Our Little Maven

You can't see me now, but if you could...you'd see the biggest smile and the proudest heart a mama could ever have. If you've been walking alongside us from the start of our journey with our little man, Reece, you will remember that we challenged Reece to 'Dream Big' and live without limitations. Well, hang on folks...

Some amazing moms of children with special needs have been encouraging and calling on companies to include children of ALL abilities in their advertising campaigns. I am a huge supporter of this idea of inclusion and when I see companies featuring individuals with special needs in their ads, it just makes my heart soar!

One designer, you may know of her...Tori Spelling, understands the importance of this movement and decided that her 2013 Holiday Look Book was the perfect opportunity to show the world that she is on-board with including children with special needs in her advertisements. And for that, we are forever grateful!

This is a huge win for the Down Syndrome community as well as for other special needs communities. To share with the world what we already know, that our children are capable of amazing things! Today, my heart is bursting! I am so proud of Reece and all of the other beautiful children featured in this Look Book. And to Tori Spelling...thank you for allowing our children to shine so brightly. You are wonderful and I believe you will be rewarded for your efforts!
