Hey there, I’m Kim!
I’m mom to Logan — a hilarious, determined little boy with Down syndrome who has completely reshaped the way I see the world. Our life together is full of joy, challenges, therapy appointments, advocacy meetings, messy moments, and everyday magic that continues to stretch my heart and my understanding of what belonging really means.
I’m a stay-at-home mom, creative entrepreneur, and passionate advocate for inclusion. Most days are a blend of sensory adventures, school drop-offs and pickups, therapy sessions, errands, overstimulation, household chaos, and the quiet moments that remind me why this work matters so much.
This website is my home base — a central place where everything I create, share, and build lives together. Here, you’ll find:
My Substack newsletter (“The Good and The Hard”), where I write honestly about our experiences, inclusion, and what life looks like behind the scenes.
My Etsy shop, Kitton Design Studio, featuring inclusive designs, disability-positive apparel, and resources meant to spark conversations and build community.
Free resources and downloads, including coloring pages and tools families can use to teach children about Down syndrome, differences, empathy, and belonging.
Articles, links, and learning materials for parents, teachers, therapists, grandparents, and anyone who wants to better understand and support disabled children.
What’s working for us — practical ideas around sensory needs, school, communication, and navigating the world as a family raising a child with a disability.
What You’ll Find Here
My Mission
My mission is simple:
To make the world easier to navigate, and more welcoming, for Logan and every child like him.
And my hope is that by sharing our experiences, tools, and messy reality, you feel more equipped to support the kids in your own life.
My Creative Work
I also run an Etsy shop filled with designs inspired by our life — inclusive apparel, disability-positive graphics, profession-specific shirts for educators & therapists, and resources that celebrate differences with pride. Every piece is created with the hope that it sparks conversation, encourages advocacy, or simply makes someone feel seen.
A space for real connection
Whether you’re a classmate’s parent, an educator, a therapist, or someone who found your way here from the internet, my hope is that this space helps you feel informed, supported, and more confident in showing up for kids like Logan.
I’m truly so glad you’re here.
Let’s learn, grow, and make this world a more inclusive place — together.
