Tyler Jane’s Home Birth
Our girl Tyler Jane was born at home on September 16, 2022 at 12:11pm. We were up in the air about a home birth from the beginning since our insurance didn’t cover home births. However, it was always on my mind. We transferred to home birth at the end of my pregnancy when I realized…

I Am With You Heart and Soul
My husband and I chose to host a seven-year-old Ukrainian girl this past Christmas for four short weeks.
