Have a Lovely Weekend!



What are you up to this weekend? Allie is in Atlanta for the weekend with her dad for a work trip and Christmas party.  We lived there for a while and we loved it.  The south, the warmth, the trees…Oh I am ready to go back!  We finished up our Christmas decorating as it is our FAVORITE time of the year!  Have you all decorated?  We always put up the tree the day after Halloween.  Yeah, we are those people.  Hope you have a good weekend, and here are a few fun links from around the web… 

This made me cry uncontrollably…what a man Carson Wentz is!!  Grab your tissues.

This movie looks hilarious and at times reminds me of some exchanges with my sweet Grace.

The secret to happiness is helping others.

Allie’s Adoption Story

“I didn’t give you the gift of life, but in my heart I know.  The love I feel is deep and real, as if it had been so.  For us to have each other is like a dream come true.  No, I didn’t give you the gift of life; life gave me the gift of you.”   I was given a heart for children very early in life and I knew that I never wanted my passion for children to go untouched.  I wasn’t sure exactly all the ways my life would be impacted by this passion, but I was certain adoption was one of them. Before I was ever in a position to become a mother, I knew that my life would be touched by adoption.  For years, it was on the forefront of my mind to adopt a child internationally.  I had researched international orphanages in high school and some of the conditions of orphanages would bring me to tears and ignited in me an unquenchable desire to speak up for the children that could not speak for themselves.  So, I began praying that God woul...

KCTV5 Interview – Child Advocacy

We are honored to have partnered with the Kansas City Child Protection Center, a nationally recognized child advocacy center. As many of you know, child advocacy is our first passion.  We have always said that Crossing Arrows has a higher purpose than just clothing children.  We are empowering children through clothing AND child advocacy.  We will live out our promise to help serve children in need as well as the organizations who provide life changing services.  We chose to partner with CPC because we believe in their mission and believe that our purpose with Crossing Arrows is to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves and for us, that’s children. The mission of the Child Protection Center is to respect the child and protect their voice throughout the investigation of child abuse. The CPC accomplishes its mission by providing a safe, child-friendly setting in which to interview child abuse victims, coordinating investig...

Welcome to my 1988 Cape Cod

Come on in! Welcome to my home.   I bought my 1988 Cape Cod home almost two years ago with a big vision…to update our home one room at a time.   It is located in my favorite neighborhood in my city and the moment I stepped foot into it, I knew it was meant to be…I felt at home.   I thought I would have the entire house done by now, but didn’t anticipate how time consuming it would be, so I’ve learned to be patient and not overwhelm myself with the work.   The other dilemma I ran into was that the funds I had allocated to the remodel have been reallocated to my new and growing business, Crossing Arrows.   Even though the home was move in ready, I was basically walking into an 80s dream home filled with 80s upgrades that are now outdated.   Each room was highlighted with floral and lots of it, mauve walls, 80s wallpaper, pink 80s carpet, and small mosaic tile countertops (enter dry heave) but it was also so very charming with raised wainscot ...
