It’s SO the Rain
We’ve been having these wonderful snowy days here lately, SO unusual. IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY!!! Of course I take my kids outside…of course I have spunk. It’s the blasted rain that ruins my life. Can I move yet?
Singin Jazz
doot skeetle deet deet doot. Betcha didn’t know that I have a love for singing jazz. I love it because you can be free and creative when singing a jazz song. I love it because it’s a challenge to sing and I need to use all that training I have. Jazz makes me wiggle, it… Continue reading Singin Jazz
Life Skills
My sister lead me to this really interesting quote that I really do like. From Tumbling Over The Edge: A Rant For Children’s Play by Bev Bos and Jenny Chapman. “Intellectual development and the skills of reading, writing and arithmetic are areas,which cause parents and politicians to fret and fume over the apparent regression of… Continue reading Life Skills
Let It Snow
The time it took to dress and undress them was much longer than the time it took to play….
Squeaky Wheel, That’s Me!
I’m a bit of a weirdo with phones. I don’t like them very much. I don’t like calling strangers. I don’t really call my friends. I haven’t even really called family much lately either…I still love you guys. So, the other day when my mom said I need to start making more phone calls and… Continue reading Squeaky Wheel, That’s Me!
Finger Painting!!
Silas has always had a hard time with drawing. He doesn’t know how to grasp the writing utensil firmly and it always flops around in his hands. It also just stresses him out a lot and he’d just rather someone else draw him letters, shapes and numbers. The other day I noticed that he would… Continue reading Finger Painting!!
The BEST Snuggle
OOOO I just had the best morning!!! The planets aligned or something because oh my, the best snuggle ever. Silas wanted out of his room so I snatched him up and brought him to be bed for a quick snuggle. Isaac was just starting to whine so I thought it would be quick but he… Continue reading The BEST Snuggle
Just One of Those Days….
Silas is in a phase again…the kicking, screaming, head-butting, hitting kinda phase. After I got him in his nap finally I just burst into tears. Almost a good hour of fighting with him, restraining him and yes, losing my patience with him. How many times can a person calmly tell someone who’s hurting them to… Continue reading Just One of Those Days….

We’re getting some pretty hard evidence that Silas is more greatly effected by the omega supplemtents he is recieving than the GFCF diet. I’m forgetful and I’ll often forget his supplements for a few days. Suddenly the kid is cranky, his language is worse, he screams a lot and I think…OOOPS. Forgot those supplements again. … Continue reading Untitled
Music Music Music
I’ve really been getting back into this music thing again. It feels so good. As I’ve been trying to tap into some online musical communities I’ve also been really encouraged by people that really enjoy my music. For the first time in my life I feel like I’m actually good at this. I’m so encouraged.… Continue reading Music Music Music
Let the Sun Shine In
So how come today it’s only 11:20 am and I’ve accomplished more than I have all week? Cuz it was sunny this morning. Sun gives me spunk. I love sunshine. It’s my mojo. It’s crazy how simple it is that seeing rays of sunshine coming through my blinds makes my whole day different but it… Continue reading Let the Sun Shine In
Lies??
It’s weird what’s just ingrained in human nature. I suppose if you don’t know any better, telling your mommy “did you poop? Should we change your bum quick?” (the echolalia makes him repeat things to me how I’ve said them to him) when you really haven’t, seems like a great idea to get attention. He’s… Continue reading Lies??
Are They 13 Already?
I thought they wouldn’t eat me out of house and home until they were teenagers…not NOW! For example, a typical breakfast for Silas is 3 eggs, a banana, an apple, some crackers, a rice cake, sometimes another banana, a kiwi and then I say STOP SILAS because it’s almost lunch time. Then Isaac downs over… Continue reading Are They 13 Already?
Rain Rain Go Away
Ugh, the dreaded winter time here in the Lower Mainland…rain rain rain. I can’t complain about the fall we’ve had, it was mostly beautiful. I was pretty proud of myself and how much I got the kids out this summer, even if it was just in my yard some days, they got outside. Now it’s… Continue reading Rain Rain Go Away
