Journey of Peace
My act of self-kindness for Day 20 was...
Lexy and I went out for dinner (to McDonalds) since Brooke was at World's of Fun with her class and Mike had to work late. Nothing at home sounded good and I really didn't want to make dinner for just the two of us so we went out!

- I am a biological, adoptive and former foster mom (for 8 yrs) all rolled into one. This is a place for me to journal/scrapbook the happenings in our life. We are currently adjusting to our new normal after adding three new little ones to our family in Sept. 2012 though adoption from the foster system. I love to hear from you!
