Well hello there! If you haven’t heard from me in about a week, that’s because I have had basically zero internet or cell service! We (mostly) disconnected, and hung out on the big blue sea for the past 7 days. That’s right, yesterday morning we disembarked from our very first ever cruise! We did a […]
DISNEY WORLD!!!!!! Well, kind of. Let’s back up. 24 hours ago, we woke up and drove the 2 hour drive to the airport. We got the kids up at 4:30am to leave at 5. They thought we were going to a doctor appointment, a lot of their doctors are 2 hours away and we frequently
Just like that, we’re back to our regularly scheduled programming. It doesn’t take long to get right back into the swing of things back at home, does it? Yesterday was my first full day back at home in 2 weeks. It was a typical Monday. Wake up. Take the 6 year old to school. Come

Drinking coffee on a Disney bus, headed to Magic Kingdom. That’s what I’m doing right now. Yesterday was 22,000 steps of BUSY. We hit ALL 4 PARKS (a first for me), and had a really great day. We started the day at Animal Kingdom. I woke up the tiniest bit late, at 7:04, and we

Tonight, we will make the 2 hour drive to my hotel room before my 6am flight tomorrow morning. It’s officially day 1 of my trip, and I sure do have a lot of feelings about it all. But first, therapy. Last night went about exactly how I needed it too. I knew my husband needed

The thing about trauma is that there’s always going to be certain triggers associated with it. Some will be obvious, like…fireworks are a certain kind of loud, and that might be triggering. Being alone in a room with a person you don’t know might be triggering. Being in a room with someone you do know

Something absolutely crazy happened last night…. IT RAINED. It literally has not rained here in…months. So it was an extremely welcomed change. Especially because it brought with it about 10°f cool weather, so we’ll finally be out of the 100s (for a few days anyway). It was not a bad ending to an already long
