Life after loss with autism, preemies and a rainbow baby
My three year-old was officially introduced to Peeps this weekend.

I had big goals for today. It is my husband’s birthday and since I never have anything done ahead of time I had to work on his birthday gift with three small children who are banned from most shopping malls in tow. Putting my hours on Pinterest to good use, I picked a few cute […]
Let’s continue my efforts to look on the bright side, shall we? Recently, my son found his way to the only permanent marker yet to be banished from our home. Upon finding said marker, he feverishly decorated my kitchen and himself. After weeks of tweeting, googling and testing products, I have ultimately gotten the marker […]
