credit On Wednesday, I explained my desire to come around those who are raising children with disabilities as well as train others how to love on these families. Today is the first post in this series. If you have read many posts on this blog, you have seen the term "Sensory Processing" several times. But, what exactly is it? What does ...

How To Know If Your Child Has a Disability
One question that I frequently receive is "How did you know that there was something 'wrong' with Bubs?" One friend specifically wanted to know if we discovered the issues after having other children and if it was something that others saw. Good questions! Bubs developed on or ahead of schedule as a baby. There wasn't anything that concerned us at ...
What I Wish I Would Have Known as a Young Mommy – Part 1
source This popular post has been updated and is now a podcast. I invite you to read and listen here. This week we will focus on mommyhood.

Disabilities
When we dreamed about a family, my husband and I never imagined that we would spend the first month of our eldest son's life at a children's hospital following his open heart surgery.

First Trip to the Dentist

The first time we went to a family dentist and Bubs had what they call a "Happy Visit." The hygienist showed Bubs the chair and instruments but nothing was ...
It Rears Its Ugly Head Yet Again
Here it is 6:15 Thursday morning and I don't have a blog post written for today. I typically have them written days if not weeks in advance. Today...nothing. But, I think God did this on purpose because He wanted me to share what is on my heart. To give you another glimpse into our family. And for some of you, to give us one ...
“I Hate You!” he said.
"I hate you." He was mad because things weren't going his way. The issue was extremely minor but in his small view of life, he thought the issue was worth exploding over and then he lost it. This isn't the first time that I have heard these words come from my seven-year-old son's mouth. The hurtful phrase started about six months ago and ...
