I’ve been meaning to try this one survey on my kids, I know they wouldn’t answer the questions but I thought it would be funny. Anyway, I attempted it and it didn’t work out so well. I thought I’d show you guys the video of us anyway just because it’s kinda funny. I’m trying to… Continue reading Us in Motion

Autistic Poops….seriously.
Something interesting has caught my attention. Both of my boys came down with a fever and the run last week. The runs have continued into this week. Oh boy oh boy am I ever tired of the runs. Nothing like waking up to poo all over the place…and placing half awake autistic boy into a… Continue reading Autistic Poops….seriously.

Silas?
Autism is weird. Is autism who Silas is or is autism something that has caged him? Who is Silas without autism? Is Silas autistic or is he ridden with a disease called autism? I dunno which way to look at it. The other morning my sparkly darling of a son was being his adorable self. … Continue reading Silas?
Gymnastics and Heating Pads.
Thanks for the wonderful morning Grandma and Grandpa. I’ve decided to use some of the money they’ve donated to Silas for some drop in gymnastics time. It’s fairly inexpensive and SOOOO good for the kids motor skills and for Silas to build up those core muscles. Kids with autism have been known to have poor… Continue reading Gymnastics and Heating Pads.
Healthy Cookies!!?
Ages ago I heard this whisper of a roomer of these supposed amazing banana cookies somewhere on allrecipes.com. The recipe apparently consisted of just banana, oats, oil and vanilla. It sounded too good to be true, a waste of time…banana things are yicky. I put the thought aside and carried on with life without these… Continue reading Healthy Cookies!!?
An Angel?
Sometimes I wonder if little Isaac came from an extra special place with an extra special mission for our family. I know it sounds crazy, but sometimes I get pretty crazy 🙂 Ikey wasn’t planned. Too much info or not, he’s a product of the very first time my husband and I were negligent about… Continue reading An Angel?
The Best Weekend
I’ve been a horrible horrible naughty naughty blogger this week. I know I know…shhhhhhhh…it’s ok.

The Autism Divide
There seems to be this crazy division between autism parents. Two extremes. There’s one side that’s the Jenny McCarthy following that’s all about curing autism and then there’s the opposite side with parents who think she’s full of BS. I dunno what to think. I’m going to try EVERYTHING I can, but I’m not putting… Continue reading The Autism Divide
Orange Peels and ABA Therapy
Last night at supper time Isaac asked me to blow his nose, then cried when I did. So I did the obvious thing and look up there to see what he’s shoved inside this time. He always does this. I plugged the opposite nostril and had him blow but it didn’t come out this time… Continue reading Orange Peels and ABA Therapy
KFC Oprah?? I don’t get it.
Ahhh naptime again. A hush has settled over the house and I am once again happy to be alone and without children. You know, I have it kinda easy. The kids are usually out of their rooms between 8 and 9 and then I really just have to make it to two before I’m home… Continue reading KFC Oprah?? I don’t get it.
Teaching Sexuality
This is a topic Leanne and I were discussing this weekend. How to teach our kids a healthy view of sexuality. I’m a firm believer in having sexuality celebrated in our home. I’m not too sure how I will do it but I know I want it to be that way. I do not want… Continue reading Teaching Sexuality

It feels like people… Continue reading The Savior Has Come!!
YAY Gardening!!
I’ve been kinda dreading the gardening that must ensue this summer. I wasn’t sure if I was up for it but today I got out and tidied up my yard, dealt with my neglected compost…not that I haven’t been composting!! Silas played with all the worms I found and Isaac poured sand all over the… Continue reading YAY Gardening!!
