We all know that toddlers are certainly capable of making messes and sometimes of epic proportions. I’m sure you’re familiar with the term “toddler tornado” and my Squeaker is no exception. Sometimes, it seems, that she’ll wait until I’m done picking up her toys before she follows my path to recreate the mess. Is this intentional? Perhaps. I’d like to give her the benefit of the doubt.

All opinions are mine alone. #CollectiveBias #ShareHarvestSnaps When it comes to finding tasty snacks for my autistic daughter, our choices tend to be somewhat limited. She has her definite preferences and if those things should ever disappear? It can be quite a guessing game to find a replacement. We also like to have a snack for her that can be consumed for lunch, afterschool, or dinner. So, ideally, it’s something healthy. But just where in the world do we find a snack that fits all of that? The answer to that is easier than you think. My autistic daughter has been a long-time fan of these Harvest Snaps. I suppose that shouldn’t surprise…
