Day 220 – The Wonderful World of Adult Services
I have to be honest, I haven’t posted much lately because I haven’t had a whole lot of positive stuff to post about. I really struggle with posting the negative stuff because it makes for some awful reading material. I am an optimist and naturally, what I enjoy putting out there is positive stuff.... Read More
Day 219 – Awareness Months
I was in the middle of posting on Facebook when I noticed how long my post was going to be and thought perhaps I needed to get this done on my blog which has been neglected this year. What better time to add a new post then on Autism Awareness Month! My post was to... Read More

Day 215 – Christmas

Day 212 – “Crack” Crackers
These little gems are what we like to call in our house “Crack” Crackers. These are kept in a secret location in our house and not given as a snack but rather as a bribe, ahem, I mean reward. Our boys love these crackers! They would eat these things all day, every day if given... Read More
Day 211 – Love Needs No Words
I recently commissioned a friend who started crafting to make one of her pallet wall art pieces for me. The caption I requested was “Love needs no words” The exchange of Love does not require words, it is pretty evident in our family with two non-verbal teen boys who are loved so very dearly and...

Day 210 – Awareness
Recently there has been a trend in Facebook Challenges. In the dead of winter we began to see men (mostly young) posting video of themselves running around in the snow in shorts or underwear and then taking a swig of a cold drink and then nominating another 3 friends to do the same within 24...
