You'll need to listen to the full episode to hear every single beautiful miracle that happened for the Carlin family in the past 15 months as they went through one of the hardest experiences of their lives.  But for here, for the notes I'm including Miracle #12 that Lara mentioned on the podcast. It's so beautifully written and she articulated everything so well on the podcast, I cannot wait for you to all listen and be inspired by hear beautiful faith!

It is SO fun to take a peek inside other women's dreams and to see them fill needs within their own lives and cultures. Sailaja was awe inspiring to me, I was so excited just chatting with her about her endeavors and the reasons behind why she started her business- Bharat Babies.

Debi was SO much fun to talk to and food for my curious soul! I really enjoyed learning about unschooling for the first time a couple of weeks ago with Bethanie Garcia, so this was an extension of that conversation where I got to see it at the end of the process as her daughter is nearly done with her high school years and moving into her future as an adult.

Fertility issues made it hard to get her first daughter here, but they were able to conceive and bring her into their family biologically. When they started suspecting some of the same patterns with fertility they decided to jump right ahead into the adoption route. The adoption happened rather fast and with two children now in their home she felt a little while later that she still needed more children.

Kristin is smart as a whip and on top of being a mom of 4 including a set of twins, she is a BYU Idaho professor online for their pathway program, online high school teacher of -psychology and AP Psychology and author of a fabulous novel- The Others.

I love connecting with other mothers as the host of this podcast because it fulfills me and reminds me that I'm not alone in any of my perceptions or excitement in this journey of being a mom. Katelyn's perspective on motherhood really resonated with me and I'm excited for you to hear about everything we chatted about from kids names to homeschooling adventures.

Brittney had dreams of becoming a mother- but was prepared to wait a bit longer than six months into her marriage to start a family. But as life likes goes- she was thrown a curveball and found out she was pregnant!

Just as she had gotten used to the idea that she would be a mother- life threw another curve ball at her 17 week appointment and revealed that she'd have twice the opportunity to learn motherhood- surprise! It was TWINS!

Kate is one of the strongest people I know- and I've followed her life through social media for over a decade now- through beautiful amazing memories and staggering heartbreak. I've watched her navigate through territory nobody ever expects and have seen her grow into her role as a single parent with grace and humor.
