RAW. AUTHENTIC. TRUTH.
Did you know that Lucas is on a roll? He's selling so many paintings, and yesterday we were able to make our first $50 donation to The Boston House! It's our turn to give back, so if you are interested in any of his liquid paint pours... head over to his Facebook page! Comment SOLD [...]
Like Seriously? Is this even happening right now? No, no it's not.... But it will be happening tomorrow at some point. I don't even know what time this magical bag of donor marrow will be hung here on my 5 year old son's IV pole. I do know it's a 4 hour process that involves [...]
Yesterday was hard for me. It started out with a fun shift at work, despite having to deal with laryngitis. When I got home, my husband had to leave for work, and Lucas was just acting out. I hate coming home to that. I just wish I could come home to a happy little boy [...]
That feeling over overwhelming exhaustion, mixed with that heightened sense of awareness. You know... The feeling of sleeping with one eye closed. That's how I feel I am when I'm on vacation, or anywhere in public with my son. I'm constantly alert, and attentive to his needs. Because of this, I didn't get good sleep. [...]

When your "Wish Kid" gives you an [...]
Give Kids The World - Castle of Miracles Where do I begin? I guess I will start by mentioning that we had another rough night of sleep. Chris and Rachel came home from Magic Kingdom after 1am, and couldn't get into the villa because I had locked the deadbolt, and I guess once you do [...]
Most of our followers know that we have a very adorable, and chronically ill little boy named Lucas. The Make A Wish foundation granted him a very special wish, and it all came true rather quickly.
