If you read my posts often, or follow me on facebook, you know that my son has sensory processing disorder. He can go weeks or months without issue and then something will throw him off track and he goes into a spell. We’ve been experiencing one of these spells that last two weeks and to [...]

Something funny happened this summer. I decided not to send my oldest son to preschool summer camp, because I thought it would be fun to be able to do whatever we wanted. It was probably one of the bigger mistakes I’ve made since becoming his mother. You see, my son is a bit on the [...]

My sister taught me two very important lessons about baking. 1. Always use real butter…not margarine. 2. Follow the recipe. Um, that whole following the recipe thing always trips me up. Not sure why, but I have such a hard time following directions. It’s this difficulty that caused me to fail at my first attempt [...]

Do you follow Money Saving Mom? She has an amazing DIY section on her site that has really inspired me. In fact, I came across this post about a year ago in which she challenged herself to try a home-made project every month. I thought it was a great idea, but at the time I [...]

As a mother of two boys, one thing that always irks me is that in the 21st century, Barbie can be a neurosurgeon, but Ken still can’t be a nurse. I see it every day. You better never tell a little girl she can’t do something because it’s for boys only. Her parents would be [...]

I’m a stay-at-home mom to my 4-year-old daughter and as such, I am always searching for ways to get out of the house and into the world. I would love to say that I take my daughter on fabulous hikes, informative museum trips and culture-packed jaunts to the big city on a [...]

The kids are heading back to school and I’m sure you’re thinking about what to pack for lunch. Let me stress that it’s really not difficult to pack a tasty and healthy lunch that your kids will eat. I’m one of the most unorganized and last minute gals around, but I’m still able to put [...]

Did you know that more babies are born in August than any other month, with September not far behind? That means many of us will be looking for a great gift for the new parents in our lives. It’s just a matter of what to buy. We could look at the registry…but have you ever [...]
