In this episode, Katie and I share what that transition looked like for our families. The excitement, the fears, the overwhelming moments, and the joy of finally being HOME.
If you've ever wondered what life looks like after the NICU, this episode gives you a little glimpse into our world. 💗
We hope you'll give it a listen, share it with a friend, and help us continue raising awareness for extraordinary families like ours. 🎧💕

After months of hospital rooms, monitors, surgeries, and uncertaint...

Today at therapy, Caroline had an INCREDIBLE session. 🥹💗
Every Tuesday and Thursday, our girl has OT, PT, and speech from 9–12. Those are LONG mornings for our sweet girl, and let me tell you, they aren’t always butterflies and rainbows. There are hard moments, frustration, and sometimes lots of tears.

But Y’ALL. TODAY?! NOT A SINGLE TEAR! 👏🏻😭

AND DRUMROLL PLEASE… 🥁

We’re pretty sure our sweet girl was SINGING!!! 🎶

Caroline LOVES The Wheels on the Bus. During speech therapy today, we were singing, “The wheels on the bus go round and…” and then we stopped. We waited to see what she would do.
AND SHE MADE A SOUND THAT WE ALL AGREED SOUNDED LIKE “ROUND!” 😭💗

So we’re calling that singing, okay?!

Did her speech therapist have to run and grab me a box of tissues? YES. ABSOLUTELY. Because sometimes the smallest sounds are the BIGGEST moments.
And that’s not all!
Our girl is also LOVING the piano! 🎹 Caroline has been reaching more and more lately, and today she reached for the piano over and over again. Every time she pressed a key and heard the music play, she would SMILE!

Y’all, this is HUGE! She’s beginning to understand cause and effect. When I reach for this and touch it, something happens! And the fact that she WANTS to do it again and again makes it even sweeter.
I wish I could put into words what days like today mean to us. We work so hard for these moments. We pray for them. We wait for them. And sometimes, right in the middle of an ordinary Tuesday morning, God gives us a little glimpse of just how far our girl is coming.

Today wasn’t about doing something perfectly. It was about trying, connecting, exploring, and finding joy in the little things.
And today, our girl found her voice and made her own music. 🥹🎶💗

A little Team Caroline update! 💗
Friday, we officially launched our very first Team Caroline Collection, and I just want to say THANK YOU! What started as an idea has turned into something so special for our family. Every shirt, sweatshirt, tumbler, and hat purchased helps us continue giving Caroline opportunities through therapies, treatments, and equipment that insurance doesn’t always cover.

We’ve already had such a wonderful start, and every single order is helping us get one step closer to Caroline’s next round of MUSE stem cell treatment! We are planning to head back SOON, and knowing we have so many people cheering her on means more than you’ll ever know. 🥹💗 But Team Caroline has always been about so much more than merchandise. It’s about a little girl who continues to move mountains and an entire community cheering her on along the way.

Whether you’ve made a purchase, shared our collection, or simply followed along and prayed for our girl, THANK YOU for being part of Team Caroline!

If you haven’t checked out the collection yet, I’ll leave the link below! 💗
Once you get your item in, please share a photo and tag us. 🫶🏻💓

MOVING MOUNTAINS MONDAY 💗🏔️
Every Monday, I want to share a little piece of Caroline’s journey. The hard work, the tiny victories, and sometimes even the challenges that come along with it. One thing Caroline has taught us is that moving mountains doesn’t always look the way you might imagine.
Sometimes it’s holding her head up a little longer. Sometimes it’s reaching for a toy, sitting with less support, or trying something new in therapy.

And here’s something I hope you’ll remember as you follow along: **Progress doesn’t have to be big to be worth celebrating. **
Over the past week we have noticed Caroline teaching and grabbing for more things. This is huge! 🙌🏻🏔️
Our girl is moving mountains. 🏔️💗
What’s one little victory you’re celebrating this week? Big or small, we’d love to celebrate with you!

Fall festival at the farm! 🎃🍂🤎
This farm has been part of our family for 90 years! And yes, my brother is a 5th-generation farmer! 🚜
Growing up, some of my absolute favorite childhood memories were made right here with my brothers and cousins. Running around the farm, playing together, and making memories we still talk about today.
And now, getting to watch Caroline make those same kinds of memories with her cousins is something so special. 🥹
Today was filled with pumpkins, porch swinging, cousin time, and a whole lot of sweetness.
Five generations later, this little piece of land is still giving our family some of its sweetest memories. 🤎🍁

Friday Night Lights! 🏈💡🥁
Some of our sweetest longtime friends are part of the high school marching band! Dad is the band director, and their son is on the drumline!
Fun fact: I started babysitting this sweet boy almost 14 years ago. 🥹 And then his little sister for many years after that! It’s so fun (and a little emotional 🥹) getting to watch them grow up and see them doing what they love! And Caroline?! She was the BIGGEST fan of the marching band! 😂🥁 Caroline lasted all 4 quarters and fell right to sleep on the way home.

We are SO excited to officially launch our Team Caroline Collection! 🎀 What started as a little page to keep family and friends updated during Caroline’s 300-day NICU journey has turned into a community of thousands of people who have loved, prayed for, and CHEERED on our girl. Now, you can officially wear your support! 🫶🏻
Every purchase helps us continue providing Caroline with therapies, intensives and MUSE Stem Cell treatments.
We’ve poured so much love into this collection, and we hope you’ll love it as much as we do… and even better.. this is just the first launch. 👀 We have a lot of really exciting things for The Team Caroline Shop. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of Team Caroline and helping our girl continue to move mountains. 💗🏔️
