Today is the last day of “maternity leave” I gave myself 😆. I have it in quotes because really it was just an excuse to lay on the couch for 3 weeks with a baby on my chest while Dylan has actual paternity leave and can do all the dishes 🤣. This first month has been BUH-LISS, and I’ve been soaking it all up because I know reality is coming! Dylan is a CPA (nerd! 🤓) and starts working tax season hours next week. We are so thankful for his job and that it allowed him to even take this past month off! And let’s be honest- homeboy needs to go back to work. He’s going stir crazy. Yesterday he cleaned out the junk cabinet above the microwave like he’s or something. ⠀
⠀
Alright so mamas of litters- gimme all your best tips! How do I leave the house? 😅 best strategy for preschool drop off? I wanna hear any routines or rhythms and genius hacks you know that make mothering a pack of little wolf puppies easier! ⠀
⠀
Ps- with maternity leave over, I’ll be back in action with in person workshops! I’ll work on getting some on the calendar, but in the meantime, remember that you can take my online workshop too! Details for that: www.selahcreativestudio.com/online 🤗💞🎨

📷: Katie Paige Productions and I can’t wait to show y’all the rest from this shoot!

You split the sea so I could walk right through it. My fears were drowned in perfect love.
⠀
We are fully funded y’all. ⠀
😭😭😭💙💙💙😭💙😭💙⠀
⠀
This truly is a miracle- one done by God through YOUR obedience and generous gifts. We could never thank you enough. ⠀
⠀
By you stepping up to give, you said “YES, this one life matters. This baby boy deserves life, and his mama deserves a future. ⠀
⠀
We are beyond humbled. I will never have the words to express the gratitude we have. Thank you for being on this adventure with us, and for being a huge part of Son’s story and legacy. ⠀

🌊🌊 read about how this picture was my promise through this adoption process at the new link in my bio: adoption story on

Tried to take an artsy photo of our completed adoption paperwork, but this really doesn’t even look that thick or impressive 😂 but it does represent six months of collecting all the things we need to officially be a “waiting family” and start being shown to expectant mamas considering adoption!⠀
⠀
I mean we are talking home study reports, hand signed letters of recommendation, original birth and marriage certificates, drug and TB tests, fingerprinting appointments, physical exams, background checks and clearances, detailed questionnaires, agency applications, so many boring copies, a gorgeous profile book designed by Kindred + Co. and more. 😅⠀
⠀
Sticking this tiny packet in the mail today felt so huge, and we are so excited to finally really get this adventure started! We have no idea what God has in store, but we are honored and humbled to be part of this story. ❤️ ⠀
