The girls recently started transitioning to daycare, with today being their official first day. It’s been going well thanks to our amazing nanny who stays with them and is so great with the girls, and especially Ella. The girls’ school is not yet accessible and I don’t think there’s ever been a child with different […]
Do you ever have those moments, usually in the midst of chaos, where you just suddenly realize that you have absolutely no idea what you are doing? It’s as if you are no longer an adult, capable of making decisions, but more like a child trying to navigate an insanely huge world. I’ve had that […]
We all know not to judge a book by its cover, but who doesn’t really? If the cover isn’t appealing to you, why would you even bother picking it up? People are the same way; we’re attracted or turned off by what we see, but sometimes we miss out on some truly amazing people because […]
19 months! So hard to believe that every day the girls are getting closer and closer to two, though right now they’re only 16 months corrected. The girls are starting daycare in September and will start transitioning soon. What an adjustment that will be in so many ways! Ella is reaching more and further away […]

Depending on where you live, your local playground might feature some adapted equipment, most likely a swing.

But, I think one of the most wonderful parts of being a special needs parent is finding the joy and excitement in everything, […]
Have you ever been in your car and looked over and the person next to you was crying? You don’t know why, and you don’t even know them, but you feel like you should do something? You offer a sympathetic smile or wave as you make eye contact before both of you driving off. Last […]
I’ve pretty much written about everything; my c section, breastfeeding, my battle with my weight, my fears for Ella. But I haven’t written much about my relationship. For so many reasons, I didn’t, and I really always felt like I was living a lie. And truth be told, I was. Everyone has assumed things about […]
The other night both girls were up and frantic, and after the third time of pacing with Raegan, I walked by my full-length mirror and snuck a peek. Seriously, my baby is gigantic. Let’s be real; Raegan will always be Itty Bitty to me, but seeing her, her body draped across mine, I realized, she’s […]
