Hello Beautiful!
I am so excited to be on this journey with you, and boy oh boy am I on a journey!
My name is Catherine Hale and I am the mother of two small boys who are only 7 months apart! You see, after countless tests and several angel babies, we were told by some very certain doctors that I would not be able to carry a pregnancy full term. That carrying full term would be “like shooting for the moon”. So, after a change in direction in prayer and understanding God’s plan for our family, we chose to adopt. After a failed placement and wondering if we were just meant to be a cool aunt and uncle, we were matched with our son James in July. We got to hold him in our arms in November but not before finding out that I was expecting. We were in disbelief but knew that this little one would not come home with us like James but instead would hold a place in our hearts. Fast Forward…I have two beautiful little boys and strength in my faith that I did not know could exist! I am a stay at home mom now, having left my classroom behind but can I tell you the truth…there is not a job out there that is more rewarding than being a mom!
I am constantly trying to find ways to save time doing every day tasks so that I can focus on what I truly want to be doing…hanging out with my two awesome kids and my husband.
I am having a HALE of a time trying to figure out this whole thing called motherhood and I hope that by sharing my learned tricks, tips and mom fails, it will help you in some way or at least you will get a good laugh! I won’t just be sharing the highs though. Some days I’m going to vent, share the lows and share stories that will hopefully get someone through tough times.
Now pull up a chair and let’s get to know one another!
