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 […]

I’ve been an emotional mess lately. Reagan is starting preschool this month. Yeah, this month. We signed her up in February, claiming the very last spot that was open, and I thought between February and August, I’d surely have enough time to prepare myself. But actually, I don’t think any amount of time would have […]

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 […]

We’ve had some pretty great weekends recently. Of course our life is not Instagram perfect, staged and always lovely, I’ll never pretend for a moment that it is, but we’ve stretched our boundaries, moved our comfort zone further out and have started exploring the world a bit more with Reagan.

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 […]

“Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice […]

There’s things you just don’t expect when you think of your life plan. Having a child with special needs is one of them. When Reagan had her metabolic crisis and we were in the hospital for two weeks, some Disney characters came around to take photos with the kids in the hospital. The photo we […]

I recently watched this TED talk by one of the leading Dr.’s in GA-1. Sometimes I forget how serious Reagan’s GA-1 is. I forget because I am truly, truly trying to not live in fear. I am doing everything I can all the time to trust God. When a fearful thought comes into my head, I […]

“Will evildoers never learn–those who devour my people as men eat bread and who do not call on the Lord? There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is present in the company of the righteous. You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the Lord is their refuge.” -Psalm 14:4-6 “We won’t begin […]
