That linky will run all week as well, so don’t panic if your Monday is already full of mojo. This weeks topic: Tell us about your first… read more »

Food Nasties

If you think the kitchen cleanliness is your biggest worry when eating out, think again. While researching allergen information on local restaurants to maybe expand where we can eat with our 5yo’s food allergies, and to make traveling easier, I found a wealth of ick. It’s no wonder I’ve been having GI issues after eating out. Seemingly… read more »

KP Duty – Bacon Ranch Wings

wings

I made a lot of food for the boys while they were watching the Super Bowl and pre-game shows. I made cheese sticks, pizza rolls, pierogies, taco dip, and a favorite that we’ve missed since we moved – bacon ranch wings. This recipe is ridiculously easy. First I was so happy to find some nice… read more »

Why Be On The Armed Forces Committee If You Won’t Help?

It’s no secret that I’ve been helping support the Caring for Military Kids with Autism Act H.R. 2288. I mean, why wouldn’t I? I’ve got two boys on the spectrum.

My fibromyalgia is flaring, and quite frankly, kicking my ass. I have a migraine that wants to manifest, but sits in my right temple and my tense… read more »

School Transitions

We have both boys transitioning this year. Have I mentioned that? I probably have. It’s one of the things that’s been preoccupying my mind these days. Since our oldest wasn’t diagnosed until he was 8 1/2, these are firsts all around. We have the older child transitioning to middle school. Having a child in middle… read more »

And The Band Plays On…

Yesterday we had the honor of attending the Congressional briefing on Caring for Military Kids with Autism Act, HR 2288. I have so many people to thank before I start for making the day a success for our family. The accessibility office at the Capitol Visitor Center for working with us, and the Capitol Police… read more »

Knowledge is Power – IEPs

I found this great idea while Twitter and Facebook surfing waiting for the kids to get home from school. An IEP Meme. A way for those of us who have been through the process to share. I also plan on reading posts written by others to gain ideas as both of my boys trasition into… read more »
