Katie Addington

Hey guys, welcome! I'm Katie, and I'm Adding Up Addingtons!

Everywhere we are, my family stands out: We are a large family of 10; we are an adoptive family; we are a former foster family; we are a multiracial family; we homeschool; we own our own business; we live our faith out; and we love to adventure together! I get asked LOTS of questions all the time, but rarely when I have time to really answer.

I do want to share and - more than anything - to encourage YOU! So grab your coffee, come sit down, and let me share with you like old friends. I post here every Friday morning (and sometimes other days, as my busy life allows), all about my life and the things we are passionate about. I can't wait to get to know you!
