Check-In & What’s Happening With Sunflowers & Red Feathers

Our Interview Series is slowing down and we are looking for more topics for our episodes. We recently just had both of our boys’ birthdays and are trying to find our “normal” again. 


We know it has been a crazy year. Last March everything kind of just shut down and not too much has changed in that regard this year which makes it even more crucial to have the support you need. Between insane weather, a pandemic, and more heartache than most can handle, the community you build is going to be what you need most.


If you are in need of help finding your new normal, reach out. That's what we are here for.


Until next time, we wish you all hope, joy, beauty and love.

Here are some of the quotes that we found relatable: “Then one day in one second everything changed.”      All tragedies are so unexpected. It only takes one second and your entire world is upside down. "Let’s go get you a new toy. That will make you feel better.”     Do you have other children who are still alive?
