Thank you for taking the time to visit our site!

A little about myself…

I have been fortunate enough to stay home with my girls while they are young, and I have loved every minute of it so far. I’ve also been a member of the sleep deprived D-Mom’s club for four years now. I haven’t loved every minute of that! But I am grateful for the extra time I get to spend with B and for all the little blessings in disguise that have come along with it. I am supported by the most wonderful husband and father to my kids (he jokes that he doesn’t make a lot of appearances in my posts, but he does actually exist).

In the first few days after B was diagnosed, one of the nurses told me to remember that she is a kid first and a diabetic second. This has mostly been our mantra since (because sometimes diabetes does need to come first).

Diabetes takes up so much of our lives as D-parents and that is the main focus of this website, but we also wanted to remember that there is so much more of the world to explore which is why we have tried to include other elements of our lives: family, food, and travel.

We hope you stay for the journey that is our crazy incredible life!
