Recently, we attended an amazing Easter egg hunt hosted by friends who get more done in a day than I can hope to get done in a week #LifeGoals Truly, these guys are amazing. They welcome families to their home. They hide 300+ eggs with treats inside. They address the more than...

I've been thinking about this photo since it showed up in my Facebook feed this morning. It was taken seven years ago, and Sofia was just about one and a half years old. At the time of this photo, she was not yet diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. That would come two weeks later....
