Hi, my name is Sara, and I am a busy beaver. My husband is a golden retriever. We have a nice family, but sometimes we fight. Are you now asking yourself, “Okay Sara, what are you talking about?” If you are, I promise I am not crazy. I am, in fact, a busy beaver. It … Continue reading How to be Married 101
Author: somewhereinbetweenco
Colorado mama of two amazing boys, and wife to a hero. I am an advocate for children, those with disabilities/special needs, women's rights and workplace equality and an ally for anyone who considers themselves "different".
Bachelors degree in Public Relations, I am channeling my passions into action but figuring out how to start! Hard work and faith will get me there.
I am open to engaging in tough discussions to learn more about what is important to those with special needs kiddos. I am hoping that through my own journey I can share wisdom and encouragement to those who need a safe space.
Eventually, I'd love my blog and website to be a place for other small women-owned businesses to share their work and their loves and raise money for charities that are near and dear to my heart
I ‘baby’ my youngest, and I’m not ashamed
I've been mulling over a conversation with some friends I had a while back regarding how wildly capable and resilient children are. Somehow, the conversation always ends up coming to Bowen- probably because he's one of my favorite topics. One friend who sees Bowen every day at school mentioned how capable he is, and in … Continue reading I ‘baby’ my youngest, and I’m not ashamed
Save Your Tears For Another Day
Another summer has come and gone and like most parents, I have been full of mixed feelings about summer ending and the kids returning to school. Personally, after the Fourth of July, I am all about fall. But I am not always as ready for the kids to go back to school as I am … Continue reading Save Your Tears For Another Day
Meeting Your Child Where They Are
Happy Autism Acceptance Month and Happy Spring! As a preschool teacher, we encounter kids every school year who present differences and challenges we weren't expecting. Some of our children do exhibit behaviors that may mirror such a diagnosis and yet, we choose to love them and take on the hard work that is teaching them. … Continue reading Meeting Your Child Where They Are
An Elephant in the Room
I want to write about and discuss a topic that I find to be an "elephant in the room" so to speak... implicit bias even as SN caregivers. Toward the end of last year, I went through 2 ECE college courses and also took a training through Parent to Parent (which I plan to spotlight … Continue reading An Elephant in the Room
The “Right” Way To Grieve
I am going to be perfectly honest... This summer has been awful. I do my best to not wish time away, but Summer 2023 cannot come to an end quick enough. Chris will begin a new journey as a high school EMS instructor this month but until then, May, June and July had been fraught … Continue reading The “Right” Way To Grieve
Finding Faith
I was driving down Chambers headed toward the hospital. It was early morning and I was on my way to see baby Bo. I'd just dropped Cael off at daycare. It was a spring day in 2019 and I was in an ok mood but I could not find anything worth listening to on the … Continue reading Finding Faith
A (hopefully) Easy-To-Understand Breakdown of How to be a Paid Caregiver in Colorado
Did you know that the month of November celebrates over 35 different National observations?! I didn't either until I did a little bit of research and one thing I learned was that November recognizes the month as National Family Caregivers Month and Home Care and Hospice month! As we fast forward to January (yes, I … Continue reading A (hopefully) Easy-To-Understand Breakdown of How to be a Paid Caregiver in Colorado
Embracing the night
Hello Darkness my old friend... We just had our last 7:00pm sunset here in Colorado and I am SO excited spooky season is right around the corner! Autumn is definitely my season, and as nature puts itself to sleep for the winter, I find myself feeling more alive than ever. Cloudy rainy days make me … Continue reading Embracing the night
The Discipline Dichotomy: parenting two separate humans, equally
Do you ever find yourself ready to pull your hair out because as you just finished getting one child straightened out from a meltdown, your other one starts to act out and you end up repeating the same process? But then, that process you tried with #1 suddenly isn't working for #2, so you have … Continue reading The Discipline Dichotomy: parenting two separate humans, equally
