Who I Am

Dear Friend,

Thanks for stopping by my blog.   My name is Rachel, and I'm a Midwestern wife and mom via adoption, college writing teacher of eight years, freelance writer, type I diabetic, and health nut.     I have a type A personality---controlling, demanding, and critical---which yep, even gets on my nerves!   I'm always fighting to yield to God's plan for my life and to relax.    I strive daily for balance and homemade cookies.     My latest hobby is couponing, my motto is "Put on your big girl panties and deal with it!", and my favorite activity is crazy-dancing in the kitchen with my family until we are all sweating and laughing.    I love hanging out with other adoptive families, especially the Adoptive Mamas of the Metro. 

I'm really not all that interesting---just another mom trying to make it day-to-day with little ones and learn more about the unique challenges and joys of adoptive and transracial adoptive parenthood. 

The goal of my blog is to inspire and educate my readers.   Feel free to e-mail me at whitebrownsugar AT hotmail DOT com, join my Facebook page, or follow me on Pinterest.
