She was a hope. A dream. A wish. A thought. An idea. A silent prayer that I had tucked away in the deepest part of my heart. And then in an instant, she was a tiny little fuzzy image on…

I will teach my baby to love your baby. To not judge people for what they look like, the color of their skin, their physical abilities, or what job they have. To treat people based off how they act, what…

I’ve been told sometimes I need to remember that our family is not the “center of the universe”. This normally is in regards to discussions about support, adaptation, and our explanations of why we do things a certain way with…

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
