Sometimes a quote can provide enough inspiration to make it through the day. Here's a bunch of my personal quotes from the past few years that people have really appreciated and I wanted to put them all in one place. Please feel free to share these freely. All I ask is you not modify them in any way. :-) [foogallery id="56348"]
The last major thing we needed to do in order to get ready for our trip to Florida was to figure out a new enclosure for the ferrets. Ten days is a long time for them to be locked up for and we needed to make sure that they couldn't escape. We also wanted to make sure that they had enough room to play around and not go crazy from boredom. The best option was to build a custom cage that would meet our needs. Over the last few days, we've been working on a solution to our problem. With a tremendous amount of help from my Dad, we built the perfect cage to move the ferrets to. ☺ We haven't set it up completely yet but we will work…
I'm really excited to share this unboxing video today because I've been really anxious to try this device out. This product is put out by Nokia. I know we usually think of Nokia in regards to phones but they have some really amazing heath and wellness technology. I'm using Nokia technology to help me monitor my health and lose weight. Check out the unboxing video below and let me know what you think or if you have any questions. ☺ https://youtu.be/mbDnJFvPeg4 You can check out the gallery of stills from the unboxing. Stay tuned for a full review. [foogallery id="65558"]
I wanted to take a minute and share a few pictures from Elliott's occupational therapy session today. This was his first time back since being sick and missing the last session. He didn't go with a great deal of excitement because he wasn't in a good mood. By the time he finished up his session, he was in a much better mood. He was even happier after I got him a donut, but don't tell anyone else. 😉 [foogallery id="65509"]
The other night, there were two house fires on our block, one across the street and the other, behind it on the next street. Both fires were most likely arson but no one was hurt because both houses were vacant disasters. I wanted to share what it looked like after the fire was put out and cleaned up. Truthfully, I was surprised they took the house down so quickly because they usually sit for awhile before that happens. Check out the pictures below. [foogallery id="65183"]
I received news tonight that we will officially be on our way to Florida at the end of the month. We've known for a little while that Gavin's wish was going to be granted, but we didn't know when we would be going for sure. People come from all over the world to stay at Give Kids the World. There were only a few slots open and we weren't sure we would be able to get in. We are now officially registered and our spot is reserved for us at the end of September. The one big hang up that came up at the last minute had to do with transportation. They were going to rent us a car for the drive but we realized that we had to…
I try to document our adventures as best I can, but not at the cost of being present in the moment with my family. Part of why I do this is because it helps to provide further context into our journey. Yesterday, I had to get Gavin to Akron Children's Hospital for an eye exam. He's been complaining of episodes where his vision goes dark and all he can see is blackness. As it turns out, his vision issues have nothing to do with his eyes. That's good but frustrating at the same time. We still don't know what's going on or as one of my readers pointed out, whether or not these are really happening. No one thinks he's making this up but at the same time, perhaps he's…
The other day, the boys and I went to Wish-A-Thon 2017. This was a fundraiser for Wishes Can Happen, the organization that is granting Gavin's wish this year. Gavin and I were interviewed on the radio and we learned all about the trip we will be going on. It was amazing to see all the community support for this wish granting organization, and it was an amazing experience for the boys. I wanted to share some of the pictures I took while we were there. You can see the excitement on display, and it really felt good to see the kids so excited. ☺ [foogallery id="64644"]
