Video: Dancing up a storm once again

It was the big dress rehearsal for Jordan’s dance class. She LOVES the chance to get all dolled up and the dress rehearsal was a chance for me to practice putting her hair in a bun. I’ve never done it before… and after I got tips from much more experienced bun-makers (which happens to be [...]

Jordan really likes being on TV pitching Camp No Limits

Jordan and I had a chance to encourage other limb different families to attend Camp No Limits, reach out and find other families and maybe play golf to raise money for our favorite camp. The moment we were done with the segment (and Jordan pitched to break), Jordan asked me when she could go on [...

Checking over the 504 Plan

I had a quick meeting with my school case manager who is helping oversee Jordan’s 504 Plan. We went through what was set up at the start of the school year and had a chance to talk to Jordan’s Kindergarten teacher about what works and if there are any needed additions. What I learned during [...]

Mother’s Day with #family

This was one of the craziest Mother’s Day weekends since my first Mother’s Day in 2002. That’s right… It’s so strange to think I’ve been a part of this mom world for ten years. Mother’s Day weekend 10 years ago seemed just as crazy. I graduated from grad school the day before Mother’s Day… Cameron [

VIDEO: Play ball!

Jordan is officially a softball player and she loves it. She’s played three games in the last week and a half and is enjoying every moment. She’s working really hard at catching the ball with her glove and then throwing it. Sometimes she moves the glove under her arm to throw, other times she throws

Feeling proud about a limb difference

I am halfway through Jim Abbott’s new book, Imperfect; An Improbable Life. After each chapter recounts a part of his childhood, I’m taken aback by how uncomfortable he’s been throughout his life about his limb difference. Times are a little better when it comes to limb differences. Culturally, our s

Challenging Day

I sent Jordan to school with a collection of her favorite pictures of her Grandma. It’s Grandparents Day at her school. They hold this big event every year and it’s always a big deal to my kids. This would have been Jordan’s first year celebrating it. She’s been jealous of the event the last four [.

Nick Maxim continues to spread good will

I was traveling most of yesterday when friends started sending me links to a sweet little six-year-old who was born without her hands who won a writing contest. I just knew it had to do with Nick Maxim. You may remember me talking about him last year when he won a hand writing contest and [...]

VIDEO: Getting a peek into the recital

Each year there’s a process as we get closer to Jordan’s big dance recital. There’s the fall when the class gets to know each other and learns a holiday dance to perform on a small stage. Then the spring is focused on the big recital in May. Jordan’s class this year knows their dance pretty [...]
