lots of self care happening…
I don’t know about you all, but the stomach flu, sinus & upper respiratory infections and the regular flu are running around rampant throughout my house, K2’s school and my work! This crap knocks people out for days. Not me though, I don’t have time for that crap. Thankfully KEM is the ONLY one…

every day is a new day…
Looking back at my last posts I’ve noticed a trend… I take time off from posting when life gets extra busy.. which obviously makes sense but I forget how cathartic writing can be… I read back over the post(s) and then reflect on all that has happened since the last post.. The summer and fall…

one day at a time…
So much has happened since my last post. School started for the kids… Marathon training began… Family wedding season is in full bloom… K2’s soccer season started… My 4th year of coaching Girls on the Run started… I often don’t know how we do it! But we take things one day at a time and…

So much has happenened since my last post… sorry to have been MIA… we went to the GI dr at the half way mark of KEM’s induction phase (late July) and got GREAT news… not only did he gain 6 lbs. but all of his bloodwork came back better too. The GI staff and nurses…

livin’ it up NG-tube style
The trip to Martha’s Vineyard (MV) was so much fun. K2 and I left Friday, July 8th and headed to PA to spend the night at 425. We all went to bed for a few hours before we embarked on our journey. KEM slept pretty well, especially since he had to sleep with his sister. (This…

how could you be so selfish?
Running and working out are not just healthy lifestyle choices for me. They both (running especially) help with bringing clarity to challenges I’m working through in my head and give me a chance to turn off my “mom mode” or “professional mode”. When I know I can’t be at my best for K2 (the kids)…

feeling that you’re losing the game
While we struggle finding foods for KEM, we also struggle with finding the right balance for KMM’s foods. She can eat whatever she wants (in moderation) while her brother can barely eat anything at all. The normal drop off and pick up routine includes eating a snack in the car but that cannot happen now.…

the official diagnosis
On June 16th the hubbie and I finally got the diagnosis we weren’t quite prepared to hear for KEM (9 yr. old son) – Crohn’s Disease. There was still one test that needed to be done in order to reach an area of KEM’s small intestine and colon but that could wait until after the…

KEM’s final camp week..
KEM’s last week of camp, but his first week with his new “lucky tube” (as he now calls it) has started off really well. I sat down the Head of the camp to find out how hewas adjusting to life at camp with his NG tube. Come to find out things are going really well!…

Where has the time gone???
Thing 2 is 4 months old today! I cannot believe it. An email from BabyCenter says between this time and 6 months of age, she’ll develop the ability to make some sounds, which means we might hear the words “mama” and “dada.” At this point Hubby and I can totally wait for her to talk!…
