About Me

My Photo
Alaina
I am first and foremost a Christian. I love the Lord and desire to honor Him with every area of my life. I am the wife of a wonderful, dedicated, and loving husband. I am the mother to three precious boys through the miracle of adoption (two international and one domestic). They bring more joy than I ever could have imagined. Our family also includes an adorable miniature pinscher, Pippi. We are excited to be journeying to #4 from China! In addition to being a wife and mom, I'm a part-time dental hygienist and a food blogger. I love to cook, bake, write, and create. I am blessed beyond measure.
