Did you know that leaving your shoes at the doorway can decrease the number of bacteria and viruses that your children are exposed to at home? Take ‘em off and let those tootsies breathe when you get home 👍🏻😍

On the daily, I am grateful for all that Purely Pediatrics has allowed me to experience.

Time with families is my meditation.

The laughter, tears, growth, and peace have been my biggest blessings.

Helping parents to find their way through the challenges of raising their amazing little humans has been priceless.

I am convinced I have the most incredible co-workers on this planet that have become my best friends.

This past month marks the 9th year that we have been in business.

I wouldn’t trade this all for anything.

Thank you to the many who have been a part of Purely Pediatrics, whether as membership families, followers of our page, those who walk by and greet the little ones that are looking out the window of our front door, or by supporting another parent that is struggling.

Our tiny corner in Lewiston across from is my favorite place to be.

I have never seen a salt marsh before,
and didn’t realize that the sunset over the marsh may be just as beautiful as the sunset over the ocean.

Our week in Amelia Island was chilly and rainy for a few days initially, and I was so sad for myself and my family.

The wind and the ocean waves were forces to be reckoned with.

What was intended to be a beach vacation became a Yahtzee-filled, hot tub, early bird dinner excursion surrounded by the beauty of Spanish moss trees and lush greenery.

We experienced amazing seafood, wonderful wait staff, and the amazing floral smell after the rain.

We visited the shops of Historic Fernandina Beach in the rain. 🌧️

I was able to witness the resiliency of my family as our vacation became much different than any vacation before it.

Sometimes, our expectations can set us up for disappointment if we forget about the importance of flexibility and flowing with the circumstances rather than against them.

Our very last day on Amelia Island was beautifully sunny and warm.

Every single one of us was grateful for that gift.

I suspect if the entire week was sunny and beautiful, we may have taken that last day for granted.

Instead, we enjoyed every single moment together.

Those clouds finally parted to give us a first and last sunset of our vacation.

What an incredible finale that was. ❤️

I very much underestimated the ability of my family to find joy in anything other than the beach.

The joke was on me!

Yet, another lesson learned. 💗

Thank you, Amelia Island, for providing us with quality family time in an absolutely beautiful area of Florida.

Spanish moss trees, salt marshes, bubbles the golf cart, a home within Amelia Island Plantation, and incredible seafood were truly magical.

As we get ready to return to home and ‘normal’ life soon, these memories will hold me over until our next adventure. 💗

Family means everything.

We also have little ones with autism in our practice and are constantly amazed with their creativity, unique perspectives, and strength.

They remind me about the importance of supporting another and finding the beauty in all of our unique qualities.

They remind me about the importance of meeting another right where they are.

Their parents remind me about the importance of acceptance while striving to provide a myriad of opportunities that will support growth, development, and achievement.

Oh, how very much I have learned from each one them💗. I am so grateful.

Big announcement!

Dr. Sue left this T shirt on her desk this morning and left us to become a pediatrician bird watcher!

She had her vehicle packed with bird seed and binoculars, and took off down the street with her bird book in hand!

We are hoping this is a short lived adventure, but we always joked with her that she will make a great bird lady.

We didn’t think it would happen quite this soon! 🐦‍⬛🪺…………………………………………………………….Happy April Fools Day! Dr. Sue may love birds, but she will never fly away from this ‘coop’ 💗

My beautiful nieces…

Children remind us to say what we want, find beauty in what is right in front of us, and to unapologetically be ourselves.

Such important lessons come from these amazing little people of ours.

I am blessed to have your little ones as part of my everyday. 💗

Coughs can become lengthy in little ones, causing parental distress.

Viral coughs are the most common reason for persistent coughs in children.

This is an excellent video detailing causes for persistent coughs and some red flags to watch for.
