Flashback Friday: Camp from the Past and Future
I’ve talked on and on about Camp No Limits and today is not the last time it will come up on the blog. Jordan raised an awesome amount of money for camp and little donations continue to come in. (We are so honored.) Thanks to so many of you and your donations, we have the…
Read More +Holding back because of the blog
This past week was a whirlwind of activity for the kids. We drove to Kentucky, Florida and North Carolina to spend time with family and in the middle of it all, we spent four days on the Disney property and snuck in a visit to Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure. It was an intense amount of…
Read More +Happy Holidays from the Reeves
We’re celebrating Christmas with my parents this holiday season. The kids are so excited… So much so that I caught Jordan working a little too hard investigating who gets what gift this morning. We’ve enjoyed the wonderful weather and Jordan went swimming two days in a row. You can’t do that in the Midwest during…
Read More +Flashback Friday: New Arm and Push-Ups
It’s hard to believe it’s been almost a year since Jordan had her most recent helper arm. She’s used it more than any of her preview arms… She loves the flexibility of a lockable elbow. She’s enjoying her pushup hand as well. So… in honor of Flashback Friday, here’s a look back to when she…

Four years ago, we bought Jordan’s first American Girl doll. It was a Bitty Baby and I even let her pick out an outfit that matched her baby. She loved it SO much. But the very first time she put on the outfit that matched, she told me she wished she had two hands like…

We’re wrapping up a long weekend with family… and I have to say how very blessed and thankful to have the love and support of our family. Not only did I have a chance to take a big nap or two and work on some family holiday stuff on my computer, the kids and the…

Jordan’s dad is a huge Bruce Springsteen fan. His first show was in 1984… Since then, he’s seen The Boss 40+ times. It only seems fitting for our kids to experience a Springsteen show during their youth. Cameron’s first show was when he was six years old… So we decided to let six-year-old Jordan and…
Read More +Celebrate Jordan's Birthday in Honor of Camp No Limits
We’re getting so close to celebrating Jordan’s SEVENTH birthday. I don’t know about you, but I adore birthdays and both of my kids have inherited the joy of birthday celebrations. For Jordan, her birthday has a new meaning since last year. We held a birthday fundraiser for Camp No Limits in 2011 and the fundraising…
Read More +Who is this Big Kid?
I jumped into a new job and thanks to Superstorm Sandy, I ended up in Washington, DC an extra five days thanks to delays caused by the storm. That left me away from the family for nine days. It was a super long time to be away. Any amount of distance can leave me mystified…
Read More +Sharing inspiration in the news
I’m making a big transition this week… After Friday, I’m leaving 17 years of working television newsrooms to work for the national AARP organization. I’m becoming the organization’s social media trainer and I’m thrilled for the opportunity. It also means some changes here at Born Just Right. I promise to get a t-shirt shop going……
