Fresh flowers seriously brighten my mood and just make me so so happy! They're all so different and full of life and color. I love watching them bloom and saving every last second with a bouquet before it runs it's course. Last week was a doozy of a week. It was just really rough mentally …

Surfing Life
I was cleared to use one crutch when I'm moving around my house. Woohoo to milestones! That was seriously big news! So for the rest of the day Tuesday, I used one crutch around my house. I was so excited to be able to move my water cup from room to room and carry a …
