I was planning on talking about something totally different this episode and then my husband tested positive for COVID and my plans changed :)

We have successfully been keeping this dreaded virus out of our house for the past three years.... until now. The thought of our kids getting COVID has haunted us since this mess all began (much like every other parent of medically fragile children). This episode I talk all about how you can only control so much when it comes to your children's health and at a certain point you have to relinquish that control, remind yourself that you've done all you can do to protect your kids and accept that whatever will be, will be!


#GIVINGTUESDAY is coming up next week and there are a couple foundations that are VERY near and dear to my heart:

Donate to Wylder Nation Foundation to help in the fight for my children's lives:
