While it can be hard to let old traditions go, it is also exciting to experience new ones that are …
If you are from the Philadelphia area, you know that it would not be summer without a trip to the Jersey Shore. From Sandy Hook to Cape May, there is a beach town with a vibe for everyone.

Families in the Bucks County, PA area - check out @lucentreflections for your family photos!
Lucy was so engaged with my children, and gave my son time to warm up to her and the idea of photos. She was so flexible with our ever changing schedule, and even came to our house where my son was more comfortable.
She is a blessing to the neurodivergent population and giving space and time so that every family member feels comfortable!
Thanks for the beautiful photos, Lucy ❤️

Come join Bucks County Neurodivergent Family Connects - a FREE monthly support group for parents and caregivers of neurodivergent children.
My dear friend @bethiesue23 and I have found so much strength with fellow caregivers and hope to meet more of you as our group continues to expand.
