Now a day’s, the thing I look most forward to is when it hits Midnight and I can check Facebook and Snapchat to relive my memories with Aria. My heart fell to the floor when I opened up my memories from yesterday and found this……. After Sandy Hook on December 14th, 2012, sending your child…

Last night, I had two of Aria’s best friends and my cousin sleep over. We have been talking about it for awhile. With one of the girls starting school this Friday, last night was the only night that seemed to work for everyone. I made “Walking taco’s” last night. They aren’t Aria’s fav taco’s but…

 I planned on documenting most of my trip and having a video to share with you all. However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I wanted to keep the actual video footage of us releasing Aria’s ashes private. I can tell ya, it was absolutely beautiful. There was no question…

Yesterday, marked the 6th month “anniversary” of Aria’s death. I put it in quotes because the word anniversary feels like a celebration, even though the correct term is a “date where an event took place.” I have no words really? I’ve been physically ill all week. To comprehend that I haven’t seen or heard Bugs…

I don’t know why but for some reason I wanted to do this week’s blog about school counselors, social workers and psychologist. It was on my heart, so I decided to dive in. I started by counting how many schools there are in MPS School District. Disclaimer: I picked MPS because it is the district…

*****TRIGGER WARNING********** I don’t know if you all know this, but today marks the 3-year anniversary of my dad’s stroke. It was a Sunday. I had planned on doing homework and studying all day. My mom took Aria to LA for 10 days for Ashlee’s birthday on July 2nd. Also, to help me out during…

This Friday marks my last day at work. I am excited and scared to see what the future holds. During the 2nd week of April, I told HR that I would be leaving Park permanently. Giving them a 2 and ½ month notice in hopes that I could find a job working solely in Suicide…
