POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I’m excited to share that my newest children’s book, Adoption Made Us Family, is officially available on Amazon!
This heartwarming book tells the story of Lucy, an 11-month-old girl adopted from China, and the excitement of her new family as they prepare to welcome her home.
Through colorful illustrations and a Christian message, the story celebrates adoption, family, love, and belonging.
At its heart, this book shares a message that connects with the mission of Hope 360: Every life has a story, every child is uniquely created by God, and everyone needs to know they are loved and have a place to belong.

My hope is that this book encourages families, celebrates the beauty of adoption, and reminds children of God’s love for each of us.

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” - Psalm 139:14

📖 Adoption Made Us Family - Available Now on Amazon!

Thank you for your continued encouragement and support!

SURPRISE!! 🥳🙌🏼🎉 We successfully pulled off a surprise trip to FL for Doug’s 60th birthday! Found the best Airbnb with a full backyard- pool, pickleball, basketball, fire pits, corn hole, player, hot tub, mini golf, outdoor movie theater, ping pong, cabana & tiki hut! Inside had air hockey, pool table, full coffee bar, arcade, bunks with slide & 5 bedrooms- so glad we could all hang together! Also loved Anna Maria Island, Coquina Beach & Bean Point ☀️🌴 Thank you to @caleblkauffman @oliviatronnier @jonahdkauffman @kauffman_ethan @warner.fam @austinjwarner @lucylm_ for making the best birthday memories ever!

Happy 60th to my funny & lovable hubby! 🥳❤️🎉
60 reasons why I love him:

1- He loves Jesus & prays with me every night before bed

2-He’s an amazing dad, loves to spend time with his 4 boys and 3 bonus daughters

3-He is hilarious & laughs hysterically at his own jokes

4-His favorite tool is a made-up gixer

5-The grandkids love him & FaceTime him more than me (I’m jealous)

6-He loves to make up new words (has his own website called Wackinary)

7-His greatest skill is doing the dishes

8-He can sniff out any chocolate in the entire house

9-When he’s bored, he vacuums

10- He sits with me (naps) during the Vikings game

11- He keeps playing cards every night with Lucy and me even though he loses 99 out of a 100 games (60% of the time- one of his jokes)

12- pretty sure he has ADHD so he has not read this far…so that’s all 😂

Just because he has a bad back, sore knees, makes noises when he stands up, takes naps, love his rocking chairs & hammock…doesn’t necessarily make him old, ok yes it’s official. But I love you and look forward to taking care of you until you’re really really old like 70…I mean 100! Love you so much ❤️ @dougkauffman #happy60th🎉
