They say that a messy desk is a sign of genius. Sometimes I question that and other times I just run with it. My desk, of course, is the hubspace of my “home office” corner. I don’t have a dedicated room, yet, but I do have space that I need to make the most of. And because of that, I have piles of papers scattered around. Now, while I may know what’s in those stacks? It’s kind of unsightly. But, I never know when I need one of those papers. If this sounds like you, fear not. We can tame paper clutter together and take back our spaces. Or, at the very least, find a more manageable system that still works for us. Trust me…

I’m always looking for new sensory friendly activities for my autistic daughter. And sensory friendly activities for myself, for that matter. I’ve probably gone into it before, but if you don’t know? I have an aversion myself to some sensory activities. My five year old loves to play with slime. But, my autistic daughter and I? Not so much. Still, I wanted to find some easier sensory friendly activities that we could all enjoy. Even if my autistic daughter may require other tools so we don’t have to be hands-on with the slime. To go along with the upcoming fall season (and because NY is absolutely gorgeous at this time of the year), we’re trying out this fall leaves slime for our sensory play. How…

The Different Signs of Autism in Toddler Boys vs. Toddler Girls

Many young children are not diagnosed with autism until they’re in the toddler stage. It really depends on what you’re looking for with the initial signs of autism and if you’re mindful of the development. I’m not suggesting that all children should be diagnosed, of course. But parents should at least know what to look for. Especially because if you can catch the signs early, you can start therapy early. Early Intervention services were a blessing for us. Sometimes it may also be difficult to discern between a stubborn toddler and an autistic toddler. After all, when your toddler is in the midst of an epic temper tantrum, we really aren’t going to stop and think- could this be a sign of autism? With an…

Any homeowner will know and understand the importance of home improvements, and how easy it can be to let them get out of control. Before you know it you can end up with a list as long as your arm and feeling lost about how to tackle the mammoth task.

Photo by Patrick Perkins on Unsplash The best thing you can do if you’ve let it get out of control is to deal with your workload as quickly as you can and try to avoid adding to it before it’s complete. Some things are unavoidably added to the list such as leaking taps or the…
