Top 5 reasons why Camp No Limits changed Jordan's life
I’m not exaggerating when I say Camp No Limits changed Jordan’s life. She was only three and a half when we attended camp for the first time. Cameron and I came along and almost instantly, my hard-headed girl was learning how to put her hard-headedness into good use. She learned the importance of being strong…

Game on! Jordan’s softball season kicked off last night and she was very excited. She has the new baseball shoes, the cool pair of shorts, new hat, shirt and a batting glove. Even better? She is focused to do her very best. Her team launched into their first year of machine pitch softball and it…

Parenting is a non-stop roller coaster. Parenting two kids is like running between two rides and trying to keep up with the highs and lows of both at the same time. Luckily, my kids seem to trade off challenges. (You know, the stuff we have to remind ourself is a “phase.”) That way, I don’t lose…

Jordan brought home a school project that took me a bit by surprise. It was an all about me display in the shape of a hot air balloon. She had a chance to draw herself (and she chose a version of herself running) and the family. Then she had a chance to write about herself.…

Jordan did it! She owned her zombie costume and had so much fun. Her only regret was we didn’t have enough time to put on MORE fake blood. It took me an hour to build Jordan’s face into a scary zombie. We used a combination of liquid latex and gory tattoos for her face and long…

For years, Jordan has talked about wanting a doll that has a little arm just like her. It started as a topic of discussion when she was four-years-old and realized her American Girl doll didn’t look like her. The realization made Jordan sad. I even reached out to American Girl and the company will not make…

It’s that time of the year when all of Jordan and Cameron’s activities collide. Jordan has dance, physical therapy, piano, softball and all kinds of birthday parties scattered throughout this month. Each activity has a reason: Dance is something Jordan loves and it helps her work on her core strength, physical therapy is another important…
Read More +An Interesting Discovery During Therapy
Jordan’s occupational therapist and I discovered something a few weeks ago during a session. We had added yoga poses into her life and when we introduced a simple toe-touching stretch. Jordan complained it was really hard. I figured she was pretending. Toe touching for me is so easy. How can it be difficult for an…
