Great show!
Miss Jordan was part of another fantastic dance recital this year. We got to the stage early so my friend (who happens to be Jordan’s teacher) could help me do Jordan’s hair. I’m just not good at this… and Cyndi has years of experience as a dance teacher and a mom. So I did the…
Read More +Video: Here comes the recital
Tonight’s the big night… and like many dance studios, we aren’t allowed to take pictures or shoot video during the actual performance. Unlike me, I forgot my good camera at work so I only had my iPhone to capture last night’s recital rehearsal. I’m totally off my game. Actually, maybe I’m calming down. I rushed…
Read More +A day in the life of Jordan
When Jordan was born, one of the first things I worried about was her self confidence. It was a nervous concern that nagged at me a lot when she was a newborn. As she grew, it was quite obvious that Jordan is naturally confident and very focused on doing things on her own. She demanded…

Special needs parents learn as we go. The little lessons and the big lessons are often learned on a personal level. Sometimes if you have a friend in a similar situation you can share what you’ve learned so they don’t make the same mistakes. Then there are opportunities like this site and others where you…

It’s Friday! Many of my students graduate today and I haven’t had much of a chance to think or be thoughtful. So I thought I’d just share a sweet video I recorded with Jordan singing one of her favorite songs about love that she learned at school. It’s super sweet. I hope everyone has a…

Since this blog started almost six years ago, there are so many topics discussed and buried. That’s why I thought it would be worthwhile bringing up Early Intervention again. I had a conversation on the Born Just Right Facebook page with a mom who wondered if limb different kids qualify for any long-term insurance assistance.…

I was showing a friend how to use a cool tool called Storify that lets you collect conversations across platforms and share it all in one space. Here are some of the comments I collected from Twitter and a few links about how the conversation came about. (Sorry for the nerdiness… but I figured I’d…

For as long…
Read More +The T-Ball Experience
When I signed Jordan up for t-ball, I thought she’d like it… but just a little. She’s had to attend so many games for her brother, it just seemed right for her to have a chance to play herself. So I signed her up. She wasn’t that impressed during practice but ever since her first…

I’m nine years into this mom thing… And I still can’t say I’m a pro at this, but I am honored to be the mom of these two kids. This past week has been an example of just how crazy I allow my world to get because I’m a mom. Jordan and Cameron had baseball…
