twitter anyone?

@theshannonshans
i'm not saying it's interesting, i'm just tweeting about it.

i don't know what you're looking for, but i know what you'll find...

the schans' have a full and funny and hard and happy life...a life so sweet, in fact, that i sugar-coat nothing.

in this house, i'm the mom (the boss). i have four beautiful children (but they're all super loud and messy) and an amazing husband who is my perfect pair (but who i can also track like a bear because of all the debris he leaves in his wake wherever he goes) all of whom i love without condition.

this place is meant for my lovely (and super insane) reality to be shared in hopes of finding some sense in the happenings of our days.

here's hoping you find what you didn't even know you were looking for.

November is Adoption Awareness Month!

Over the past 30 years, over 250,000 children have been adopted from foreign countries. BUT there are currently 140 million children waiting to be adopted worldwide. Have you ever thought about adoption for your family?
