Get ready Kindergarten… Here we come!

We’re ready… Or at least we’re in the mindset to get this Kindergarten experience rolling. We took Jordan to her Kindergarten welcome last night. She had a chance to play on the playground, see old and new friends, eat ice cream and meet her new teacher. I had a chance to email her teacher a…

We all have #moreincommon

I’ve wanted to take some time to talk about the wonderful experience I had during the BlogHer conference. A little more than a week ago, a group of people gathered for three hours to talk about the special needs community and how we’re managing with the help of the incredibly connected world we live in.…

I love the Born Just Right community. As it grows, I see so many people supporting each other and offering knowledge of the special needs world – especially the limb difference world. I want to hug each and every one of you. Since I can’t do that… I thought I’d offer the first ever Born…
