As a military family these days, it’s hard not to know someone who was wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan, or someone who gave that ultimate sacrifice. We’re waging one of the longest wars in our nation’s history. It’s touched so many lives in so many ways, military and civilian. Dinner with Warriors is a cookbook [...]
I know I haven’t written much about having a child with Asperger’s lately, but that will be changing as we start Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy this week. We met with our therapist, and did they “Hey, this is who I am, and this is what I do,” visit. The boys LOVED him. This past [...]
With back to school shopping in full swing, parents are trying to fulfill the yearly supply list. I know that as a parent, even when crayons, colored pencils, and the like aren’t on the list, I still take advantage of the back to school sales and stock up for our household stash. This year, you [...]

Do your kids love to read? Do they love to read the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series? My nine year old son does. He loves the series so much that I broke my policy of buying paperbacks and got him the whole series in hardback. His paperbacks were so worn from being read over [...]
Aaron wakes around 7am, and immediately asks to go outside. Since I got the netbook, I indulge him, and take my tea, and he takes his tea and muffins, or breakfast du jour, and we eat, then I check e-mail and blog while he plays in the water table and sandbox. It’s been good for the days [...]
Now that we’re getting back into the swing of work and school for my husband and oldest son, I need to really start menu planning again. After a summer of cooking on the fly, my mind has been rebelling against the thought of organizing an actual weekly plan. As I sat and thought, I tried [...]
