Recently, my family and I flew from Orlando, Florida to Sydney, Australia. My daughter was gifted this trip by the amazing organization Make a Wish Foundation who grants wishes to kids with life-threatening illnesses. Read more about her story HERE. Although I knew this would be a trip of a lifetime, I was really stressed out in the days […]
So, here we are at the two year mark with Vivia being treated for JDM. Here she is a couple of weeks ago. So grown up. Life as we knew it ceases to exist. We have a new life with new foods, new routines, new habits, new heartaches, and new “normals”. Vivia continues to […]
Before I say anything, I need to say that this is not going to be an unbiased review on Oz the Great and Powerful. That would be impossible since I am already a huge Wizard of Oz fan. I will never forget the first time I laid eyes on that spectacular movie.The music, the imagination, […]
Good morning, beautiful families! I wanted to share, real quick that a story I wrote about our (mostly my, as her mom) journey with JDM has posted this morning on a blog called The Lovely Project.

I have been having issues lately with my 3 year old who just decided to now assert himself against any and all authority figures. Many times this takes on the form of a temper tantrum, or a full-on meltdown. And I have been at a loss. Mainly, because I thought we had escaped this whole […]
All dinners are not created equal. This fact has led to many a time of stress and horror at our house. So, of course I have begun to research the topic furiously, and came upon a couple of great articles. What better place to find an article like this than on a website called “Dinnertime, […]
Anyone who knows me, knows that I love a good hunt. I LOVE A GOOD THRIFT STORE. Some of my friends get it, some don’t- but I can tell you this… I am A PRO when it comes to thrift store finds! And even the friends who don’t “get it” are constantly complimenting my wardrobe […]
Since words cannot describe how this song made me feel, Just listen to it yourself. It’s like this guy read my mind, but did so while pulling my heart out through my guts. *sobbed and sobbed. Afraid to love Something that could break Could I move on If you were torn […]
