Wordless Wednesday- First dance recital

This past weekend marked the end of Princess Peach’s first year of dance with a weekend of recitals. At not even 4 years old, her dance school had a technical rehearsal, a full rehearsal and two dance recitals! It was a very busy weekend but one that was so exciting! She absolutely loved being on […]

Stolen Moments

Playing a guitar duet with Little Dude. A funny conversation during breakfast. A nudge to get out the door. An impromptu dance party. Whispering sweet nothings in Princess Peach’s ear after she’s long asleep. Those moments. Are stolen away from me. Stolen because I’m currently not able to be the mother that I once was. […]

I sometimes forget I have cancer

Sometimes I forget I have cancer. It’s weird to write it and say it out loud. But it’s true. Right now my life revolves around my chemo treatments. I’m halfway done which is amazing! 3 chemo treatments down and 3 left to go. After my treatment tomorrow I’ll be 75% done with chemo! I still […]

A heart full of love

I have to thank everyone for all the messages, emails, texts, phone calls, snail mail, packages, flowers, food, company and most importantly support that I received since I’ve shared the news about my cancer diagnosis. It has been nothing short of overwhelming and has made me realized how loved I am by so many people. […]
