My oldest child was born 3 months premature. It was expected that he could have some sort of developmental delay. It was expected that he could develop some sort of developmental disability. It was expected that he could always be behind his peers developmentally and academically. And maybe it should have been expected that he would have additional complications. It was the unexpected learning disability though that would ultimately define his IEP goals. Maybe if we had looked for the early signs of a learning disability supports could have been put in place earlier. V was born 3 months premature at 24 weeks gestation and was given a 50/50 chance of surviving the night. He was in the NICU for almost 4 months. He had…

It’s happening again. You can feel your stress levels rising as your toddler clings to your leg, constantly repeating: mommy, mommy, mommy. No amount of counting to 4 will help you in this moment as you desperately try to recall the mantras of positive parenting. Your stress levels only increase as you eye the unwashed dishes in the sink or the toys strewn across the floor. Toys that you just finished picking up before your toddler decided that they were made of Velcro. And regardless of what society says, a glass of wine or a shot of tequila seems like a great idea. Even if it is early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Because you know that there’s still time before your…

Once summer is here, one of the last thing that I want to do is spend time preparing lunch. Most days, I’m content to just heat up leftovers and be on my way. Other days, a simple picnic lunch might fit the bill. But even that involves some prep, you know? I love finding quick and easy lunch solutions that won’t consume a lot of my time but still keep me going for the rest of the day. Known for their Frozen Breaded Eggplant Cutlets, Dominex Natural Foods is now offering one-skillet meal solutions. I’m a huge fan of Eggplant Parmesan but not a huge fan of how time consuming it can be. The frozen breaded eggplant cutlets seem like they would be a huge…

Autism is a topic that we do talk about regularly here on Kori at Home as it’s a major part of our daily life. Because of that, when the A to Z challenge came up in April of 2015, I decided to join in with the topic of autism. It felt like a good fit since April also happens to be Autism Awareness Month, and so the series: Autism A to Z was born. While I was writing this series, I also realized that there were so many other things I wanted to cover with some letters. That’s why, I’ll also have additions to this page. A – 10 Myths About Autism B – B is for Behavior C – C is for Comorbitidy D…

While it may be so easy and simple to just hand your toddler an iPad or Kindle, keeping them busy and occupied doesn’t always have to involve a screen. There’s nothing wrong with some screen time, just be sure that it’s in moderation. But how then, do you keep them occupied? Well, aside from some good old fashioned play time indoors, there are plenty of ways to keep your toddler busy. Some things are hands on, and why not? I have just as much fun coloring or playing with playdough as my toddler does. Other things you may need to do with your toddler and that’s okay too. They’re only young once and sometimes we might take for granted the opportunities that we have to…
