Update
I know it's been a while since I've posted, once again. It seems that my blog is always the thing that always gets pushed to the back burner. No matter how much I want to keep it at the forefront, it never happens. I'm just usually too tired at the end of the day to do anything with it. Also, I'm trying to launch my Rodan+Fields business, so … [Read more...]

Night to Shine 2017
The last year with Caleb has been very difficult. There haven't been a lot of smiles. There's been a lot of tears, yelling, and screaming. But, last night, I saw more smiles on his face than I have seen in a long time, and it was all thanks to Night to Shine and the Tim Tebow Foundation!

Self Care: Weeks 3 and 4
Well, if you thought you missed Week 3's post, there wasn't a Week 3 post. Quite frankly, I was pretty upset at the results.

Self Care: Week 1 – I Made It
If you didn't see my post last week, I posted about how important it was for special need moms (and dads) to take care of themselves, but how hard it is for us to do so. I finally had made the decision that it is time for me to do something about my staggering weight. You can read that post here. The first thing I was proud of myself about was … [Read more...]
Special Needs Mama’s and Self Care

I do monitor comments, so nasty comments will not be approved, but I will still see them and it is not okay to be mean to someone. I share this because special needs mama's and self care a lot of times seems like an … [Read more...]
