Life after loss with autism, preemies and a rainbow baby
So my little Parker has become quite the costumer. In order to hang out with him once in a while I’ve taken up costuming as well. It all started when I volunteered to costume the kids’ show a few years ago assuming this meant I was assisting some costumer employed by the theater. Well surprise, […]
McKenna has reached full-on American Girl obsession. She went from having no interest in them to wanting all of the American Girl® dolls and all of their accessories. She just needs parents with a much larger bank account to make her dreams come true. Her first major request was the McKenna doll because how could I […]
I shower as the sun rises and before they realize it is a new day. Closing my laptop and vowing not to open it again, I gather the first of sleepy heads into my lap and watch his feet dangle, ever closer to the floor. There have been too many have to’s and one more […]
Did I ever mention two of my children cannot have dairy? Have you ever clicked on every pretty recipe on Pinterest tried to find good recipes that do not include dairy?

We wrapped up Aladdin Junior in February. My absolute favorite part of the show was having a junior costumer this time who just happened to be Parker. Doing Aladdin costumes with my son was such an awesome experience. He’s great at sewing and there’s nothing like having someone right there at a sewing maching, ready […]
I’ve been practicing yoga at home for almost three years. At some point I came to the realization that if I had to attend a class somewhere I was never going to get in shape. Once I started looking for ways to do yoga at home I found a huge amount of classes online. With […]
McKenna is in love with those slow rising squish toys. The ones that cost like $10 a piece, are played with for ten seconds then eaten by the dog– those toys. Luckily she’s turning into a creative little kiddo and found a way to make a squish toy on her own. As soon as she […]
