I did not choose to be a stay at home mom; it chose me. My son Dempsey, was born in 2014 with Cerebral Palsy and Achondroplasia(dwarfism). Because of these conditions Dempsey could not attend daycare, and I quit teaching preschool to care for him. Due to illness and health complications, Dempsey was in and out of the hospital for the first year of life. Then and now, our days are filled with doctor appointments and physical and occupational therapy. Dempsey has made unbelievable gains and amazed all of his specialists. I love devoting all of my time to help Dempsey’s development. 

Dempsey is now three, goes to school two days a week, and (drumroll please) has started walking in his walker. Our days are spent putting him through his “workouts,” reading, playing with his little brother, Dom, and working on eating. Dempsey’s progress has allowed him to become more independent, which has afforded me more free time.  A year ago, my aunt Terrie taught me how to bake and decorate the exceptional cookies I now create. As I have honed my skills, I have developed a passion for crafting personalized cookies for others. I love having another passion other than my kids. I have so much fun creating and decorating cute and delicious cookies.
