It's Time to Take My Love for Photography to the Next Level After a lot of encouragement from family and friends, this month I decided to take my love for photography to the next level. I'm now offering affordable photography to families who have children with special needs. Taking photos makes me so happy and I'm having a blast !You can read more this new adventure here. 2. My Kid Knows How to Persevere I picked Jackson up from school two weeks ago and was told he hadn't Continue Reading
We Rock The Spectrum {The Perfect Place to Play}
Something as simple as going to the park or the Chick-fil-a play place can be difficult when you have a child with special needs. I avoided both (or drove around to find the one with the least amount of people) for many years. I even wrote about a stressful Chick-fil-a experience once and it's been one of my most read posts. Thankfully our trips to the park are problem-free these days, but I still am not a fan of crowded Chick-fil-a. So what's a mama to do when her child needs to burn some Continue Reading
Four Things I Learned In August
Writing Is My Offering There's several reasons this space has been silent this summer. For starters, I wanted the summer to be about making memories with Jackson.

But this summer you've blown us away. You've found your voice and you're on your way to great things. Have I told you how Continue Reading
Where We Go To Breathe {And the Difference a Year Makes}
We waited all summer to sink our toes into the powdered-sugar sand. It's hard to believe our week at the beach has already come to an end. I'm not sure how I acquired my love for sand and salt water. Growing up I spent summers in the cool mountain air of Colorado. My parents just aren't beach people; but it has become my happy place. Jackson's too. He's quite the little beach bum. We've been home less than 48 hours and he's already asking to go back. Maybe we should relocate? Destin Continue Reading
