Post-sickness

I don’t know what I picked up but I picked up something, somewhere. I was starting to cough on Christmas Eve, I didn’t think much of it, just a cough. I’ve been coughing for 4 solid months with one thing or another. This one however, progressed until it was a really wet and deep cough. […]
I’m not ok.

Everyone hits a moment in life where they are just not ok. It could be for whatever reason, whatever situation, or whatever circumstance. This week has been extremely challenging and my world has started to turn over and do flips. There are heavy things happening in the background, not of which I want to share. […]
Food aversion therapy today

Zahkya has her first occupational therapy appointment today for her food aversion problem. She still won’t try new foods and she still has major sensory issues with her mouth. I have to take foods that she will eat and also take foods that I want her to eat. I don’t have very many of those […]
tWitch dead at 40

This makes me so sad. I just saw this headline come across my iWatch. I couldn’t believe it. I watched him make headlines on So you think you can dance and go on to be the DJ on Ellen. He was always so full of energy and he had the kindest smile. He died by […]

Mom life is a hard life

I woke up yesterday with a lot of sinus pressure and a nagging throbbing in my right temple. That’s where all my headaches are, the same place every time. To compound that, I had a really stiff neck too. I knew I had a giant day ahead of me so I tried to ignore the […]
Zahkya turned 5

My little girl is growing up so fast. She’s such a character and I love her unique personality. Time is a thief, I want her to be my little girl forever.
Health Updates

There are so many health updates going on with my kiddos. Tristyn’s chronic cough still hasn’t gone away. They have thrown 4 rounds of antibiotics, 4 rounds of steroids, and a month of asthma meds at him with no change. His doctor referred him to Children’s Hospital in Denver for further evaluation. Zahkya had a […]
Tristyn turned 7

The boy that made me a Momma just turned 7 on November 27th. I am so extremely proud of this kid. He’s everything I wish I could have been.
