Somehow, it’s already May, and that means summer is really right around the corner. For parents, that means school is almost over, and it’s time to gear up for camp and kid-friendly travel! When your child has severe allergies, diabetes, epilepsy, special needs, or other chronic medical conditions, however, planning for summer fun takes a little extra work than average. So, today, we’ll take a look at our Top Five Tips for A Safe Summer.

Mother’s Day Approaches!

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and that always makes me think of my own mom, of course, but also about all the incredible mothers I’ve known who have guided and supported me throughout the years. I think about the mentors and teachers, aunts and grandmothers, contemporaries and older friends who shared the wisdom of their life experiences. I think about all of these amazing women, and I am grateful for each and every one of them. That’s why on Mother’s Day, I don’t just call my mom; I call my sister, who is busy with two kids out in California. I call my aunt whose sons have long been grown and out of the house. I call my grandmother and listen to her recount stories of my mom’s childhood and my own, all of which I’ve heard many times, and feel grateful that she still recalls them so well and enjoys sharing them with me.

Recently, we caught up with Lauren’s Hope jewelry designer, Ann Kathryn, who shared her thoughts on jewelry design and gave us a little sneak peek at what she has in the works.
