As a stay-at-home mom, I have two amazing boys, one with autism, and I’m also a stepmom to two girls. I’m on a journey toward a healthier, more natural lifestyle, taking things one day at a time. I’m always learning and trying out new things. My dedication to my son’s progress is unwavering, and I’m eager to share our experiences.
