If you are a new parent to the world of autism spectrum disorder, let me be among the first to bid you welcome. This diagnosis is not an easy one to deal with at first but it will get better. It may not seem like it right now, but in time, you’ll start seeing some bright spots. If you need it, take a moment and read some of these encouraging quotes for autism moms. I’m not suggesting that you go out and celebrate your child’s newfound diagnosis, but for right now- take a deep breath, count to ten, have some coffee (with some Bailey’s if you need it), and relax.

I will start this off by saying that I am far from an extreme couponer. I just don’t have the patience to go through every coupon site, weekly ads, etc. But, I do like saving money so I’m willing to do as much work as possible to help with that cause. For example, I like digital coupons from places like Smart Source, Coupons.com, and Red Plum. I shop in bulk when need be because that also helps me save money and especially on things that I need like toilet paper, paper towels, diapers, and wipes. I also buy lunch items in bulk, and occasionally meat. When we finally start meal planning, I’ll buy other items in bulk to hopefully save on our food expenses. Today,…

I have a confession to make. Most nights before I go to bed, I head into the bathroom.

Eventually I’ll learn to accept it and…

Well, for one, I hate being sick. It drags down my day, offsets my mood, and just isn’t fun to deal with. Because of that, I start taking whatever precautions I can to help stave off illness. Frequent hand washing, carrying hand sanitizer, and changing my diet. I was doing a little research and I’ve come across 8 superfoods to help fight colds and…
