There is always something to be thankful for. During this season of my life, I have struggled to find joy in things. Learning that my sweet baby has a life limiting illness and watching her struggle to do things that come so easily to most other babies has been heartbreaking. Trying to come up with…
If you have been following my past blog posts you know that my three year old has been quite a challenge lately. (Read more here!) Preschool has been a Godsend to our family and my son loves it there. His teachers are amazing. Remember, if you need info on preschool you can check out my…
There seem to be a lot of “social rules” regarding baby registries and some people have very strong feelings about them. When I was pregnant with my first son, my husband and I set up registries at both Babies R’ Us and Target but we didn’t widely share that we had them. My mom felt…
A few days ago I sat in an office of a highly respected doctor that I traveled 1000 miles to have evaluate my baby girl. She told me she didn’t believe my daughter would live past early childhood. I choose to love anyway. I’ve spent 6 days in a darkness that I can’t explain in…

If you follow my posts, you might remember that my toddler just turned three in June. In the last three years I have heard time and time again that three is a difficult age but I never really paid any attention, after all, every age is difficult in its own way. That said, nothing prepared…
Patience. Patience isn’t something that comes naturally to me. When my children make poor choices my instinct isn’t to calmly redirect; it is to yell. When the car in front of my is going under the speed limit my instinct is to yell and pound on the horn (yeah I’m that person, sometimes). When the…
Who am I? I ask myself this question often. For the past almost seven years, the answer has been a mom. Breastfeeding and babywearing were my “thing” I found my friends through these things. I found a job. I found a volunteer opportunity. I created an organization. These parenting acts have been a large part…
