Coffee & Autism in 2015
My boys have been so sick this week. In fact, I missed THREE days of work because of the sick (and snow). Fevers, sore throats, sleepless nights, clingy and screaming. Now I feel that I’m coming ...
I really want to write real entries, but it’s so hard without a good computer. I’m slowly saving money from small sales I’m getting and waiting anxiously to be able to afford that small laptop. I...
Kickstart. in 2015
I think i mentioned in my last entry that I’ve decided I’m going to write my book. I have a (working) title and have literally been writing chapters in my head for the last year. So I went ahead...
Hey friends, It’s 9:30 and I should REALLY be sleeping, my eyes are half closed because I took my meds already. But I’ve been up and online doing a little promoting of my shop since I had time a...
While at therapy. in 2013
I don’t like to type entries on my phone, but I seem to spend a lot of time out of the house lately. So it’s one of my only options. That, and my laptop is, well, not exactly a good option right ...
Look at that, i’m back again so soon. :) I’d like to write more and catch up with all of you! If theres something you need me to know, comment me, i’m not going to have time to go back through ev...
Hey, look, I’m still alive. I’ve been working full time for almost 6 months. 50 hours a week. I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. And IBS. And depression. And anxiety. I’m on 3 different depres...
Checking in. in 2014
Hey, friends. I'm checking in! Little by little, i'm attempting to dig myself out of my emotional black hole. Things are not great for us, by any means. But, each day I'm still here, right? It...
World Autism Day. in 2014
It's a hard day for me. It's my first world autism day with a child who has autism. As if I don't cry everyday, today I want to cry over everything. I'm an advocate on the outside, but I'm mourn...
I'm so, so bad at coming back here to write, read, comment, check comments. I'm sorry! I forget that I wrote and then i don't come back, so i'm not ignoring anyone, i swear ;) I have the urge t...
Hey friends. in 2013
Hey, long lost PB friends. As you can tell, I haven't been on here in... a long time. I drop in from time to time, i miss you all <3 Things haven't been great around here, i don't even know ...

hey, friends. i haven't been on here in a while. i don't even know how to catch you up. things are rough. josh is out of work (i can't really say why right now, but it includes an injury). we ...
Happy New Year, right? Eh. Life has been ridiculously hard. Finances are nonexistent, we're lucky we still have our house (for today). My marriage is falling apart at the seams. My children dema...
I come here every single day and start an entry. I don't really know where to go with it. I always come with a "topic" that I'm thinking of writing about. Lately my days revolve around how m...
Not Great. in 2013
Things are pretty hectic around here. I wouldn't say it's related to the holidays, though. I actually came here yesterday to write an entry I would have titled "Why Autism is Destroying My Marri...
Discouraged. Help. in 2013
First things first, I'm back on my PPD meds for 2 days now, so I AM feeling a little more like myself. Thank goodness. Now, what's next. We have Joshua's appointment with his DAN/Naturopath do...
hey everyone. I'm not even sure where I left off or when I last updated. But I have a few minutes, with Liam sleeping and Joshua allowed to be on the ipad for a few minutes, so I may as well tak...
homemade all natural salves for sale. in 2013
I listed my salves on IG last night and sold a little over half of what I made! But I do have a little of everything left, so I figure I may as well show them off here, too ;) I can't order more ...
It's been a really, REALLY busy week for us. I'll start back at Wednesday, our appointment at the Children's Medical Center for the Autism evaluation (ADOS). It was basically the same test that...
Behavorial Therapy/Children's Medical Visit in 2013
We ended up having not one but two therapy sessions today -- one with one of our normal therapists, and the second with our new Behavioral Therapist. We chatted about a ton of things, but mostly ...
Sleep Stories. in 2013
My basic night of sleep goes like this: Fall asleep anywhere between 7:30 and 9:30 usually. Wake anywhere between midnight and 2am, atleast once, sometimes more, to a screaming Liam. Sometimes ...
My Favorite Chicken Salad. in Food.
I roast an entire chicken once a week. It's ridiculously easy and a great way to stretch money and still eat WELL. We buy a whole roaster chicken, usually at Walmart (so shoot me, it's not orga...
I only know how to be busy. in 2013
My title is the truth. I don't know HOW to NOT be busy. I cook and bake almost EVERY day. I clean the entire house every day (not DEEP clean, but I do a once over at LEAST once a day). I obviou...
Finding new snacks. in Food.
I've been on the hunt for GFDF snacks for myself, Josh, and the kids. I don't want to have to buy separate snacks for all of us. When I was eating Paleo - which I LOVED and lost weight on but i...
We met with our new Occupational Therapist today. She's nice, but I didn't really feel any sort of "click" with her like I feel with the others. But, it was only our first time meeting. And Joshu...
