Last week, my boy was registered at soccer camp - the very same one he's gone to for the last two summers. At the door he turned to me and said: Can I walk there by myself? He actually winced, thinking I'd say no.I knew this day was coming. He is eight. I surprised him and myslef by … [Read more...]
On Eye-rolling, Sass, and Why Manners Matter.
My kids have asked me in the past why manners matter, and why it's important to be polite, and my answer is always along the lines of, "because it shows respect for the people around you, and it demonstrates to others what kind of treatment you expect in return." Do unto others... really, that's … [Read more...]
New cure for Autism – BLEACH!
As a mom to two children who live life to the fullest despite the challenges they face due to Autism I must say I have heard and read about many supposed things that will prevent, help, and even cure Autism.

It was brought to our attention that out of the eight or so bikes we have spread throughout the backyard, shed, and garage, none of them fit Ryley.Last year's purchase of the pedal free bike was too small and the others were too big and none have … [Read more...]

Out then in, out then in, and with this comes the dirt because after years of playing in the backyard there really isn't any grass left. … [Read more...]
Lucky 13
Time flies when you're having fun.Thirteen years ago today we walked through those doors and down those steps to start our new life together.

“SHUT THE F&** UP!”
The other day my daughter came home from school and started in on me about a Drama camp she wants to go to this summer. I told her I wasn't sure if it was going to be affordable at this point and I would have to wait and see if we could manage it. She walked away grumbling a bit but … [Read more...]
