Of everything that’s in the gift guide, this next gift has definitely been the most anticipated in terms of getting a review done. T & J were particularly excited about doing this review and wanted to know (almost immediately) when we were going to get that done. Of course that kind of defeated the point of having this as a Christmas gift, but their excitement was definitely worth it. EzyRoller is a featured gift in our Holiday Gift Guide

Create with Blu Track

Though I don’t talk about them too much, Kyle’s two boys are here with us on the weekends. Though we’re far past the feeling out stage, sometimes I feel it’s difficult for me to engage with them. Not for lack of trying, but it’s just the truth. It’s been easier in the past year and I know it will only get better. That being said, when I started looking for more kids stuff for the Gift Guide, I had them in mind as well. I know they have a general affection for Hot Wheels, so I looked for something similar and came across Blu Track. I thought that the concept looked pretty neat and after reaching out, I had secured a set to review. [Tweet…

Using a Weighted Sash

We’re going to be starting afterschooling with Sweet B in November. I realize that it’s already two full months into the school year, but I needed to have all of the components ready or at least close to ready. Sometimes we’ll use printable packs (both from fabulous bloggers and made by myself specifically for our focus lesson), sometimes we’ll use board games, sometimes we’ll use crafts, and sometimes we’ll use our All About Reading. I want to mix it up for her, so that it’s not the same thing every day. Right now, I  wanted to talk about one of the necessary components for afterschooling or at least for Sweet B.

I don’t think I’ll have enough positive things to say about BabyLit Books. What originally started as just a query for the Gift Guide, has turned into one of the best experiences I’ve had as a blogger. In case you missed it, we’ve already talked about the Frankenstein Build and Play App. I might have mentioned that this was part of their Halloween Package that we got.   How cute is all of that? We got a Dracula tote, Dracula themed buttons, and two BabyLit books that are perfect for a fun and friendly Halloween! * Just Another Mom did receive product, but was not required to write a review.

Autism and Afterschooling

Because of her disability, and learning level, Sweet B doesn’t have homework. That’s not to say that she isn’t learning at home, but it wasn’t really structured. That was something I wanted to change, but I was kind of at a loss with where to start. That was until I treated it like an IEP meeting and developed some goals and how those goals would be reached. I understand, also, that I need to be flexible with this- especially in the beginning. It’s a change in routine for her, though once we’ve found something that works, I’m sure Sweet B will flourish. Autism and Afterschooling: The ‘IEP’ First, I had to create a set of goals, similar to what would happen if this were Sweet…

Autism Friendly Halloween

Halloween- one day of the year that it’s acceptable to dress in costume and go out in public. And, if you were like me as a kid, to sneak your treat bag (or pillow case full of candy) into your room and over-indulge in sweets. My parents didn’t let me have a lot of candy on a normal basis, so Halloween was definitely a treat for me. I would regret it later though because it was quite the shock to my poor system. But, Halloween isn’t always fun and games for everyone. For children with autism and related disabilities, Halloween can be downright miserable. So how can you have an autism friendly Halloween? Well, here’s some advice from myself and other moms of children with…
