Are you ready to take on the day or could you use an extra hour or two to find your capability to function? I’ve never been a true morning person. Sure, I can get up early when I need to but the thought of sleeping in never seems to register with my body on the weekends. Still, I try to make the most of it and go about what I need to do to get myself and my kids ready for the day. And for me that means having…

As you know, I’m making the transition from being a stay at home mom to being a work at home mom. The transition hasn’t always been easy as I’m also trying to figure out what the base of my work will be. Sure, it may seem simple enough- brainstorm a list of ideas for working at home and then go from there. But that’s in theory and sometimes theory is a lot easier than putting everything into action. I’ve had many business ideas in the past, most of which never came to fruition. And that was all for lack of taking action. So if there’s anyone to blame for my non-business success? It’s me. So why is it different now? Why do I still feel…

An afterschool program may seem great in theory and for some kids, an afterschool program is just what they need. But do all children really need or benefit from afterschool programs?

As parents, we want to do what’s best for our children. This stretches across all aspects and areas of life but perhaps none quite as important as school. Whether our children attend a public or private school, or if they’re homeschooled; education matters. With the decision of where to send them, or to keep them at home, may also come the decision of whether or not to enroll them in an afterschool program. For Sweet B, at least for the time being, we’re developing an afterschool at home program to make connections between home and school. It’s loosely based on her IEP goals but also has plenty of flexibility for working on life skills. But is an afterschool program really necessary for all children? Let’s…

Does it feel like, no matter how accurate you think your family budget is, that you just don’t have enough? Do you feel like you’re constantly living paycheck to paycheck? I understand how you feel. Though we do manage just fine and make ends meet, there were times that I just had to wonder how we were going to get through the month. Of course, the priority was making sure that the kids had enough to eat and that we had other household essentials taken care of. It’s a stressful way of life but one that many of us are used to. But what can we do about it? Sure, we can make a budget and then hope that everything works itself out. We could…

Halloween is one of the more popular holidays, usually for children of all ages. One of the challenges that I’ve faced as a parent of an autistic child, is making Halloween more autism and sensory friendly. That includes accounting for things like trick-or-treat cards and being mindful of the candy that we hand out. Now that Squeaker is getting older, I also want to make Halloween more toddler friendly. Celebrating Halloween with toddlers brings a certain element of innocence to the mix. With a toddler, it may not be possible to go out and party like you normally would, and trick or treating can get tiresome for your toddler very quickly. Safety is always an issue with toddlers as they are very naive and can…

It’s time to put away all of the outdoor sports gear and get ready for the cold weather and plenty of time sitting inside cuddling by the fireplace. Getting your home clean and in tip-top shape before the cold really settles in will make you enjoy your…
