May I start by saying that I recognize many people are responsible gun owners, and as a proud American, I also recognize how much our constitutional rights make us who we are. The problem is, we've become rotten spoiled children who believe that our rights are sans responsibility. Does anyone remember that teenager who killed … Continue reading Fuck your Second Amendment Rights, I’m over it
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
Caring for the Caregiver: what we really need to feel supported
Browse any social media site- Instagram, Facebook (and I am sure Tick Tok and Twitter too) and you'll find a hundred memes, gifs or articles about self care for moms. I've read quite a few myself and while these articles are validating, I guess I am not sure where the actual support comes from. Meaning, … Continue reading Caring for the Caregiver: what we really need to feel supported
Feeding Tube Awareness Week 2022
Did you know that over 200,000 children in the United States require a feeding tube? What if I also told you that there are hundreds of conditions that can be a reason why a child may need a tube, most of which are not visible just by looking at someone? It's the honest truth! I … Continue reading Feeding Tube Awareness Week 2022
In the world of medical complexity, I recognize our privilege
Our family is lucky... like damn lucky... to be in the position we are. How can that be? A medically complex/medically disabled kid, job loss, and multiple other laments I've written about and journaled about. For everything we've fought for and been through with Bowen, he is a resilient and happy toddler. Every day is … Continue reading In the world of medical complexity, I recognize our privilege
Meet Bowen!!
* This post was originally written for curetbm.org and was prior to us learning that Bowen would require surgery for his condition. First published on 5/13/2021 Some babies are just fussy eaters… I’ll never forget these words from our labor and delivery nurse after I gave birth to Bowen. Hindsight is 20/20, and in our … Continue reading Meet Bowen!!
Preparing Your Heart For The Hard Stuff
It is late for me and I am tired. I thought about taking a night off from writing but it is also cathartic to get thoughts out of my brain. We celebrated our oldest son's 5th birthday this weekend, and between that and nursing a sprained ankle (ugh, don't ask, I am a klutz) my … Continue reading Preparing Your Heart For The Hard Stuff
“I Don’t Know How You Do It!”
I got thinking that as much as I don't like people saying "how do you do it?", I wonder honestly, "How do I do it?"
Americans are leaving the workplace in record numbers… I have a story about that
My 8 years of hard work, of friendships, camaraderie, passion and purpose all came to an end in September 2020. In the midst of a pandemic, and my lowest point to that date professionally, I
How Somewhere In Between Came To Be
This is a space for working moms balancing needs of medically complex kids. In the absence of a village, I decided to create
