Hey there, I’m Kim!

I’m mom to Logan — a hilarious, determined little boy with Down syndrome who has completely reshaped the way I see the world. The Good and The Hard is our story: the joy, the challenges, the therapy life, the advocacy journey, the messy middle, and the everyday magic of raising a child with a disability.

I’m a stay-at-home mom, creative entrepreneur, and fierce advocate for inclusion. Most days are a blend of sensory adventures, school drop offs and pick ups, therapy appointments, errands, overstimulation, household chaos, and the sweet, quiet moments that remind me why it all matters.

I created The Good and The Hard as a place where anyone connected to children like Logan can learn, connect, and feel at home.

This isn’t just a corner of the internet for parents of disabled children—though you’ll definitely find community here. It’s also for:

  • Teachers & paraprofessionals who want to understand their students more deeply

  • Therapists who care about supporting the whole family, not just the child

  • Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends who want to better understand the kids they love

  • Parents of neurotypical kids who want to raise inclusive, kind, curious humans

  • Anyone who believes that differences make our world more beautiful

If you’re here because you want to understand, support, celebrate, or stand beside kids like Logan — welcome. You’re my people.

Who this space is for

My Mission

My mission is simple:

To make the world easier to navigate, and more welcoming, for Logan and every child like him.

And my hope is that by sharing our experiences, tools, and messy reality, you feel more equipped to support the kids in your own life.

My Creative Work

I also run an Etsy shop filled with designs inspired by our life — inclusive apparel, disability-positive graphics, profession-specific shirts for educators & therapists, and resources that celebrate differences with pride. Every piece is created with the hope that it sparks conversation, encourages advocacy, or simply makes someone feel seen.

A space for real connection

Here, you’ll find honest stories, practical tips, sensory-friendly ideas, advocacy tools, creative resources, and encouragement for anyone wanting to show up better for disabled children — whether you’re raising one, teaching one, loving one, or simply wanting to understand them more.

If you’d like these insights, stories, and resources delivered right to your inbox, I’d love for you to join my newsletter community. It’s where I share deeper reflections, behind-the-scenes moments, and the tools that help us navigate both the good and the hard.

I’m truly so glad you’re here.
Let’s learn, grow, and make this world a more inclusive place — together.
