Our Mission
To help improve the lives of individuals and families affected by developmental disabilities.
UNFINISH3D PIECES wants to change how people view Autism by spreading awareness and understanding. We want families who are comfortable to share their own personal story with others. By sharing the journey, we believe we can better give a sense of understanding of what families go through, as well as what the individual living with Autism go through on a daily basis. Every story is so different and unique, and because Autism is a spectrum disorder, this will help others understand the truth in the statement, “if you meet one person with Autism, you meet one person with Autism.”
If sharing is not something you are comfortable with, then we understand the need for privacy and would be willing to help navigate in a more private manner. This is your story and your own journey and it’s up to you what you do with it. We just want to be here to help in whatever way that may be.
Our main goal is to help individuals and families by giving back and providing support. We don’t just want to be a one time resource, we want to be there along the ride as we move forward.

Our Story
By 18 months, I started noticing signs of autism in Peyton. Major red flags that were much more obvious than we had ever witnessed with Brody. Peyton had many sensory needs. He liked to tap a small, toy carrot on hard surfaces and would do it fast and quick.

Sunday we had the privilege of touring the Sensory room in Kansas City at Arrowhead Stadium.![]()
This room is designed as a safe space for individuals with special needs to decompress and get a break if needed. ![]()
These environments are so important and crucial to individuals attending concerts, games, or any events taking place in the stadium. ![]()

Shout out to the The Kansas City Chiefs for making GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium inclusive. ![]()

Tough times don’t last, tough people do.
Life has a funny way of catching you off guard when you least expect it. This saying is so cliche and to be completely honest cliche sayings annoy me. I think they are cheesy and unoriginal and I am generally someone that can formulate my feelings into words fairly well. Typically when I am going through something, I go to my computer and just write. I express it best through words and there is something so ridiculously theraputic about this process for me. Last week was mentally and emotionally challenging to put it lightly. And the words, well, they just

Today was a hard day…
Every so often in life, you meet someone that changes you. Someone that comes along when you least expect it, enters in an untraditional way and makes you realize how much better your life is because of their presence alone. You think back about how lonely you were before this person, how you didn’t even know that you needed a friend like this and you just thank God repeatedly for placing them along your journey. It’s an effortless friendship that is so natural that it almost seems too good to be true. Let me introduce you to my best friend,

What you don’t hear…that you should.
I find myself so many times scrolling through facebook and emails reading through the rawest and real stories of how hard it is to parent a child with special needs. The isolation, the public outings and stares their child receives while having a meltdown, the family members that give unsolicited advice, the strain on a relationship and just all the stressors that come from navigating through this world of unknowns. And while those blogs are extremely powerful, helpful, insightful and give so many parents a sense of belonging, they often times bring me down and make me sad rather than

Track Record.
Yesterday was another rough day in terms of mental and physical exhaustion for our family. To those of you who have followed our story, you know that we have 3 boys diagnosed with Autism. Through their diagnosis we found through genetic testing that the boys have a rare and serious heart condition called Long QT Syndrome. So with that being said, it’s been a long and exhausting road to figure out how to manage this condition and all the scary realities that accompany this. Yesterday’s appointment was long and for the twins, pretty miserable for anyone who tried to do

Flood gates…the ugly kind.
This weekend Brett and I went to hang out with friends for a kid free, stress free day. We were both looking forward to it and excited to spend time with some of our favorite people we don’t get to see very often. A couple weeks after school got out in May, I had a couple of bad days that turned into weeks and when I finally realized the funk I was in, it was too far gone. You see thats what anxiety does, you get a handle on things and because life is the way it is, unexpected things
