Somehow I’m Still Breathing
Things have gone downhill quite a bit for me since my last post. I don’t want to go into details, but the changes have left me with more free time than I had before. This means that I should hopefully be able to post more frequently than I have been. I can also catch up on… Continue reading

Finding Dory Reaction
I finally went to see Finding Dory in theaters (back on July 5th). I don’t like going right when movies open cause everyone’s there and it’s just too crowded for me, so I went with a friend on a Tuesday night. I’ve seen a post going around Facebook from an adoptive mom saying that Finding Dory is a movie that should… Continue reading

Within the mental health community and advocacy work, we like to separate the person from the disorder. We encourage people to say: “I have bipolar disorder,” instead of “I am bipolar.”… Continue reading

Emotional Exhaustion
Things have happened recently that have left me emotionally exhausted. That’s not to say that I haven’t enjoyed them, because I really have. But they’re just going to really take some time to recover from. One thing that I’ve recently found, and posted on my blog’s Facebook page, was a self-care printable. If you click… Continue reading
About Me
Hello! Welcome! My name is Katy!
You can find me drinking coffee until it’s time for wine. Currently have 5 tattoos, but plans for more are in the works.
I’m a birthmom over 8 years post placement. I’ve been in a birthmom support group since November 2018, and will be leading my own come May 2023.
On Sunday mornings you can usually find me in the nursery or on the production team at church.
Various times throughout the year, you can find me staying with someone’s dog(s) while they’re away on a trip – so don’t be surprised if there are stories or pictures every so often.
