I am Juli, a disabilities communicator, writer and mother of 5, sharing the joys and challenges of families in the midst of what we call "life unexpected." I created this blog after my youngest son, Robert, passed away at 18 years of age from a rare mitochondrial disease.

If you are a caregiver, parent, or know and love someone with a disability, I hope you find inspiration, hope, understanding, and community on my blog. I'm glad you're here! ​Let's stay connected -- sign up for our blog newsletter below.
