I’m a 50ish stay at home mom to a 5 year old chaos fairy, aka our later in life miracle girl. She’s amazing, her father & I are equally exhausted and overjoyed! I am a former kids’ mental health caseworker & third grade teacher. She/her, liberal ally!🦋🌈✨
I started to finally tell the story of our daughter, and why I am still so grateful to be her mom.

Turns out I need to take more time than I had tonight. It’s a long story of wanting a baby, unexplained infertility, and then a freaking benign brain tumor derailed our plans completely…(1/2)

What are you thankful for this year?

I have a long list, I hope you do, too. But one person tops my list this year…our five year old girl, known as the Chaos Fairy on social media.

Here’s a funny story:

I was folding laundry and watching Sesame Street with my then-1 year old. The episode was for their 50th. At one point, Elmo says “Wow, 50 is REALLY old!”

I immediately chucked some unfolded laundry at the tv and said “Hey Elmo, I am 51, and you are NOT my favorite muppet!”

I’m 54, married to my love for 24 years, and mom to our amazing 5 year old girl. We had a tough time with unexplained infertility, and a laundry list of other health problems for me, but thanks to medical science and a couple good people, we finally are a family of three.💗💗💗

To be continued…
