Some weeks are just…this.

Treadmill toddler basketball (next-level cardio + coordination), Dad finishing his bourbon room like HGTV: Dad Edition, tiny tumbles at gymnastics, kindergartener on ice, and a mid-week toddler drop-off at dad’s work so Mom could make a special luncheon (thanks to his awesome staff!). And this is only the surface.

The boys? Pure boy energy.
 6 a.m. reasoning with a 6-year-old that we cannot build a shelf before school… but yes, we can sketch it. Mom = cat, life = very fast mouse.

That fresh hair moment? +4 confidence, +10 sanity. Thanks

Wild, chaotic, sweet, exhausting… and full of little sprinkles of joy. ✨

Behind the scenes is not always pretty…but it’s real.
Find your joy in the chaos. 💛

Freedom runs through generations because of the brave.

Honoring our P*e Paw (among several other family members) and all who served.

Thank you will never be enough. 🇺🇸

A 16-year-old patient—who’s faced more since age one than most do in a lifetime—stumbled over his words today and said,

“You look so pretty.”

He had no idea what this 44-year-old mom had been feeling in the days leading up to that moment.

No idea how much those four little words would light up my heart.

It’s the little things kids say—their unfiltered honesty, their unexpected wisdom—that can spark enough joy to keep the fire burning.

Whether I’m in the clinic or behind the scenes connecting subscribers to resources… this one small sentence reminded me exactly why I show up.

One small human. One space at a time. (Including my own little guys.)

✨ Sprinkles of joy are everywhere…you just have to pause and look up 👀

She beat the odds. Now she’s building bridges of belonging. 💛

At just 13 months old, my brain was swollen, I was in a coma. My parents clung to their faith, praying I would wake up.

Doctors gave me a 20% chance, but that was more than enough with God who had other plans. After surviving meningitis, the journey was far from over.

Resilience begins small. Endurance begins early.

Long before Kindergarten, I was learning how to exist in a world that didn’t yet understand me. In preschool, I was navigating countless tests, screenings, and early behavioral challenges.

A trip to Memphis confirmed profound-severe hearing loss. That diagnosis shifted everything. But what came next would define more than just my story.

I became the first hearing impaired student in my county-wide school district to attend public school—before the ADA and Section 504. My parents fought for my right to be mainstreamed.

[📸 # 6 with my first grade teacher who wore the first microphone while I wore a receiver so I could keep up with the lessons and hear EVERYthing from the potty breaks to kids going to the office…and also she shared with my parents, “the students put hearing aids on their Christmas wishlist”].

It takes a village. Advocates shape the future.

My parents weren’t the only champions. Teachers, mentors, friends and my community rallied around me. They showed me what inclusion could look like long before the law required it.

Now, at 44, I use that experience to elevate spaces with joy, advocate for inclusive living and travel, and help families navigate life with ease and confidence.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) signed on July 26, 1990 paved the way for so many of us in our country. But the work isn’t over.

Let’s keep expanding what access looks like. Let’s widen the doors—and the possibilities—for everyone.

The change you want in your city?

Safe pathways for seniors, kids walking to school, moms walking with strollers, residents rolling on wheels, and active runners logging some miles.

It starts with your voice. Your steps. Your presence.

Inclusive communities start with you.

It takes a village to drive change.

Let’s get to work. 💛

📸 The Good News for this Sidewalk here!
After attending a city meeting, I learned this exact stretch is the next phase of the sidewalk project—connecting homes, schools, and businesses.

➡️ 6 feet wide.

That’s inclusion—not just ADA compliance. 🙌

PRO TIP: City budgets may be tight-but change doesn’t have to wait. Seek out local, state, and federal grants to fund inclusive infrastructure. Your advocacy can unlock real dollars for real progress.

“Freedom is not free.”

These powerful words—engraved at the Korean War Veterans Memorial in D.C.—were often echoed by my grandpa, a WWII and Korean War veteran, pastor, musician, and the original firestarter of our family 🇺🇸🎺

He carried their meaning with him every day.

We honored it—with chaos, joy, and a diapered sparkler salute.

Here’s to the brave who paid the price, the little wild ones keeping the spirit alive (and the music loud), and to everyone continuing to fight for their version of independence—including those with disabilities who redefine freedom in powerful ways.

Wishing everyone a safe and joyful holiday weekend.

Today we pause to honor the brave souls who sacrificed for our freedom. As my husband and his mom reflect on his grandfather’s medals—Purple Heart, Bronze Star, and more—I’m reminded of my own grandfather’s stories and the words he often shared: “Freedom is not free.”

Their service, their sacrifice, their stories will never be forgotten 🇺🇸

With deep gratitude to all who serve and have served. ❤️💙

You can take the girl outta Kentucky, but you can’t take Kentucky outta the girl. 💙🌹

There’s something about our horses, the sunset, the wide open spaces that brings me right back home—because home will always be Kentucky.

From the hills to the horses, the lakes to the limestone, the caves to the bourbon—there’s no place quite like it.

Today, we celebrate the fastest two minutes in sports and a lifetime of pride.

Happy Derby Day, from this forever Kentuckian at heart.

Oaks Day magic in the front row — where fillies race, lilies flow, and memories are made with every step.

This tradition is more than just a day at the track. It’s southern charm in full bloom. While it’s been a few years since we’ve had a front-row seat to the Kentucky Oaks, we’ll forever cherish the unforgettable moments shared with friends, family, and loved ones no longer by our side.

Each detail of the day holds a piece of history: slipping on my great-grandmother’s gloves, finishing the look with my grandmother’s fascinator, and carrying the grace, style, and legacy of generations before me.

From shaking and serving the very first Oaks Lily cocktails with my sister (before they were the drink of the day) to sipping them in the stands beside my grandfather and father-in-law — these are the memories wrapped in pink, steeped in joy, and touched by loss.

Here’s to the fillies, the fighters, the fashion, and the memories made on Oaks day.

Happy Oaks Day! Forever grateful for the experiences and the company.

Fun Fact: Only three fillies have ever taken the crown at the Kentucky Derby. The last to outrun the boys and earn the blanket of roses? Winning Colors in 1988.

Planning a trip to Oaks? Wear a little or a lot of pink as this day is also also includes a survivors parade—to cheer on those fighting and those that have survived breast and ovarian cancer. Over 100 participants are chosen to walk the track.

🌎Take a stroll with us through just a few of the many places where we’ve created unforgettable memories around the world.

From mountaintops to valleys, coast to coast, we’ve stood in awe of God’s magnificent creation—chasing magical sunsets and witnessing breathtaking sunrises. What started as a journey for two has become a cherished adventure with our boys by our side.

These snapshots are just a glimpse of the beauty we’ve explored—and a reminder of why it’s worth protecting.

Happy Earth Day! 🌱 Let’s care for this incredible planet so future generations can experience its wonder too.
