Brooklyn just turned 12 a few months ago.  She is only 3 inches shorter than her mama and super fast legs. The excitement she gets at the zoo is adorable, but the crowds and long ups and downs are giving this old mama a reminder that I need to get back to the gym. Self care is crucial for so many reasons.

I moved away from Ellensburg 8 years ago and miss it often. Today I got to enjoy a visit at the  coffee shop just opened in the same spot as Jenikkas. Jenikkas is the often missed Coffee Shop I opened and enjoyed owning off and on with my mother. It survived from 2005 to 2023. Now, a new local has opened and redesigned it. It's beautiful and sending lots of energy their way. They will need it. #Ellensburg #jenikkas #coffee #coffeeshopvibes #love #hometown #autismmom #specialneedsmom #happy #autism #caregiver #escape

Always happy when Justin or Ali can come visit there mom and sister.  It's not as easy for Brooklyn and I to make a road trip to visit them in Ellensburg. This summer for sure.... Enjoy your kids while they are still young.  Time goes so fast.

I definitely got my workout and smiles today. Miss my daughter when she's at her dads, but at least I get some nice company while she's away!

Just remember to appreciate the day on hand because life throws us challenges. This by far being my toughest. 9 years ago today was the biggest challenge ever thrown way. I will never be the same but have learned and grown. All we can do. Please spread the word.
