Resister. Disability advocate. Mental health advocate. Garden newbie. Music lover, animal lover, and intentional optimist (especially for my kids).
I spent Wednesday in Washington, D.C. talking with my North Carolina Representatives/Senator about the importance of Medicaid, Dept of Ed, Bill HR 1520, and the ENABLE Act as part of the the National Down Syndrome Society advocacy day. Now we wait as we continue to advocate.

My son (12) is starting to get interested in photography. I love that he caught the sassy side eye of our sweet bunny, Bonnie.

I see friends going to Disney and I’m happy that they can make these happy memories but I’m over here stocking up on heirloom seeds, stackable water containers, non-perishable foods, and researching concrete bunkers. Holding American allies in my crying broken empathic heart. Hugging my kids.

This is EVERYTHING.

Canada isn’t just a neighbor or an ally. They’re the friends who are family.

Kamala Harris: You inspired us in 2024.

If Vice President Harris inspired YOU like she inspired 74,749,891 Americans, it's worth a solid "all the way re-post!"

South Range school district in Ohio, is removing children with IEPs who were enrolled during open enrollment in their school district.

Ohio is taking away parents' right to have ALL our children receive an education.

MAGA gov is putting a 🎯🎯 on our children.

Before kids, I went to protests, made signs, and was loud. Now, with 2 sons (youngest is disabled) protests aren’t always a good fit. I’m trying to find my mode of resistance. I donate. I make calls. I teach my oldest to not stay silent. I am going to DC to advocate for disability rights. Trying.

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same

When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state

What is your favorite water filtration system? Berkey? Looking for a diy or something that I don’t need to get on Amazon. Thanks! Thinking ahead…

Dear Canada. I am damn ashamed to be an American. I’ve taken countless trips there and dreamed of taking my kids across the boarder to see your beauty. Please know that numerous Americans are proud of you for standing up when we feel helpless. We are doing what we can to resist!

I’m finding it easy to appreciate the beauty in life and people but impossible to disconnect from the dread.
