The official tally is up from our Josiah Strong - Autoinflammatory Awareness Bamboo Pajamas collaboration with Whimsy & Co Bamboo 🐻

We are so happy to say we raised 200$ to give back! I plan to donate this money to one non profit that is near & dear to our heart, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital 🤍

Josiah has been a CMN child since before his FCAS diagnosis and without them, im not sure how we would’ve gotten through the ICU stays, the long travels to doctors, even gotten his medical wagon through CMN. We are very new to Vandy’s CMN but we are so excited to splash into this pond.

Thank you to everyone who bought the pajamas, I cant wait to see pictures! ✨🤠

Having a son who has a incurable disease and needs to take daily injections to give a healthy life - we are always looking for ways to keep him calm and we are so thankful for . Worry Pals sent Josiah little worry dolls to hold onto for his injection but also a Worry Pal book to read all about his friends and a diary journal so we can document his feelings, needs, wants, emotions.
Thank you Worry Pals for being so good to our community!

Miss Alaiya had her first model call for Crane Baby 🤍

We know first hand how amazing this nursery company is! From the quality, the designs but what truly sold me is that they are eco friendly and organic.
I highly recommend this brand to all my parents out there! 🎀

july is juvenile arthritis awareness month 💚

josiah suffers from Polyarthralgia which is arthritis and joint pain in multiple joints due to his rare genetic disease, familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome.

2 years ago Josiah couldnt walk up and down the stairs, has a limp or sometimes couldnt bare weight on his legs due to how severe his pain was, fast forward 2 years later.. we cant keep up with this child.
Anakinra (Kineret) saved our baby boy’s life. 🫶🏽

Exciting new adventures are coming to life!
I joined and collaborated with a local non profit organization Fort Campbell Spouses' Club!💙

As yall know our medical journey has been a world wind from Josiah’s rare disease diagnosis and both Jayse & Josiah having autism, I been working effortlessly finding ways to get our mission out there!

Coming to Fort Campbell i’ve found we needed more inclusive activities, sports, events and even parent meet ups. I’m so excited to work with this group of beautiful women to get the ball rolling!

** If any of my local special needs families have any ideas or visions you want to see please drop them in the comments!**
