Kathryn developed severe hydrops caused by TTTS, and developed heart and lung problems. She lived for two days, but could never be stabilized. Understanding TTTS December is […]
Lose the Cape Again! #Losethecape #LikeABoss #BossMom
Hm… I have never used 3 hashtags in my title! That was fun! It’s a FUN day! First of all, I haven’t been blogging much over the past couple months. That has to do with a few things. I have had some ups and downs in my personal life, but I’ve also been waist deep […]

The Kindergartner’s Guide to Cooking a Thanksgiving Turkey

World Prematurity Awareness Day 2015
We talk about World Prematurity Awareness Day because prematurity can happen to any baby. All causes for preterm birth are not even known, but there are ways you can be prepared and reduce your risk of going into preterm labor.

I especially enjoyed meeting a Korean War veteran […]
