If you’re thinking about getting a subscription box for your autistic child, I would encourage you to look into Kiwi Crate. We were given a box to try and I truly believe that kiwi crate is a good fit for autistic children.  To round out the afterschooling curriculum, I wanted to do arts and crafts. Ideally, I would like to be able to do these myself with Sweet B, but it’s also nice to have an option that’s already assembled or at least has all of the necessary parts and pieces. We will do some crafts on our own, as soon as I figure out what themes we’re doing for the upcoming months. We did try another box service, but I also wanted to try out…

If you’re looking for a way to use up that leftover Halloween candy, this is the recipe for you! My kids absolutely LOVED making this crushed candy cupcake.  Growing up, Halloween was one of my favorite holidays. My mom usually made my costumes and I always looked forward to trick or treating with my friends. As I started getting older, Halloween started to lose some of it’s appeal but becoming a mom changed that again. Granted, I don’t always look forward to Halloween in terms of dealing with trick or treaters, but over the past few years I’ve started to enjoy it more. I’d love to start really decorating for Halloween again but in the meantime, I have fun planning ahead for Halloween. We usually…
