One of the things our family loves doing is celebrating any holiday…like…ANY HOLIDAY!!! What better holiday to celebrate than uplifting your father for doing an amazing job as a daddy. Father’s Day is an opportunity for me to get creative and pamper the man my girls call Daddy.
As my now 9-year-old daughter navigates life battling very mild low muscle tone, I can’t help but think about the other families out there navigating through their own story and trying to make sense of this thing called life. How do they hear about the various resources out there for Read more…
It is that time of year again where you can dust off the Easter decor and get ready to craft it up. Easter is that time of year where I seem to get energy to pull out crafts galore for the kiddos. Maybe it is the nicer weather or maybe Read more…
“Wait until your youngest is four years old,” they say. And, of course, I don’t listen. Here I am, getting a family dog, and potty training my toddler at the same time…CRAZY right!?! ABSOLUTELY! But…hear me out on this one. We are in a pandemic with not much better to Read more…

Ah, yes! It is that time again…when you sit back and settle into family traditions…or come up with some new ones to compliment the ones already in place.
