If you have read some of my other posts, you are familiar with the fact that several of my children have Autism. When we first started receiving therapy for our oldest son, I had a lot to learn. Bless the people who worked with us, little did I know that they would turn into someContinue reading “Toddler Sensory Play”

New Year, New You?
So we’ve made it to a New Year, and while we all thought 2020 was a bit crazy, I’m beginning to wonder what 2021 will bring after seeing these first few weeks unfold.
Lost time
Am I the only other person who absolutely loves the Holidays but every year finds myself asking, “Where did the time go?”
I’m a Barbie girl
When you have five kids in a small house, you realize just how important your years of playing Tetris as a child were.

Fancy Nancy
Our fancy Everleigh turned 5 this past week. That seems impossible. It seems like just yesterday she was born. Is it just me or does time fly once you have kids? She’s our fourth kid, and the absolute most stubborn but has a heart of gold.
For the love of all that smells good!
