Welcome

Hi! I’m Lauren and that’s my husband, Chad, my son Channing (5), and daughter London (1). Let me just be clear about one thing right off the bat: I’m new at this whole “blogging” thing, and that will be very evident! A friend pushed me to start writing my thoughts because she thought it would be therapeutic and helpful in navigating this season of my life. She was right.

This blog will be a place where I will talk about where I am, where I have been, and where I hope to go. I am normally a very private person, so this is not going to be easy. I’ve searched for someone out there in a similar situation as me and have yet to find her. I’m hoping with this blog I will reach a new audience of mamas and we can all come together to help each other.

My son, Channing, was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder when he was 2. He is the happiest little boy on earth and my reason for this blog. This blog will be a place where I share our many highs and a few unfortunate lows… in hopes that someone will relate and/or be helped by knowing they are not alone. I hope to look back on this blog one day and be so proud of how far WE have come. I’m glad you are here and hope you’ll stick around.
