An Inspirational Award
I haven’t written much about this… But Jordan was nominated for a very special award in our city. It’s the WIN (Women’s Intersport Network) for Columbia Inspiration Award. I hesitated about making a big deal because we were told she was nominated but we wouldn’t know if she won until we attended the event. Three…

There’s a really great high school project underway that needs your help so it can get funding and continue to grow. It’s called the So What Campaign. I encouraged the organizers to write a little more to explain what they’re trying to do and how you can help: I am Karlee and I was born…

Jordan is fearless. She is a rock star on roller coasters. She loves to perform. She will figure out bike riding this year, I’m sure of it. Did I mention she loves performing?

I feel it’s super important to share where my brain is right now… I think it’s in hyper-sensitive mode but it’s an important sensitivity. I am a special needs advocate from the perspective of a parent. I can’t offer perspective from a person with special needs. So I think it’s incredibly important to listen and…
Read More +A simple tweet helps Camp No Limits
It isn’t every day when something as simple as a tweet can earn money for a great cause. I’m in Las Vegas through tomorrow as part of the New Media Expo event. It’s a conference for bloggers and full of really smart and amazing people. During the event, there’s a really cool campaign called 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…

Jordan had the most magical birthday ever. Thanks to you, her birthday fundraiser will help make sure SEVEN kids have full funding to attend Camp No Limits in 2013.

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.
