Life after death- pregnancy after Phoebe
This has been a long journey in this past 10 months, and I want to thank every single person who has read Phoebe’s story. This is a dream that felt like it died when our daughter passed, but God had a plan. At the beginning of this year, I felt strongly the word over our…

Isaac and Autism- doing a new thing
It has been a solid month sense Isaac has began ABA therapy amongst his other 3 therapies he was weekly. In total, he has 28 hours of therapy a week. It’s a lot for an adult much less a toddler. We are just beginning to see cracks in walls of understanding who Isaac is and…

Totally honored

Why I teach my children to never be ashamed of who they are
Originally posted on Babies and Gentleman: I honestly was not planning on writing something like this online for a few years now. But here we are. The ugliness of racism and hatred and homegrown terrorism has made its way into the forefront of our news, homes and our hearts. It’s when children of all colors…

Stay at home mom, year two
Well…this has been some kind of year, hasn’t it? Yesterday as I was getting lunch for the boys “I’m still standing” came up on my playlist from the album ‘Sing’. I know it seems weird but a singing teenage gorilla burning through those piano keys made me suddenly really thankful I am alive. By the…
