At this point, I’ve found that:
I’ve turned a page in my life. I no longer feel “hysterical” about my life. Maybe it’s because we have Alex on more appropriate medications than the ones that were masking the issues; in turn making the severe behavioral issues we had been experiencing, and had increased, [...]

Towards the end of summer in sunny Colorado, my entire family wanted to get one last outdoor swim in. My husband and I swam and played with the kids in the large pool, enjoying a game of keep away.

Today’s post is a little different than usual; it’s a compilation of reading I wanted to pass along to you.

I dumped my purse. I pulled a juvenile move and turned the thing, the monstrosity of a purse, smaller than I need, larger than I want, but still fashionable – upside down. Curiosity got a hold of me.
This wasn’t supposed to be the topic of a Monday morning, but it is interesting what we stuff [...]
