Books That Carried Me Through Hard Times

August 18, 2022

Reading has played an invaluable role in my healing since navigating the loss of our 3 year old daughter, Stevie. I was able to retreat from the world that overwhelmed me into pages and pages filled by those who had found just the words to capture the jumbled feelings of my heart.

Loving Big

August 10, 2022

  Stevie's arrival into our family seemed to also birth a softness and selflessness in both the boys. For the first time in their young lives, I watched Wes and Sawyer fill with the overwhelming need to put her happiness and comfort before their own.

May 30, 2018

Parenting, for Ben and me, has been experienced in phases—peaks and valleys... I look back on this photo of the boys and me, taken several years ago, and I’m reminded of the deep deep trench we were in at this time.  You wouldn’t know that from looking at this photo.  Pictures capture a moment in someone’s life, often con[...]

Being the Little Brother of a Boy With Autism

September 27, 2016

  *Names have been changed to honor privacy. Miss B: You realize that he is an amazing kid, right? Me: Aww, thank you so much! I ruffle Sawyer’s sweaty hair and smile back at his preschool teacher.
