Finding Joy on the Struggle Bus- Your Mind
Comparison and perfectionism were both two of the main front runners in my poll I took regarding what struggles steal your joy. Being someone that has struggled and does struggle with both of these things, I quickly realized that this is an issue of the mind.

The Journey- The Calm Before The Storm
The goal of foster care, if you ask anyone involved or if you've had any of the training, is to reunify the child with the biological family. That doesn't always happen as you know.

I’m Not The Kind of Blogger I Thought I Would Be
God gave me this idea of writing a blog eight years prior to the start of The Round Farmhouse Blog. My initial blog had a name and an idea behind it.

The Journey- Inside the Lisa Frank Folder
There I stood in my living room completely overwhelmed. I was overwhelmed with the medications sitting on my counter that I was to give her.

Most children in foster care come with only the clothing they… Continue reading The Journey- Inside the Lisa Frank Folder

The One Error We All Make
It's baseball and softball season. As a mom of both, I am spending about every evening sitting by a field watching one of my kids play the game. I watch as they step up to bat.

I finally took the plunge and opened our home up with the foster care agency. We were still coming up empty on the house search. So, as you know, not how I had envisioned all of this.
