Life can be hard….. But it also can be beautiful. You can have days where wallow in grief. Drowning trying to keep your head above water. Dreading each morning that you have to wake up and face another day. But…
I see you baby girl. I see you taking that first brave step. I see you glancing quickly to watch people’s faces when they look at your prosthetic leg. I see you evaluating whether they are going to meet your…

Special needs mamas are warriors. We are thrown into a club that we didn’t necessarily ask to be a part of–and through grace and grit we find our footing in the world. Words like OT/PT, MRI, speech pathologist, orthotics, complex,…

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
