Yesterday, Phoenix turned 5 years old. I don’t usually recycle words, but I do think I said it best yesterday. To my wild one, the child with more personality than should be allowed to exist in one single body, the most literal and hilarious person I’ve ever met, the child with ZERO filter…and the sweetest …
It’s been a rough 24 hours. And the later it gets into the night, the more I’m allowing myself to feel it. I was actually in the middle of writing my tomorrow post. A little behind the scenes for you, I like to have my posts for the day done by 8:30am at the latest. …
Will you feed my depression with chocolate and coffee and hugs? Read More »
When I woke up yesterday, I was so excited it was Friday. As you may or may not know by now, Friday is the one day of the week that I don’t have any standing appointments. Often, I’ll schedule doctor appointments on Fridays, but not always. My excitement for my “quieter than normal day” quickly …

Today was harder than it should’ve been. I’ll detail that more tomorrow, I promise. But today was hard. I got through it…we got through it. It didn’t end it tragedy. It didn’t end tragically. Yet, I’m still struggling. Today was triggering. My son’s health was seriously jeopardized. He’s fine. It’s fine. He’s safe. But I …
Today is the day I’ve been dreading. The day we take our 12 month old to Dallas for his super big important emergency appointment to see our neuromuscular doctor. She’s worked with our family for a good few years, and she’s pretty much the head doctor in their care. Remember, we have a super weird …
Atlas Isaac. Today, you turn one. To be honest, first birthdays are always a bit hard for me. There’s just something so special and so magical about the first year. Watching them learn and change so quickly, experiencing so many firsts together, it’s always been an emotional day for me. This one is no different. …
Today, all I want to happen is to allow myself to have a break, some down time, or maybe even an actual day off. Countless times, I have told my husband that “I wish I could just have the time to be properly depressed, lay in bed and do nothing for a while”. It’s been …
Have you ever noticed that a large majority of parenting is really just glueing or taping things back together? Today alone, I’ve glued a wooden snowman back together (his hat came off), a wooden rocket ship, the handle on my sons FAVORITE Spiderman water bottle that he absolutely can’t have broken, and taped a paper …
He’s 51 weeks old. That means that next week, in 7 days…he turns one. And that’s a day I have been dreading for weeks now. More than likely, he’s my last. Our last baby, our last first birthday…and I hate it all so much. I’ve put off planning a party. Buying decorations. Coming up with …
This morning was a rough one. A really, really rough one. Again. And I’m not going lie, it’s starting to feel like I’m losing the war. I am tired. Literally. Physically, emotionally, mentally…I’m just so done. I can’t keep waking up at 4am. I can’t keep having these same battles, day after day. For a …
