Living beyond disease - it isn't about ignoring your illness, but it also isn't about living in darkness. It's the active work a person does to balance their chronic disease health and their ability to do what they chose with their lives. It is almost never picture-perfect, but its so worth it, I cannot tell you how thankful I am to share my "living beyond disease" with you!

π—”π—¦π—ž 𝗬𝗒𝗨π—₯ π—€π—¨π—˜π—¦π—§π—œπ—’π—‘π—¦ for QUESTION-A-DAY MAY, where my goal is to answer one question in the form of a YouTube video a day for the month of May! Not too long, not too short. Enough to answer it completely, but not so much that its boring. Let me know if you have any questions I can answer in one of these videos!

May is my favorite month because there is so much to celebrate! Starting up the garden again, my favorite blooming flowers, warmer weather becoming more consistent, my little girl's birthday, Mother's Day, and my own birthday! I thought there couldn't be a better month to do this in!

Happy Mother's Day, it's my first 🩷

I thought we were going to miss it this year as an induction was planned this coming week, but girly had other plans and made her way into the world without any help (and faster than I expected)! It was the most wild and unexpected experience and I can't wait to share it.

We are home, we are learning, and we are adjusting to our new life. Guys - she is just perfect. Zak is incredible. I can't believe we are here. I can't believe my body grew this beauty!! Talk soon :)

Hi guys! I've had many check-ins questioning if baby girl has made her arrival yet. She has not - still very much pregnant! When the time comes, we will want to take some time before sharing with everyone, but we will certainly let you guys know when we are ready! Until then, please send all of your labor-inducing vibes my way because man, am I ready! 🀣

Hi friends! Recently I mentioned Friends of Ostomates Worldwide as a wonderful place to donate your unused ostomy supplies to. I want to clarify that I am not affiliated with them and cannot accept donations on their behalf as I do not have the capacity nor funding to forward packages. Any donations need to be sent directly to FOW, which their information for donations can be found on their website. www.fowusa.org/ Thank you!!
