WonderfullyMeBooks.com April 2018, I purchased A Beautiful Girl at a little local bookstore. Our girls loved the book! They enjoyed looking at pictures of cute little girls who each have different colors of hair, eyes, skin, as well as different personalities. My girls would say, “I am this girl!” and “you’re that girl,” and “this …
Several people asked if I plan to make and sell face masks. The answer is no, sorry. There are lots of mamas who have lost their jobs, and kids who are home from school, and they are stepping into entrepreneurship and launching their own businesses making and selling face masks.

I thought I’d share some of our favorite books about hearing aids, some which include facial abnormalities as well. And by “favorite” I mean, these are the books we own and have read.

One of the reasons we choose the Oticon Ponto hearing aid, is it has less issues with feedback squeals. But my daughter’s Ponto still did squeal a bit. Friends shared videos of their children wearing a hat over their BAHS and no squealing. But my daughter’s Ponto’s squealed. Other families said their Ponto’s squeal more …
We had such a wonderful time this past weekend at Hands & Voices Family Camp.

When my second daughter was diagnosed with hearing loss, I had no idea the crazy adventure ahead of us. All I knew was, I had made lots of baby headbands for both of my girls, and I was happy that my little Baldilocks would be wearing headbands always. Keep in mind, my husband has Treacher …
