I always wonder if we made the right decision. Ten years ago we were faced with an impossible choice. Put our baby girl through multiple grueling surgeries in an attempt to fashion a viable leg for her…… Or do an…
Sharing some fun facts about prosthetics legs!! 1. There is no such thing as one size fits all. Each prosthetic is custom made for the individual. Callie can definitely wear hand me downs–in clothes, but not prosthetics! Prosthetics are custom…

Hi Y'all! I’m Jaime, a proud working mama, author, girl boss and wifey to an ultra-adorable husband. I am a huge book nerd, I drink coffee like my life depends on it, and run on dry shampoo and Amazon Prime. Leopard print is my favorite color. I am a story teller at heart and this blog is a virtual scrapbook of our crazy beautiful life. I'm a Type One Diabetic and our little warrior princess Callie is a lower limb amputee. By sharing how we’ve chosen to flourish in the garden we’ve been planted in, we hope you can take some small nuggets of hope, inspiration, and laughter. We are so grateful that you’ve found us—welcome to the fam. We embrace our perfectly imperfect lives and don’t let the doctor’s appointments, spreadsheets, speaking engagements, 10th birthday parties to plan, housework or date nights overwhelm us. Those things are just the beautiful reminders of all the blessings in our lives. Read More
