Today I'm excited to have my friend and fellow adoptive mama Kristin Hill Taylor guest post in honor of Adoption Awareness Month! In September, Kristin self-published her family’s story in a book called, Peace in the Process: How Adoption Built My Faith & My Family.

It's Friday! Today's list of Favorite Things has a lot to do with cozy, fall/winter nights and my favorite time of the year! Although I adore Fall, I'm getting really antsy and want to start decorating for Christmas this weekend. This is sort of unlike me.

As I sat in my car, taking in the gorgeous Fall leaves that surrounded me, I found myself admitting to Him that I sometimes feel like a fraud. I love Continue Reading
