A summer to remember.
Someone told me that I will remember this summer for the rest of my life. "You only get one season with a baby, and just a few years with a toddler.

How to Cope With The Bad Days When You’re a Disabled Parent.
I kind of feel like a failure today. I'm overworked and seriously overwhelmed with the ridiculous schedule that being a parent brings.
