Our Story:

My name is Stacy Greenleaf. I am 36 years old and a mom of 6 children. 3 through birth and 3 through foster care adoption. I did foster care from May 2007 till Novemeber 2011 and have provided care for 8 children in that time. I have been married to my husband Terry for 16 years. We are a one income household and I am always looking for ways to save money. People refer to me as a stay at home mom, though I'm always going somewhere! Three of our children have diagnosed disabilities and are receiving several services. In home, at school and by many doctors, specialist, counselors and Phyciatrist's. My life is never dull, and though I'm always looking to improve it I would'nt change a thing! Welcome to my crazy, happy life!

Good Morning, its been awhile....AGAIN!

Well its 6:18 am and I'm bound and determined to write something! LOL! Carson lost his first tooth! What an experience, nothing like helping a child with sensory issues pull out a "barely hanging on by a thread tooth!" and then excited for the tooth fairy to come only for him to get all anxious about the tooth fairy coming while hes asleep! Oh, poor Carson!
I've been doing pretty good at trying to save money and be more conscious of our amount of waste! Its such a learning process, and I still don't get a lot of support!
I did make my first batch of homemade Chocolate syrup! I didn't think it came out bad at all, as a matter of fact i prefer it! but Carson didn't like it!, I'm thinking of making small canning jars of it for Christmas presents!
Ive been hanging laundry all over my bedroom, I'm still looking for a clothes drying rack! a friend of mine is giving me her cloth diapers, this journey I'm not exactally looking forward too, but kind of excited to try it!
Anyway i must go get the kids ready for the bus! Have a great day all!
Oh, I cant believe I forgot to mention this! Cathryn's adoption is Monday the 14th! woo-hoo! I can't wait till shes ALL ours! She has truly blessed us!
