  • This sweet boy started a new chapter yesterday! His very first day of “kindergarten” at a new ABA center. 🙌🏻 We had a few options for Sam for kinder, and as much as I will advocate for inclusion (being in a classroom with “typical” kids and an aid to support him) until I’m blue in the face, this next year we are taking a different approach. We’ve decided to start him in an intensive ABA program run like a school, where he will still get the structure he’s used to in the classroom- circle time, recess, activities and lots of peer interaction! It’s all kids on the spectrum, but various levels, so he will learn from others, and others will learn from him. ❤️ This was a decision made with a lot of prayer, and I feel really good that it’s the right one, for him and for us right now. I am so hopeful that he will grow immensely this year- I just have a really really good feeling. 💕 And he is so smart and brave- he’s going to move mountains this year, I can feel it! 👊🏻 Here’s to a new beginning and immense growth. ✨ #gosamgo

  • He just fell asleep like this. Guess he was tired. 😂😍 Oh to be a baby. #oliverdidwhat #2monthsold
  • Currently watching The Bachelorette and secretly hoping she doesn’t choose Peter so he can be the next Bachelor. 🙊 Who do you want her to choose? I’m torn!! I’m thinking Tyler... 🤷🏻‍♀️ As long as it’s not Peter, I’m happy. 😂 On another note, these super cute rose gold/pink Nikes are still fully stocked and on major sale! And ANYONE can buy them! They’re at Nordstrom but not just in the #nsale! 🙌🏻🎉 They are the flyknit style and are super comfortable! Size up 1/2.

  • Bringing me back to those first few weeks, where this is all we did. 🥰 Snuggling in bed, soaking each other up, nursing until he fell asleep and just staring and resting and loving. Our life is crazy right now- so much happening, and no stopping any time soon!- so this afternoon, when I got to just “be” with my baby, right here, just like this, I took advantage of it. I stayed a little longer. And I think it’s exactly what we both needed. ✨ #postpartum

I wrote this on the car ride home from my mother-in-law’s birthday dinner on Saturday night. The whole day was just really tough with Sam. He was irritable, his frustration was high, he had random outbursts of anger and sadness- all things that come with the territory of “Autism” but that we haven’t seen in…

MY BOY

Deep breath. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever shared here, but I know this will help someone feel not alone- even just one person, as I have so often felt. Sharing, being open and vulnerable, it’s what makes us human, it’s what brings us together. It’s what makes these things a little less scary….
