Strange Happenings
There have been stttrrrrannnggeee happenings in my house as of late. What started of with me getting a bout of OCD when it came to cleanliness (which has now found some balance) has turned into a lot more. Of course I’ve been exercising and eating well despite the fact that losing one pound takes a… Continue reading Strange Happenings
This is How I Procrastinate From Folding Laundry!
Aside from the nauseating Jack Johnson music, that totally made me want a baby hummingbird. It almost made me LIKE the Jack Johnson hit, almost. Usually his music more just makes me wanna cut myself. Maybe it’s because I listened to the album on loop for hours at a time playing Puzzle Pirates whilst pregnant… Continue reading This is How I Procrastinate From Folding Laundry!
Getting to School in One Piece
Wow. I had to pull out all my super mommy stops today to get Silas to school. He’s been saying he doesn’t want to go and now it’s getting into melt down mode. I don’t blame him. He’s with a new teacher and some new kids. Now he has to sit at a desk and… Continue reading Getting to School in One Piece
Progressing Through Autism: The Dentist
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
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. Isaac usually goes to the neighbours house and grabs their two wheeler (with training wheels). We only have one helmet and he would use theirs and Silas would cruise around on… Continue reading Letting Go

Everyone is outside right now, enjoying the sun (finally!) on the first day of summer. I am inside with a pile of snot-rags beside me. This. sucks.

Brain Health
If you didn’t see yesterday’s post you probably should. Because it’s a cute little song that Silas and Brent recorded together and it’ll make you smile. It’s only a minute long.

The Ball is Rolling
So I got a call from child development this morning. At first it was disheartening, this lady was really confusing. She had me thinking that Silas was in some sort of limbo stage. Her program only deals with children enrolled in pre-school or school and Infant and Child development only deals with Children up to… Continue reading The Ball is Rolling

Ikey is saying new words almost daily!! Yesterday he said “squish” and “cheers”. This morning he said “fish”. So now he can say: Mama (which sounds like mumum), Dada (which he yelled out when Brent opened the door yesterday), row row row, up, this and that (depending if he wants this or that 🙂 ).… Continue reading New Words and GARDEN PHOTOS!!

Wow, I came on here and then I got distracted by other web sites. Since I’m getting close to weaning Ikey I’m in the market for a good cleanse. I’m pretty much decided on the Master Cleanse because it’s cheap and I like the idea of fasting for many reasons. I think that fasting helps… Continue reading Bloggy Cleanse Fest Extravaganza
