A happy pill a day keeps the crazy momma away. Literally. Not even kidding. I'll admit, I have been on and off anxiety/anti-depressant meds for most of my adult life. I have, on more than one occasion, found myself overwhelmed, sad, or anxious. I know that I am a worrier and a stresser. I was [...]
A few weeks ago I started our "Beyond The Highlight Reel" series. I started off with a basic overview of some terms, therapies, and diagnosis I would be discussing in later blog posts....One of those terms is RAD. RAD or Reactive Attachment Disorder, was one of the first diagnosis we got for Q. With a [...]
A few weeks ago I mentioned QMonster being in the hospital. Not going to lie, it was rough...flat out rough...and honestly, I am still feeling the effects of the stay as are Q and JHub. However, I am not going to be sad, negative, or a Debbie Downer today...nope! Today is a great day for a [...]
Alright...here goes nothing...its now or never for me. I have had an internal struggle with whether or not I should share this. One side of me thinks I should keep this to myself, avoid the questions, avoid the stares, avoid giving people something to talk about, avoid the shame & embarrassment. The other side of [...]

When I found myself knee deep in the Special Needs world, I quickly realized I am QMonster's biggest advocate. I am the one that will have to fight the hard fights, ask the tough questions, and dig the deepest to find the answers. I spend hours on the internet searching through blog posts, Facebook support [...]
You guys! It is time to get real. I mean REALLY REAL. I want to be really freaking honest with you. I want to let you in on some secrets in my life. I want to go beyond the highlight reels you see on my Book, Gram, & Snap feeds. I am going to start [...]
9/3/14--The day the stars aligned and prayers were answered. The day I finally experienced love at first sight. The day that would forever change the trajectory of my life. The day that was, and still is, so full of emotion. The day that I'll never forget. The day I became a mom. The day I [...]
I originally posted this on my old family blog and it showed up on my FB "On This Day" and I thought it was worth re-publishing. This is a glimpse into the adoption world. This cycle of "Show and No" would continue for a few more months for us. We actually heard "No" 7 times. [...]
When J and I first got married, I started a blog called SportsAndStationery...It was a fun little blog but it was cheap... It served its purpose until I moved over here to HMMC! In honor of Mother's Day, I thought I would share my first Mother's Day post originally posted on our S&S blog. My [...]
