By day, I'm a freelance writer reporting on unusual old homes and interior design trends and also dabble in furniture restoration (follow my work on Instagram @dovetailordesignstudio). Yet my full time focus and passion is being a mom to my young son Theo, who was born with a rare condition called Angelman Syndrome. This neuro-genetic disorder is characterized by developmental delays, lack of speech, seizures and impaired balance, and is often misdiagnosed as autism or cerebral palsy. While doctors initially told us that Theo would never walk or understand love, he has defied all expectations and is now running laps (literally) around this diagnosis and around the neighborhood. He exudes non-quitting spirit each and every day and is an inspiration to everyone he encounters.
