Have you been to Brown & Brown farms in Oxford Fl if you are a local?
Check out the strawberry u pick season where on weekends they have their kid play pass: we had a great time in the human crawl tunnel (think cat wheel👀), play houses, giant slides, tire swings and so much more.

Heart Month is coming up and it’s crazy to me how we are approaching 5 years since his heart surgery. The memories are still so fresh in my mind but I can also see my small family beginning to heal from it as well.
I still don’t know what heart month will look like for us on this page but awareness will be spread.

It will also be the month that marks the anniversary of the majority of the followers we have on here. So thank you for being here. It’s been amazing sharing his journey with you and if you primarily followed for heart content I will be posting it soon.

Let’s be CHD AWARE🫀❤️‍🩹🫰

Today we visited M.O.M.S. Park in Ocala—a peaceful, beautiful place honoring children lost too soon. Walking the paths and reading the memorials was a quiet reminder of love, loss, and how deeply these lives are remembered. 🤍

If you are nearby it’s an incredibly touching walkway to visit that takes no more than about 30 minutes if you are stopping at each site.

She has been the happiest pup since we started increasing her walks.

It’s was intimidating to me to take both my son who can elope (run off) and the dog who to be fair also elopes if we aren’t careful. So we haven’t done many walks.

Now that they both have been equally enjoying their “jobs” I’m realizing walks aren’t all that bad.

Don’t forget to get a dog that will let their tiny human walk them.

4 going on 40?

He has someone that always tell us how he sits like an old man and he always imagines him reading a newspaper 🤷🏼‍♀️
So I thought I’d take the opportunity to capture it.

Smaller bowling balls.
Smaller lanes.
Smaller pins?

We went to duckpin bowling and it was such a cute activity to do with kids. It was also very quiet at the time we went so very sensory friendly! He keeps asking to go back 😅

He falls asleep in my arms these days only once every few months. I cherish these moments more and more knowing he’s growing up faster than I can count. I know for a time I only dreamed of these days.

He can’t control his stims in the same way a person doesn’t recognize when they twiddle their thumbs. This is his body’s natural reaction to the environment around him.
