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 [...]

My boys are really into these Silly Bandz. Even my 3yo. They even managed to find a package of Army shapes. Here, Aaron is showing off his pirate shapes, and the three humvees Zach gave him.
After Zach got his allergy shots today, I took the kids to McDonald’s to grab dinner. Not high on the nutritional priorities, but it’s hot, McD’s is fast, and once in awhile it won’t kill anyone. So I go through the drive thru and order. Then I pay. Then I get to the window where [...]
I found a new product at the grocery store that we all love. No, this is not a compensated review. I’m sharing what I found because I know how hard it is to balance what we want nutritionally for our kids with their want for the junk foods they see everywhere. Juicy Juice has sparkling [...]
