Summer is my favorite season, but it’s not without its share of annoyances. Humidity, summer sickness, and bugs are definitely at the top of that list. Luckily, your favorite essential oils can help with all your summer stresses.
love avocados! They are delicious, buttery, filling, and so good for you. These awesome avocado recipes from Delicious Living are perfect for summer and best of all, they are Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, Dairy-Free, Paleo, and Vegan!
So much of my mom job is hindered by autism. How can I alleviate fears, instill confidence, comfort worries if I don’t know what they are?
I had read that children on the Autism spectrum often suffer from medical issues and have nutritional deficiencies and gut inflammation. But I had always brushed it off because my son never physically showed any signs of medical issues. I decided to look into this some more.
Autism. I used to not be able to say this word out loud without my heart sinking just a little. It made me sad (still does sometimes) and angry (still does sometimes). You see I have a son with autism.
Autism often comes with a laundry list of medical issues that interfere with development and weigh our kids down. One day could be perfect with the next day a complete disaster. I root for the good days, but we’ve had our fair share of disasters, like this day from a few years ago:
Someone I know who recently had a baby posted on social media about how overwhelmed she is. She said that she was in “Survival Mode.” She’s totally right, but I had to laugh a little. Because we autism parents are constantly in Survival Mode. But Autism Survival Mode is forever.
This was the moment I lost it. We have been fighting now for almost five years – sacrificing everything (literally) in order to help my daughter recover and heal. My daughter’s health has done a 360! I started crying happy tears, thinking about how far she had come…
My autism journey has changed the way I live and care for my family. I am passionate about nontoxic products, natural remedies, grain-free nutrition, essential oils, and healing the symptoms known as autism. This is a space for anyone aspiring toward cleaner, healthier living.
