Was anyone else super excited to get back into the swing of things after MDW? For the first time in a long time I was so ready to get back to our routine…

There was a time, not so long ago, when I struggled to find the magic in this mess- in this diagnosis we were so petrified by.

And then, something changed…

We had heaps of leftover corn on the cobb from our Memorial Day BBQ, so I decided to {finally} try my hand at a mexican street corn dish.

Over the last several years I’ve gone in and out of reading phases- there was a stint where I went years without picking up a book. But in the last few years, I’ve picked it up again to varying degrees.

Happy MDW, friends!

Just a few spring finds I’ve been loving lately…

Dear Neurotypical Friends,

As summer approaches, there’s a good chance you’ll meet someone like our girl- in the pool, by the ocean, at the playground...

Two years ago, I didn’t realize April would become such an important month for us. 

Two years ago I knew nothing about Autism other than it was something to be terrified of. 

Two years ago I didn’t know our world was about to be changed-

Five Ways to Support Your Friends With Neurodivergent Children

At the risk of upsetting the Endless Summer crowd, we have one month left until school starts and I, for one, am excited for the next chapter to start. It’s no secret it gets hot as Hades down here in South Carolina- nothing like a humid, 95 degree morning to start your day- so this is just about the time when I start dreaming of the “-er” months.

Happy Friday, friends!

What a week it’s been- I’ve been overwhelmed by the love and support you all have shown me with the launch of pre-orders for my book.

In case you missed it, we wrote a children’s book! Writing My Sister Lila Lee has been one of the greatest joys of my life and I can’t wait to share it with the world this fall- if you’re local to Charleston, be on the lookout for our mini press tour!

Well, friends, it’s been about a year and a half, but the blog is back.

If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you already know it’s been an unexpected few years. But we’ve settled in, and are loving life in our Charleston home.

Happy Wednesday, friends!

As the virtual tour of our Charleston home continues, I bring to you this cheerful slice of little Lila’s bedroom.

Ok, friends. Here it is. The room I so desperately wanted to wallpaper against Phil’s wishes.
In the end, I gave in; and we opted for a glossy light yellow over the floral prints I was so drawn to. And I have to say, I think he was right.

It’s officially fall and it’s almost starting to feel like it down here in Charleston. The mornings are crisp, with a slight bite in the air, but the temperatures still inch their way up by the end of the day. Alas, I embrace those bundled up moments in the early hours, and I’ve started to bring out a bit of fall decor here and there.

If you’ve followed along for a while you know we are a Sunday football kind of family, and that most of the festivities revolve around the foods. Typically, you can find us competing with charcuterie boards or getting down with some famous turkey chili .
