This is what community looks like. Our group of five families said lets have dinner together. Let’s pack our meals, grab a little take out, carry a blanket and set up on this lawn. Let’s talk, even if in broken conversation as we ask our kids to eat, sit still, chew or swallow. Let’s watch […]

One thing I’ve learned is that you need to wisely pick the battles you have with a toddler. For me, the nap battle was a losing one. So I ended them. My friends thought I was crazy…WHAT?!? No more naps? [insert cry emoticon for several rows of text]. It wasn’t worth it anymore. Sometimes we’d […]

We just got done with our annual 24-hour EEG and Reagan did awesome. Remember last year’s EEG? We were stuck in a tiny room, in our Dr.’s outpatient facility, it was 80 degrees, we had to share a community bathroom with 12 other patients, Reagan exploded out of her diaper in a bouncer and she […]

Being a friend to a special-needs mom can be challenging at times. I know because I am a special-needs mom and I’ve discussed this very thing with my girlfriends, who also happen to be the best group of friends anyone could ever ask for. My friends were there when my daughter Reagan had a traumatic […]

This past Sunday we went to church which was a pretty deal because we haven’t been in over a year and a half. Let that sink in. Eighteen months, no church with community. That’s 547 days and a lot of Sunday’s longing for a place our entire family could go. When Reagan had her crisis, we […]

You know how the Bible says not to worry about tomorrow b/c today has its own problems? Rob and I woke up early today. Thursdays are early days anyway b/c Reagan has therapy first thing in the morning, and today was also early b/c I had to show property first thing. We headed out the door, […]

Today I am super excited to have my FIRST ever guest blogger!! In light of the story you are about to read, the writer has requested to remain anonymous. But what they have to say is so important that I pray you read it, and consider how the world reacts to the writer and the […]

I had an unexpected interaction with a man named Oscar today. I met him a few years ago through a fabric store recommendation for a person who could help re-upholster some chairs and pillows. Since then, he’s re-upholstered a glider, four barstools (twice) and six pillows (twice). Most recently, he fixed Reagan’s fabric, fold up […]

It’s been almost TWO months since I wrote something.  To be perfectly honest, between an insanely busy real estate business and taking care of my two year old wonder, I have a list of BravoTV shows on the DVR that I’ve been using all my free time to get through. There’s my Thursday confession for […]

Just logged in to type another blog and noticed this one was never posted from April 2015. So while it’s delayed and it’s not what is happening today, I want to share. And hey, I think we can all use the reminder that God is God and we are not.   We just had a […]
