Hey there!

I’m Kim Britton.

I’m a mom to Logan - a hilarious, determined little boy with Down syndrome. This space is a reflection of our journey, our community, and the fierce love that keeps us moving forward.

I’m a stay at home mama and the creative behind this brand. My days are filled with therapy appointments, playgrounds, sensory regulation, household chores, errands, overstimulation and moments of pure magic. I created The Good and The Hard as a place to document our story, process our experiences, and connect with other parents walking a similar path.

What this site is about:

  • Sharing honest, heartfelt stories about the highs and lows of parenting a child with a disability

  • Highlighting tools, resources, and reflections to support others

  • Showcasing products from my Etsy shop that advocate, affirm and celebrate disability parenting

  • Creating space for community and (eventually) guest voices
