I started my Instagram page when I was pregnant with my third and I had at that point recently kind of left my job or I was like preparing to leave my job because I had one, my oldest child was in treatment for leukemia at the time.

Caitlin MurrayGUEST
I had a middle child toddler and I was pregnant and Between like the treatment and my third child coming along, it was just time for me to like, I was really still only working part time after my son had been diagnosed.

Caitlin MurrayGUEST
I should sort of start there and say in 2016, my oldest was diagnosed with leukemia.

Caitlin MurrayGUEST
And as part of like that whole experience of handling what he was going through, what I was going through, all of as part of his treat, I was writing these email updates to family and friends.

Caitlin MurrayGUEST
And it was just this sort of really therapeutic thing for me to write about what was going on at that time and describe that.
