World Sight Day 2021: Love Your Eyes

If you’ve been following along, our daughter was diagnosed with Optic Nerve Hypoplasia – along with esotropia, hyperopia (farsightedness) and strabismus – at the age of 5 months. She is now 5 years old and has had 2 eye alignment surgeries. I shared our diagnosis story last year and since publishing, have heard from many people sharing similar stories.

I don’t have the chance to get to Starbucks a whole lot, which is a good thing too because it’s so expensive, so I’ve decided to enjoy my signature drink in the comforts of my own home! For today’s “What’s Trending” post – I’m recreating Starbucks vanilla sweet cream cold foam at home!
