Discount Code for 20% off: ONCEUPONAGENE

Chelsea and Amber of Lemon Cake—two fellow rare moms on a mission—pop in to remind you that even when seizures, meltdowns, and endless therapies feel like they’re winning, there’s still room for belly laughs, tiny victories, and yes, a slice of cake. I had so much fun chatting with these bright lights as they shared how a spontaneous Instagram Live turned into a lifeline for parents of medically complex kids. They unpacked those “garage-floor” prayers, served up bite-sized self-care hacks and showed us how to keep carving out joy in the thick of it.

Their brand-new 57-page e-book, "Finding Joy in the Journey", is bursting with real-life stories, practical worksheets (including a simple medical binder template), and reminders that you’re never alone. Grab your copy at makinglemoncake.com and use code ONCEUPONAGENE for 20 % off—because we all deserve a little extra sweetness in our day. You can also find them on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/makinglemoncake/ to join the Cake Pop community, soak up their bright energy, and maybe one day snag that killer lemon cake recipe. These women are lifting others in the thick of it, and I’m here for every ounce of their glow.
