A Sweet Life: Surviving the Diagnosis
4:34 PM
A few weeks ago Jessica Apple the founder and editor-in-chief of A Sweet Life emailed me to tell me that she read our families story on my blog. (Me - Whaaaaat? Really? You read my blog?)
She also asked if I would be interested in writing a post about Nate's T1D diagnosis. Would I be interested ---- Ummm Yes! How many articles have I read and how many recipes have I made from A Sweet Life - - - A LOT!! I love the magazine style of the site and always find the articles informative and interesting. So, yes - I was thrilled!
As it turns out writing for someone else is much harder than I thought it would be. I really struggled finding the words and making them all come together. I found that so strange since I am never at a loss for words over here at HWHAP. It took a while but I was finally able to get something over to Jessica and guess what . . . it's the featured article today on A Sweet Life.
If interested, please head over to A Sweet Life, read 'Surviving the Diagnosis' by yours truly, check out the recipes, featured bloggers and many, many informative articles. Jessica and her husband, Mike both have T1D and are truly inspiring.

Its an awesome post! So proud of you!! Xoxo
Well done Laura.
Read it - it's great Laura - thanks for sharing this to a wider audience!
Great job, Laura! Thanks for pointing me to that site....I haven't been there yet!
Great signature and WONDERFUL post but you already know that cause I told you!!
Hugs
Horray! I'm so proud of my friend! Job well done!
AWWW...great post Laura and it touched home. Sometimes I cannot even believe I, we made it through those first months and the first year. It was such a hard place to "be".
Great post. I was tearing up because it reminded me so much of my little girl.
What a great article. Though, I will tell you it was hard to read. We Re coming up on the one year anniversary for Joshua's dx, and all of those memories come back. It was a horrible week in the hospital, and it has been a hard year, but at least we still have him. I am thankful for that everyday! Great article.
Very nice job, Laura!!!! Weeeeeeeeee! What fun to be published elsewhere.
And, love the new look for your space, here. The photo of the kiddos is so sweet.
Bravo...and again cried, every time I hear the dx stories of our kiddos it makes me cry. I can't wait for the day when dx stories stop, no more d.
*sniff* GREAT post, Laura!
Awesome post! Glad I finally got to talk to you yesterday! You have inspired me to start blogging about our experience. I even grabbed your button for my page;) look forward to getting more advice from you. Being a new D mom is so scary!
