Foster Shower :)

Wow 2 posts in 2 days! Baby steps!!




Back in May I was given the most amazing Foster Shower by 2 of my best friends. It was absolutely gorgeous. It included all of my closest friends and family.  Plus it gave me a reason to finally use one of those registry guns! Check out the pictures below of the amazing afternoon filled with so much love and support!!

A weekend away

So baby girl arrived on October 27, 2016. From someone who travels a lot, spends time with friends every chance I get and enjoys a cold one- the last four and a half months have been rough. Not because she has been a difficult child or that the majority my friends have not been supportive, but my life has moved to work, get a babysitter so I can work some more, sleep, play with the baby in the evening and sometimes see my friends. I have felt guilty about getting a babysitter on weekends or evenings because I want to make sure she feels loved and not passed off to other people all the time. Now I know that it is better for parents to have that time away, trust me, I teach it to prospective foster parents but when you are in the throws of life and working 87 hours in 2 weeks (all during her wake hours) taking more time away from her doesnt seem fair. A male friend of mine said something to me a couple months ago on one of those rare nights I got to go out (it was cut short because she ...

So much has happened 4 months

Wow.... So much has happened in the last 4 months. Shortly after my last post, I got a new job (in a totally different demographic) and started as a Licensing and Training Coordinator at Agape for Youth, Inc. (a private foster care agency-- go figure!) :) Then 2 weeks later received my first placement from the county! A beautiful 10 month old little girl. Figuring out my new position at work and how to juggle the single parent role on no sleep has been my life. I will be getting back in to the swing of blogging about the wonderful world of  foster care (and maybe will be able to give some better insight since I live and breath it everyday!) Stay tuned!!!

In her shoes

Ever have that moment where you are in someone elses shoes? And I don't mean mentally putting yourself in someone else's situation or literally putting someones shoes on. I mean you give someone so much grief (even write a blog post about it) then 6-7 months later are doing the exact thing they did and go "ah, I get it now." Well, I had that today at work and I made my boss uncomfortable when I cried because of this realization. For the last 5 months I have been the Licensing and Training Coordinator at a local private foster care agency. Until a couple months ago, I was primarily doing training of prospective foster parents and recertifications of current foster parents. At the begining of February, I got my first assessment for a new foster parent! I was so excited to make a difference to someone's life and do "such a better job then my home assessor".  I thought we would be done by the middle of February. We weren't. I was for sure I would have ...
