Welcome!

Hi—and welcome to my blog! My name is Ann. I live in Ohio with my husband Tim, our daughters Lucy (6) and Alice (3), our sons Calvin (2) and Peter (newborn), and our two dogs Pierre and Harper. I love being a mom! Before I had my kids, I used to hear people say how much they love being a mom and that it was their greatest accomplishment. I didn't quite understand until I became a mom myself. My life as a mom is messy, stressful, crazy and oftentimes completely maddening. But man... it's the best life in the world. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Our three-year-old daughter Alice rocks an extra chromosome (aka: she has Down syndrome!). A lot of this blog centers around her and our journey with Down syndrome. It was an unexpected ride, but man do we love our tour guide! I love sharing positive, accurate information about Down syndrome with all of you in order to change perceptions. Alice is amazing and perfectly created by God and she will do anything she wants
