As usual, I’ve been neglecting this blog (honestly, do I even have a post that doesn’t start out that way?!). I know I need to check in with my 4 loyal readers, but I’m just not feeling inspired right now. Life keeps getting in the way. I’ve been overwhelmed with...

Last week was my wedding anniversary – lucky 13! So, I thought I would share my wedding story and say Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband. As usual, I’m a day (week) late and a dollar short – ha! Our wedding was full of insanity, which I guess...

If you read my newsletter, you know that in August we took our first family vacation. Now that school has started and hurricane Hermine has put a bit of a fall chill in the air, summer and our family vacation seem far behind. Hard to believe that just a few short...

I’ve really been neglecting this blog – things this month just seemed to get really chaotic with school ending, figuring out our summer schedule, nightmares at work, a weird reality show audition, and a recent death in the family. But then I was thinking,...

Christopher’s 9th birthday was this past weekend. If you regularly read this blog or you know me, you know that Christopher has severe regressive autism. While birthdays come with mixed emotions – including memories of babyhood and thoughts of how quickly time passes...

First off, I’m sorry that I’ve been MIA for a week or so. But, April really did me in and I needed a break. Looking back, I realize that this is the time of year that I am usually the most stressed. April is not only Autism Awareness Month – which...

The end of April! April is extremely busy, and sometimes depressing, for autism families. But this one was a little different. I was able to showcase some true-life autism stories from some awesome autism moms on this blog, and there were some new encouraging...
