HAPPY MAY 6TH. Today is the day I turn 29, and it’s the day I officially launch the brand new home for Alexandria Hinders . com 💃 I have been wanting a new home that really just screams ME for a while now, and it’s finally here. Thanks to the amazing Elizabeth McCray and her […]

I got a phone call today from someone I love dearly asking if I would say yes to opening up our home to foster a tiny newborn. Our house is a disaster with our kitchen reno, I have no clue what work would look like, but we said yes and got to work cleaning and […]

Last summer we refinished our deck, but never had the opportunity to make it a cute & cozy space after, so we decided to this summer. I created a little mood board, and set out to shop all of the pieces we’d need. AMAZON FOR THE WIN. And because it makes it SO much better […]

Dear Foster Mama who had to say goodbye, I am so sorry. Your pain is real. Your grief is real. Whether or not “we signed up for this” doesn’t negate the feelings. Remember that. Commit it to your heart. Don’t let the enemy’s lies tell you otherwise. Thank you for being willing to do one […]

I’ve shared pretty openly about our last few days together here, but I’ve never shared about the guilt I fight daily. We had 3 days between the call where we learned he would be leaving our home and the day that we dropped him off at another home. It has been close to 8 months, […]
