VIDEO: Building a new arm for Jordan
Why do you use prosthetics? That was a question that was asked to me so many times during this past weekend’s Born Just Right meet up. We do it so Jordan has the opportunity to build equal muscle strength and learn how different tools work with the help of prosthetics. She has a new bike…

I did it! For the fourth time ever, I ran in a half marathon and I survived. It wasn’t my fastest race. It wasn’t my slowest race. So I think I should be proud of that. You know what I’m also proud of? The wonderful people who pitched in to donate to Camp No Limits…

We’ve had a very pirate-filled two days. First, we attended the first day of Windjammer Days in Boothbay Harbor, Maine to watch some pirate fighting and have a chance to learn more about pirates. The kids got to learn some sword skills and discover stories about tooth worms and vaporing. By the way, tooth worms…
Read More +Little vacation discoveries
We are in vacation mode… We drove 24 hours in two days, picked up a kayak along the way and have consumed many lobster. It’s an excellent start for an extended stay in Maine. The fun part about vacation is you don’t have as many things on the schedule and you can just try out…
