Misha, bigs hills and lots of stairs

Thanks to the cyber world, I met an amazing AMC gal, Misha.  She lives in Peru and is awesome and funny.  I wish we lived closer, because we’d totally be buds.  She has a blog and I’m honored to be her guest blogger this month.  If you have time please give it a read and check out her blog and view on life with AMC. You’ll love her.

2014 Miss America: Women With Disabilities That Rock

I love that there are so many ladies with disabilities out there shining and not letting their difference hold them back.  It feels like the news has been full of awesome stories.  Meg, author of one my favorite blogs, Don’t Hide It, Flaunt It mentioned today that there will be a contestant born without her forearm in the 2014 pageant airing tonight.

VIDEO: X Factor & AMC

Oliver’s beloved teacher at daycare clued me into the X Factor episode of a girl with AMC.  I watched it and totally got teary – she was oozing with cuteness and confidence.  I loved how her mom adored her and cheered her on. Kinda like when you see strangers greet their loved ones in the airport and you’re so happy that they are so happy.

5 Obnoxious Things

Traveling always stirs up a story. It reminds me how we make our day-to-day world to be as easy and comfortable as possible. Leaving the safe bubble of home pushes us to new limits but can also be a little obnoxious.

5 Obnoxious Things I Experienced in Cleveland, OH this week:

Amazing AMCers: Meet Mark Hall

Mark became my bud on Facebook. It is really weird but I can’t remember how…just feels like he has always been there, commenting on my posts, wishing me Happy Birthday even when it’s not… His humor makes me laugh. I plan for my AMC bestie in New Zealand and Mark to marry. They are just taking their sweet time. *sigh*

LTYM Video

The videos for Listen to Your Mother are up.  Check out my story on being a disabled mom. The Milwaukee cast has a great collection stories.

Fetterman Crutches

I wanted to blog at least once a week.   Let’s be real…I’m happy I get my laundry done every week – Oliver pees on stuff a lot. Work consumes a lot of me. The rest goes to family, quality TV (have you seen Catfish on MTV?…OMG) and a few glorious moments lounging on my deck with my iPad to read (aka napping in the sun). Oh and really important Facebook and Twitter posts.
