Hi All! I had the honor of writing about one of my favorite nonprofits MaxMods, in a local publication. Here are the great things they are doing to bring the Holidays to everyone 🙂 You can donate at http://www.santaslittlehackers.com

As I have been called upon to deliver the Phews to multiple events, my character has come into question. Apparently, I drive too fast. I’ll take this. I’ll hand it back with the fact that everyone else drives too slow. Not you. You, dear reader are a great driver. But yes, everyone else drives way…

My family huddles well. Sadly, I believe it’s because of years of practice, but we do this well. We lean in, call in reinforcements (thank you!) and try, as best we can, to help each other out. It is here that I am always reminded of what family is- it is here that I find…

Mitochondrial Awareness Week is coming to a close and I am late in posting. This is not to say this week, and this disease has not been on my mind. Like many times before, this stupid disease sits in the corner of my life, farting and belching, creating a stink, and reminding……. I have often…

May…

Yesterday was Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day and I have complicated relationship. I love Moms. I love my Mom, I love my friends who are Moms, I love the people who have Mothered me along this road of life. This tribe of women has influenced me, held me on high, approached me with truths at times…

I’m a tad late to the party but I could not let today pass without wishing you all a Happy Rare Disease Day! A rare disease is a condition that impacts less than 1 and 2,000 of us. Did you know that between 3.5-5.9% of us have a confirmed, diagnosed, rare disease? We are 1…

I’ve been writing for a local publication- this young family was fantastic, so fantastic I thought I would share 🙂 “It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves,” Sir Edmund Hilary. It’s not easy to keep up with the Jones’s. In August, Tanner and Tyler Jane Jones will have been married for seven years.…
