About Me

When my husband and I started having problems conceiving our first child, we started to being changing the focus of our lives. We knew we wanted to have children. We didn’t know how many, but the perspective of not having any children in our lives didn’t seem like what either of us had planned for our lives together. Over the course of a couple of years we did everything we were asked to begin our family. I will never forget the day I spoke to a fertility doctor over the phone when he told me that I should start thinking about adoption. It wasn’t until that moment that it really hit me. I may not be able to have any children. It was heartbreaking.

My husband assured me that we needed to regroup and take a break from concentrating on starting a family. We took a much needed vacation with each other and 9 months later we gave birth to our miracle baby, Kailey.

Kailey was the miracle we had hoped and prayed for. She is our angel. Even in the moments she decides to have her own opinions about bedtime, or what she wants to eat for dinner; I take pleasure in knowing we’ve created such a sweet and special little girl.

As Kailey’s mother I can say that I’m biased to think that she is a gifted child. I will qualify that statement by saying that I’ve heard comments from strangers to confirm my own thoughts. Kailey is very intuitive, very sensitive, intelligent, inquisitive, and imaginative. Even though she is now 4 years old, I have to constantly remind myself that I’m not talking to an older child when we are having a conversation. We have raised Kailey to know that she can be whatever she wants to be in life. She can do anything she wants to do, and there is nothing that will stop her in life.

We constantly have imagination sessions to pretend we are astronauts in space, or princesses trapped in a castle waiting for our prince charming. Kailey is used to imagination, and our Adventures in Chalk seemed like the natural progression. With Kailey’s imagination, and my artistic background it seemed like a natural fit for us to dream up our own adventures.

Each day we talk about our next adventure, or what we would like to try next. Then, I work with her to create that reverie with chalk. We hope that you enjoy our adventures, and can take away your own piece of childhood wonder. Kailey inspires me every day to see the world from the perspective of a child, with the innocence and wonder of a child.
