Every time I sit down to try and write this post, I am short on words. I think I feel a little overwhelmed as usual, so I just don’t know where to begin. And today of all days, I am riddled with anxiety. But I need to avoid online shopping. So I’m going to do…
How many times can I play this game of catching up on the blog? As of late, I feel little urges to get back to writing. But it seems that every time I sit down and try to put my thoughts into words or my fingers to the familiar click-clack of the keyboard, my brain…
While I’m glad it’s over, there’s no mistaking that when I look back on our summer as a whole, there were some good times. And I have to pat myself on the back a little bit! Because I made that happen. It’s not easy. Most days I would’ve rather hid in my air-conditioned room watching…
You know if I’m dusting off the blog, it’s time for a pretty major update. But it’s major in a way that’s not really major at all. It doesn’t change anything in our day to day lives, but we have been seeking answers to Stevie’s health mysteries for quite some time. In that sense, an…
I’m someone who has always enjoyed going to the movies, because… IDK American? The sights, the smells, the sounds, I love it all.

Well it’s been a hot minute since I’ve updated you all on Stevie’s life — and all the medical stuff that goes along with that. This post is about 8 months in the making, and details are starting to get muddled for me. But I’m fresh off the latest doctor appointment with his neurologist, so…
This morning, I was venting to Paul about how difficult Stevie has been the last little while. He scoffed and said “You mean the last 6 and 1/2 years??” And of course we do have to have a sense of humor about it. It is laughable to try and pinpoint when difficult phases begin and…
Over the last year, words have not come easily for me when I think about Stevie. I sit with my hands on the keyboard, ready to unleash some truth on y’all and instead, I run into a full mental block. I want to tell you about his successes. And I want to tell you about…
I got on a roll editing this week! Go me! Often times I use my big camera with big plans and big intentions to put together the cutest videos, but it’s a really easy thing to put aside for later. And later. And later. So they rarely never happen. And while one of my summer…
