## Resource

Brittany is feeling all the emotions as Cruz is about to turn five—and she’s reflecting on how fast time flies. She looks back at his past birthday themes, shares the inspiration behind this year’s party, and opens up about what motherhood means to her. She also gives an inside look at Cruz’s sensory room and the items that have made a real difference in his development. Plus: a painful ziplining injury, a hilariously embarrassing shoe malfunction at dinner, and a little life update. Please support the show by checking out our sponsors!
