First, no one paid me to write this. I’m doing this because we had an awesome time and I want to share for my local readers. I can’t reiterate enough how much this was AWSOME (overall)! Before we even got there, we got our parking pass for the day, a letter with detailed instructions, and… read more »
Over Christmas break we also did a craft. We made candy necklaces. I found some kits at Michael’s that didn’t contain red dye, so I got them for something for the kids to do. It killed thirty minutes, and actually calmed them down. The boys had spent the morning running around playing “Who Can Drive… read more »
I know it’s late, but over Christmas break, we loaded up the kids and took them to see the Hershey Sweet Lights. Aaron absolutely loved them this year. It was 45 minutes of his exclaiming over every single display. It was cute for the first 20 minutes, but honestly, the “Mom, mom, mom…..” got old… read more »
This was the first year we got visible cues from Zach that he enjoyed his gifts. The smile in that picture above – HUGE. Best.Christmas.EVER. Thanks Santa (and teachers, ABA therapist, etc.)
Christmas this year was pretty awesome. Our younger child has always been fairly free with his emotions. It may not always be the appropriate emotion, but he lays it all out there.

I love the ornaments from my grandma’s tree too much to see them smashed on the floor. -Spent most of the month catching up on doctor appointments and Aaron had a 2nd endoscopy. Merry Christmas, son…. read more »

I read a post on Telling Dad where he mentioned snowball cookies the other day, and it just brought back a flood of Christmas memories. I LOVE those cookies. I’ve been looking for YEARS to try and find a recipe for them. No one in my family made them, but we always had some given… read more »
Yesterday I went to my local UPS Store to have my Milspouse Secret Santa gift shipped to its recipient. I have to say, this was the easiest shipping experience I’ve ever had, and as a milspouse, I’ve shipped A LOT of packages over the years. It was awesome! All I did was walk in with… read more »
