…Our home aka The Lighthouse has passed inspection for our adoption. Can I just say, this was a huge feat! Our Lighthouse has been in a huge live-in remodel for the past 3 years, thus #DIYplus5. It was a joy to hear our social worker say we just needed to add a latch to a medicine/cleaning closet. Whoop! We have started buying a few things, here and there. This was a huge accomplishment.
