Cali Joy's Journey

Cali Joy's Journey Join us as we share our raw, authentic, and unexpected journey as parents. Our daughter was born with Pfeiffer Syndrome and then our son in three years later.

We love unconditionally and abundantly.

Something I don’t talk about enough as a special needs parent — how isolating friendships can be for our kids.

Most children fall into friendships naturally. For Cali, every connection takes more. More patience. More understanding. More of someone choosing to show up differently.

So when I see this — her laughing, clapping, holding hands with someone who just gets her, I feel something I don’t have words for.

A friend who sees her. All of her.

A sibling bond like no other. 🩰🥹

His hero. Her biggest cheerleader.

I love watching them together — the way he sees her, the way he shows up for her, and the way she just lights up when he’s around. Their bond has grown beyond words

I pray this only gets stronger. Because they’re going to need each other for so much in this life — and I already know they’ll be there.

Nothing like a dance party at the Johnson house.

When I tell you these kids can't contain themselves when the music starts. It's for sure a love language of theirs. They love to move and when mom & dad join then the fun really begins.

No matter what you’re walking through a praise dance will find its way. 🙌🏿
My kids love dancing and this day they’re doing a praise dance and I get over Romey trying to contain his big sis 🤣🤣

Share something that you’ve overcome that deserves a praise dance.

My big girl with her big voice. 🥹

Cali has been so vocal lately — every day she gets closer to forming words. Her voice is getting louder, her sounds more intentional, and in these moments I just know. One day she is going to be talking my ear off in full sentences and I cannot wait.

Girl Dad turned Dance Dad

Watching her in that studio for the first time — doing the same moves we were just practicing in the living room — I felt that. She’s really in her element out there.

Whatever she needs, wherever she needs me, I’m there. Ballet class, tutus, all of it. No hesitation.

Tag a girl dad who shows up no matter what. 👇🏽

When everything around becomes heavy and too much on us I turned to the joy of my kids.

Cali on that trampoline wo who her loving, affectionate and pure contagious joy will always pick me up.

There is something about the innocence of children that just pulls you back to the present without even trying. She filled me all the way back up that day.

I’m so grateful for both of my kids and the way they remind me that joy never left. Sometimes you just need a trampoline and a little girl who loves her mama. 🤍

Who in your life pulls you back to yourself without even trying? 👇🏿

Watching pieces of my childhood show up in the way I love my daughter has been one of the sweetest parts of motherhood.

You don’t realize how much the little moments shape you. I had a love/hate relationship with getting my hair done growing up — I loved the finished style and digging through my bin of barrettes, but hated sitting through the process 😂 Now it’s my turn, and I have so much more admiration for how much love and care my mom poured into me every Sunday.

And now, I get to return that love by doing my mom’s hair and makeup 🥹

So grateful for this beautiful cycle of motherhood.

Love you, Mommy 🤍 and my Cali girl for making me a mom 🫶🏿

Nobody tells you that your greatest strengths can quietly burn you out. My ambition and work ethic carried me far and cost me more than I want to admit. Learning to make them work for me instead of against me? That’s been the real work.

Even as the promotions came, so did the doubt. That little voice saying are you ready? Imposter syndrome started growing louder than my confidence and I had to check myself. Because let’s be real the winners usually start something way before they “feel ready”

My 20s were all about work, work, work. My 30s have been about reflection, growth, and unlearning some things I didn’t even realize I was carrying.

No question that Romen’s best friend is daddy and I love it for both of them.

You can feel the love through the big giggles 🥹🫶🏿
