Team Fuest: Recently I'm...

http://teamfuest.blogspot.com/2015/04/recently-im.html

Tuesday, April 21, 2015. Becoming giddy that the weather is FINALLY warming up around here. Not only do I see signs of life with flowers popping up and the grass becoming fluorescent green overnight, but people are actually coming out of their houses and socializing. That's hard to do when the wind is whipping and you have frozen ice chunks slapping you in the head. Welcome to spring! Where you can walk outside and the air doesn't immediately hurt your face. Each morning feels like Christmas. :). What a ...

Team Fuest: Adoption Update: Reflecting On Four Years

http://teamfuest.blogspot.com/2015/01/adoption-update-reflecting-on-four-years.html

Thursday, January 8, 2015. Adoption Update: Reflecting On Four Years. We've had several weeks to process this and we certainly recognize that slim hope is different than no hope. However, we are also trying to be realistic and take into consideration the information we are being given from people who work in this area on a daily basis. January 9, 2015 at 10:36 AM. Dont forget about what others have learned! January 9, 2015 at 1:34 PM. So thankful for the way you continue to let God lead your life. I cant...

I've just started dabbling in the world of essential oils, and am a beginner at best. Once in a while (and when I'm craving a sense of adventure) I attempt to make an everyday product myself, using ingredients I can pronounce and oils that will contribute to my overall health. When I stumble upon a good recipe I'll post it here. :). DIY Body Butter: {Recipe, Cost Breakdown, Review}. DIY Bug Spray: {Recipe, Cost Breakdown, Review}.

Team Fuest: Living in the Tundra // Butterfly Garden

http://teamfuest.blogspot.com/2015/02/living-in-tundra-butterfly-garden.html

Tuesday, February 17, 2015. Living in the Tundra / Butterfly Garden. Andy and I had grandiose Valentines plans that included a trip to a butterfly garden so I could practice using my macro lens. When Valentines Day came the weather was so terrible that we decided to postpone. Thankfully, just a couple days later we both had the day off and decided to take a trip up there. Excursions like this make living in sub-zero temperatures a lot more bearable for me. That reminds me. the orchid show. February 18, 2...

Team Fuest: Essential Oils: One Year In

http://teamfuest.blogspot.com/2015/04/essential-oils-one-year-in.html

Monday, April 6, 2015. Essential Oils: One Year In. WAYS WE USE ESSENTIAL OILS:. 1 To combat sickness. Topically: We alternate using Thieves. And most recently Thyme. When we feel like we are getting sick. We put a few drops along with olive oil in an empty oil bottle with a roller top and roll it on the bottoms of our feet. Diffuse: Another way we combat illness is to diffuse the oils. My favorite combination is Purification. And Thieves. I also love Purification with a citrus oil like Citrus Fresh.

Team Fuest: And Then There Was Philly

http://teamfuest.blogspot.com/2015/06/and-then-there-was-philly.html

Monday, June 8, 2015. And Then There Was Philly. A few weeks ago Andy and I had the opportunity to attend the wedding of one of my good friends in New Jersey, so we seized the chance at a weekend away and spent the next day in Philly. It was quite a stealthy trip, but with just a few hours that afternoon we managed to see several fun spots in the heart of the city. We also took a stroll through some of the parks nearby and visited the tomb of the unknown soldier, as well as some other historic monuments.

Team Fuest: Adoption Timeline

http://teamfuest.blogspot.com/p/adoption-timeline.html

While it seems this journey has come to a close without the end we had imagined, we also recognize that these four years have taught us so much. It doesn't seem right to completely erase them, so for now, this timeline will stay here. Decided to pursue adoption. Mailed application to agency. Got the call that we were approved! Learned of a 90% reduction. Of inter-country adoptions in Ethiopia. Prayed, and decided to keep going. Decided we're all in. Mailed adoption agreement and fee to agency. Dossier ov...

Team Fuest: Orchid Show at the Botanical Gardens

http://teamfuest.blogspot.com/2014/02/orchid-show-at-botanical-gardens.html

Sunday, February 23, 2014. Orchid Show at the Botanical Gardens. Oh spring. I never thought smelling dirt could ignite such hope in my soul, but that is exactly what the dirt did for me today. My mom and I took a trip to the Botanical Gardens. The minute you walk in, the humidity hits you, your glasses fog up, your hair frizzes, and you see more colors than you thought existed after a long and dreadful winter. Also, the succulents. Mom, I think you need to get on that greenhouse idea. And maybe when ...
