschool our foster daughters while they were on summer vacation.  There were two reasons for this: 1) Two of the three girls were behind academically.  I really hoped that by working through the summer we could help them get on track for the next school year.  They left our house soon after school started, so I don't know how well it worked. 2) I don't allow my children much in the way of screen time, and these girls were accustomed to having TV and tablets in their rooms all the time.  So they never really knew what to do with themselves.  I figured school work for the morning would help with that dilemma. Choosing a curriculum was difficult for me.  I know that some people bounce around and change curriculum a lot, but whatever I got, I hoped I would like enough to use the non-consumables with Little Guy.  I don't like wasting money, and I hate the idea of some topics falling through the cracks bec...
