Celebrating 7
7… where have the years gone?! Every birthday with any of my kids is always bittersweet. We are always so proud of how far they have come and are amazed at the little people they are turning out to be. But, my heart also hurts that time is creeping away. As that saying goes, the… Read More Celebrating 7
One Perfect Day, For Sure
Logan got to experience something truly magical, something that will forever hold a warm place in all of our hearts. On Monday morning, surrounded by the kindest people, kids and families just like ours, she paddled out into the ocean and surfed. Yes, our sweet little girl who cannot walk yet on her own caught… Read More One Perfect Day, For Sure
The Self Care Revolution…I Want In!
Every day I see at least one post about how important is it to take some time for yourself, that self care is not selfish. It’s usually a beautiful picture of a mom at the beach, or the spa, or enjoying a cup of actual hot coffee in a serene setting. For a moment I’m… Read More The Self Care Revolution…I Want In!
Bone Broth
Bone broth is always available in our house. It’s either in the fridge, or frozen in mason jars or ice cube trays for easy access. It is liquid gold over here! When we were still searching for answers for Logan I came across the GAPS diet. It’s basically a super intense diet to heal the… Read More Bone Broth
Are These Really Fair Prices?
I was going through my emails yesterday, and noticed a promotion from a company that specializes in adaptive equipment for Logan. They had several “must have” adaptive strollers for outdoor use, and I always quickly look at these for several reasons. The main reason is that Logan is almost too big for our trusty Jeep… Read More Are These Really Fair Prices?
Sharing Her Locks
Logan has my dream hair. It’s long, thick, shiny, and has those perfect undone curls that turn into those envious beach waves that take forever to perfect. Unfortunately, I have no hair skills. Such a huge disappointment for both of us! I can do a ponytail and simple braids, but that is it! I’ve tried… Read More Sharing Her Locks
Life’s Been Busy…
My posts have been hijacked by life. There have been so many wonderful things happening, and there have been some not so wonderful things (nothing big, just the usual black cloud of sickness that looms in the winter). I just have not had the time nor energy to sit down and write. Today, it is… Read More Life’s Been Busy…
A Night of Art for Pitt Hopkins
This year was the year of the art show! David and I are still in awe over the New York show, and now we are completely blown away by the hearts and talents of everyone in our lives. This last fundraiser of the year was absolutely spectacular. Our niece, Lindsay chose to organize an art… Read More A Night of Art for Pitt Hopkins
Art in the City
Since Logan’s diagnosis people have shown their true colors, both good and bad. Thankfully, we have seen way more good…from friends, strangers, and especially family. And our recent trip (26 hours away to be exact!) to New York City showed us the good even more. About a year ago my cousin, Brian, called me out… Read More Art in the City
Superhero Elderberry Syrup
By now you’ve probably heard something about elderberry syrup. Our great grandmothers swore by it, then it seems like modern medicine pushed it aside, but now it’s making a come back! Natural remedies are back on our radars, and this is one of my favorites! We call it “Superhero Juice”, and Wes truly thinks he… Read More Superhero Elderberry Syrup
