The Best Brother in the Shadows
Jordan has so much support. I have found articles in South Africa, France, England, India and even Serbia sharing her Project Unicorn story and how Born Just Right is launching a nonprofit so more kids have a chance to learn inclusive design. What you may not know is one of Jordan’s biggest supporters is her…
Read More +Raising awareness about limb differences
Jordan’s brother, Cameron, is super involved in our work with Camp No Limits. This past year was the first time he didn’t get a chance to attend the summer camp in Missouri. It looks like he’s going to miss the 2015 camp for an amazing trip to Yellowstone National Park. But that hasn’t stopped his…
Read More +Rejoice and Sorrow
Jordan breaks into spurts of sadness when it hits her that her grandma isn’t with us anymore. The realization hits me each time I work online and stumble into a link she liked or a comment she left. I wish I had emailed her more, asked her to write more things. I wish I had…
Read More +Love is in the air
Love is in the air at our household. In between the time when the kids are bickering at each other, I feel like we’re in a very special time where both kids are sweet and cuddly and are so loving. There’s something about the range between six years old and almost ten years old that…

I have a thing for taking the kids to see Santa… It’s cute and I’m running out of years where this tradition is exciting. Cameron has figured it all out… But he and I have made a pact to keep it away from Jordan for at least this year. So when we took pictures with…
Read More +Happy Halloween Disney style
I’m the room parent in both kids’ Halloween parties today… So I thought I’d share a Halloween story before I go to bed and rest up for our spooky day. I wanted to share a few more stories about the awesome Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party we attended last week. The fun started the…
Read More +What an adventure
We’re trying to catch up on life after an awesome adventure to Disney World and the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. I have so many stories to tell… But first, I’ll try to summarize our adventure. The trip started differently than normal for us… We rode on a plane to Florida! We’re drivers for almost all of…
Read More +Simplicity
Running through the gardens. Discovering the pool was just too cold. Racing around a backyard too fast with Cameron pulling Jordan in a wagon. Cameron being sweet to the younger kids during Monday night’s potluck. Jordan reaching over and rubbing my wrinkled up forehead saying: “Get the grumpy off your face Mommy!” Little moments that…
Read More +Now you see it. Now you don't.
It hit me as I drove to work. My two kids are so very different and their challenges in life are in many ways very opposite. And the fiery sibling rivalry that roars between them is possibly fed thanks to their individual challenges. After spending a lot of wonderful time with the special needs community…
Read More +Learning about others
In my quest to take more time to think about all kinds of ways I can help the kids learn about diversity, I made a point of taking the kids to a couple of events in town this past week. Last Friday, Cameron’s (and soon to be Jordan’s) school held an International Day. Each year…
