I Have Kids?

There’s something new that’s happened in my home and I’m not sure how I feel about it. The boys are often outside now, playing with the neighbour kids.  There’s so many of them, they all have bikes now.  It’s like a little mini bike gang of adorable little boys.  They play SO terribly hard for… Continue reading I Have Kids?

He Felt Bad!

You know, not every day does a mother celebrate her child feeling bad.  In the world of autism we definitely celebrate odd things.  Today Silas broke my heart, made me feel overwhelmingly loved and made me cheer all at once. Silas and I spent the afternoon going store to store trying to get donations for… Continue reading He Felt Bad!

Freakin Out

Anything for this little darling...all the stress in the world.

So, I didn’t sleep well last night….I couldn’t fall back asleep this morning.  Why?  Well…I realized last night that Silas’ fundraiser I am doing is in a week. I’m freakin out. But it’ll be okay. We are doing an 80’s tight and bright.  My husband’s band is playing, there will be spandex and Aquanet and… Continue reading Freakin Out

Letting the Good be Good

I recently heard a quote by someone I had never heard of.  Voltaire.  He (I thought he was a she…thanks wikipedia) inspired me so I thought I’d get to know him a bit more. He was a french enlightenment writer, he looks rather nice in this portrait.  This is him at 24, no idea why… Continue reading Letting the Good be Good

Lets Play!

Ugh, I don’t feel like I can even see straight today.  Trying to drink lots of water, eat healthy and say no to that last glass of Sonoma Zin that I have on my counter. I hate brain fog. I took Silas to the doctor today and then after talking about my son he did… Continue reading Lets Play!

Psychedelic Thursday!

We have some sad sad people in our home today.  Brent had his wisdom teeth taken out on Tuesday and he is NOT a happy camper.  He’s gone back to sleep right now, poor fella. Isaac is fast asleep on the couch with his eyes wide open.  Creep.  He just went on a bit of… Continue reading Psychedelic Thursday!

So now we’re here.  Summer vacation.  It’s raining out and I’m semi dreading it.  At the end… Continue reading Hello Summer Vacation!

Progressing Through Autism: The Dentist

What a cool kiddo!!

I was so proud of my boys today.  It sure seems like I am saying that a lot lately. They did such a good job getting their teeth cleaned at the dentist! Rewind two years ago. I was taking Silas and Isaac to the dentist for the second time.  Really, all the dentist did was… Continue reading Progressing Through Autism: The Dentist

What Do You Let Your Kids Watch On TV?

Skunk in the barnyard peeyeewww, somebody farted…it’s YOU This is what I hear my kids and all the neighbourhood kids singing at the very very very top of their lungs.  I choose to ignore it.

Letting Go

  My boys have been all about bikes lately.  Bike bike bike bike bike, it’s what they would do all day if they could.
