This week I’ll be participating in Jenna’s commenting challenge, I love to read blogs but I’ve been reading the same ones for awhile now so I’m hoping this will lead me to find some more ‘blog friends’ to add to my list!
So, if you’re visiting my blog for the first time, then welcome! I’m Kate, I’m a part time hairstylist (I work from my in home salon in the evenings) and full time stay at home mom. I’ve been married to my hubby, Robb, for 6 years! Next month we will celebrate 11 years of being together. We live in West Michigan in our dream home we built this past November.
We have 3 beautiful sons, Brenham is in Heaven, he was born too soon on Leap Day 2008, he would have turned 4 this past year. We miss him every day. Although he’s not presently here with us, he’s a very special part of our family. Shortly after his birth and death my kidneys failed, and I was placed on dialysis for 9 months until I received a transplant from my sister who donated one of her kidneys to me! I’ve had a second chance at life and I’m not gonna waste it!
We’ve since added 2 more boys to our family through the miracle of adoption. Grayden turned 3 in May and makes us laugh every day!
Sadler turned 1 in April and is the perfect addition to our family, he keeps us very busy but we couldn’t imagine a day without his sweet smile.
We’ve had a difficult journey to get where we are today but our faith in the Lord has only gotten stronger. We have been so blessed and are very thankful to have the assurance that we’ll be with our son in Heaven again some day!
Thanks for visiting!
And to my regular readers, thanks for reading! I’ve really loved getting to know some of you!

Hi Kate,
I love reading your updates. I also have two boys and live in West Michigan. I found your site through Nicole's (my mom used to work with her mom). I also have two sons, Zander and Grayden. Our youngest son (Grayden too) has Spina Bifida. I blog occasionally at
