We have arrived lakeside and this landscape always amazes me, every single moment throughout every single day! Sleeping lion is our new regular view and a beautiful new writing spot.

… and the lake plane flew close and low to welcome us home!! Didn’t get the video though…but I’ll be sure to capture it another time!

New chapter! After 15 years of living in Saudi, we are moving close to family and back to my hometown.

Grateful for the adventures, the friends, and the memories!

So many angles to reducing fear and pain in needle related events for infants, children, and even adults!!! These methods (and more) that child life specialists advocate for, are still not a standard of care. I dream of this day! For now, I’m thankful this hard work from 6 years ago, is still educating our community. Early experiences shape a lifetime.

The benefits of stuffed animals, or “stuffies” as we call them, are lifelong and endless! They are often a child’s first friend, first playmate, and a very forgiving “test subject”. The developmental skills (language, motor, social, cognitive, and more) acquired through this bond are ten fold and truly help shape a child’s confidence and ability to cope with life and it’s challenges, long after that stuffy is packed away.

“Turtle” is 15 years old and welcomed our youngest into this world on day 1. As part of the baby room decor at first, turtle later became a pillow as soon as our youngest could control what was in her own sleep space. Turtle has traveled many miles, in many planes, trains, and cars, and still has our daughter’s heart and ear!

Can you imagine your 2 year old bringing turtle into the doctor’s clinic?? Yep, it’s a thing….and size wasn’t stopping us. When you know what comforts your child - use it and advocate for it.

I might be a little jealous of Turtle🐢 💕 but endlessly grateful for that bond!

Thank you to .princess.stories for a wonderful author challenge!
