Snow

To Plan or Not To Plan
The “spur-of-the-moment” gene did not get passed along to me, or anyone else in my family. I am definitely a Type A kind of gal. When it comes to holidays, vacations, and family dinners I love to make plans months in advance so it will be a memorable...
VICTORY!
My mighty "Christian" has a debilitating fear of needles. Because of this fear and the fact that he needs daily infusions, we access his port once a week and leave it accessed. Due to the physical and emotional stress and trauma accessing causes, my...

The Best is Yet to Come
Despite spending the week of Christmas in the hospital, it was a great holiday! When you are forced to be in a single room without being able to hibernate in separate parts of your home, it's pretty nice even with monitors buzzing and nurses coming in...
Joy in 2013
It's been a rough year. With my son's health issues, our family has struggled. Hospital stays, seeing him endure enormous amounts of pain….it's just not been easy. And trying to keep life moving with any amount of normalcy has been a challenge. I am not going to...
