Because  I have seen the theme “O-fish-ally”, such as O-fish-ally 1 for a first birthday and so on, I was …

Adoption on Mothers Day…

May 14, 2018May 26, 2020 / beachchairtracy/ 13 Comments

My husband and I adopted our daughter out of Foster Care.  She lived with us for years and knew us prior so there was no great trauma having her move in with us.  Her adoption was final this past February.  This is my first Mothers Day as a legal mother.  I have been her mom for years but this year …

Princess Plate…

April 18, 2018April 23, 2018 / beachchairtracy/ 8 Comments

I always said I would be the kind of mom where you put dinner out and they eat it or go hungry.  Enter in a foster kid who was grossly underweight and has a strong personality.  Even the best intentions go out the window! I have a picky eater. I mean REALLY picky eater.  I found a magical plate that …

April 13, 2018May 16, 2020 / beachchairtracy/ 26 Comments

Solo child…

April 4, 2018April 11, 2018 / beachchairtracy/ 6 Comments

I overheard a conversation with Little Girl and her friend. Her friend told her she was an only child.  Little Girl was adamant that she was not.   They went back and forth and then I set the record straight.  She is not an only child.  She has biological siblings.  We adopted Little Girl a few weeks ago and she has lived with …

Gotcha Day! Gotcha Day is the day of adoption! We would like to introduce our daughter. A spunky 7-year-old little girl who stole our hearts the second we met her.

3 hacks every parent needs to know

February 6, 2018February 17, 2018 / beachchairtracy/ 2 Comments

Little girl came to live with us at 4 years old.  This meant that she would be starting PreK at the school I work at.  Lunches were a whole new dimension.  I mean I have packed lunches before but for myself or my husband.  For me usually leftovers from the night before.  With this wonderful addition, mornings were now filled …
