Losing a Grandma
The world lost one of the best grandmas today. Jordan’s Grandma Jone lost a brief but valiant fight against cancer. One dose of chemo not only destroyed the bad stuff, it destroyed all of her good stuff. Cancer sucks so much. We lucked out in the Grandma department for tons of reasons. The biggest reason…
Read More +Sticking my neck out – What is the proper balance?
I love blogging. I love being able to write stories of my world and learn from others. I also think it’s challenging to be in the blog world with a positive focus and a desire to spread the word about advocacy and support… It’s tricky to balance it all by making sure I don’t come…

I knew Born Just Right’s Facebook community was special… But I had no idea how special until I found out late last night at it is nominated for a really cool award.

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…
Read More +Before SXSW, I need your help (If the tech world could help special needs)
I’m on a quest. It’s been a long standing quest to use technology and help the special needs world. My relationship with the tech world started long before Jordan was born. But thanks to my comfort inside this space and the growing ways to communicate with you, it helped me build Born Just Right. In…
Read More +Broken is actually good
It’s hard to celebrate a broken helper arm… but having it break is a sign that Jordan is using her arm a lot more at school. Yesterday she was playing on the playground when she fell down and broke her helper. I got a call from the office asking if I knew how to fix…
Read More +Share the love
I share a lot about our family… so I wanted to share this. Jordan’s Grandma isn’t feeling very good… So she needs prayers and love in whatever form you can think of. We love her very much and hope she feels better very soon.
