Another season of youth baseball has come and gone, and my 10-year-old is lost without it. For whatever reason something clicked within him this year, and his like and interest in baseball over the past two years developed into a deep love of the sport. I never had to fight with him to go to…

Life on the Spectrum: I Suspected He had Autism for a Long Time #autism #autismawarenessmonth
From the moment I felt my son move inside me for the first time, I knew life would be different with him in it. Not just because he was my second child and life would become busier with another kid to raise, but I had a feeling my world was going to change in ways I…
I forgot the bacon in the oven
So, I often wonder how much I should share about myself on here. Do I want everyone to think I’ve got my shit together. Or, do I want everyone to know how much of a hot mess I am? My BFF convinced me that hot mess is the way to go. Thanks, chickie! Love you lots! Today,…
Life on the Spectrum – Little Man has a 504 now #autism #504 #specialeducation
In a previous post, I mentioned that we have been trying to get my son a 504 at his school. It has been a long, drawn out process that I have cried many tears over and sometimes even left me questioning whether or not I was doing right by my child. As his mom, all…

If you’re a regular reader of this site, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve been mostly MIA for quite some time now. To be honest, I think I needed a long break from posting to focus on my personal life, including my own health, as well as focus on my son, who faced, and is still…
How to choose the right vehicle for a large family
*sponsored post* When my husband and I got together, we each brought two kids into the relationship. It’s been five years since then and our kids have grown…a lot. We now have a 16-year-old, 15-year-old (16 in two months!), a 14-year-old and a 10-year-old. Every car ride with these four usually results in some sort…

Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor, and I have no medical background, so before embarking on any diet, you should speak with your primary care physician to see if this diet will work for you.
