Life after loss with autism, preemies and a rainbow baby
I don’t really love being in front of the camera and I’m also not fantastic at video-editing so I’m going to attempt to start sharing a few vlogs here to see if I can get better at both. Today I’m sharing the kids Halloween costume choices and also accepting full responsibility for the indecision gene […]
This Father’s Day I find myself reflecting on the amazing dads I have been surrounded by, my own dad, my late grandfather and, of course, my husband who has been a parent I could only dream of to our children. I will always remember my grandfather and his strength, think of my dad and smile. […]
I never talk about this. I let people wonder. I let them look at me and look at her, then look again when she calls me “Mom.” I have heard it all. Are you the mother? You must be sisters. And my favorite? You don’t look old enough to be her mother. I should be […]
We discuss the Easter Bunny and whether he flies like Santa or just hops for transportation.

We see him every time we leave the house, hunched beneath bags and blankets in the winter, or riding his bike against traffic, trying to catch a breeze in the summer heat. I want to bring him a coffee or a water or a blanket or a fan, but I never do. Braving Christmas errands […]

I have been searching for four years for the perfect one. This is my winter song to you. The storm is coming soon, it rolls in from the sea And maybe there never will be something perfect. My voice; a beacon in the night. My words will be your light, to carry you to me. […]
