I jumped at the chance to review the Miracle Skin Transformer. If anyone needs their skin transformed, it’s me. Seriously, I have huge pores and very oily skin. The  Miracle Skin Transformer is said to be a one-step application that instantly transforms your skin, leaving you with a smooth, radiant, airbrushed finish…in seconds. It does have a [...]

I want to start off by telling you a little about the company. Conceived in 2006, Tegu is fairly new. They started with a mission to help Honduras by creating a wooden toy company that uses the beautiful hardwoods and employs the wonderful people of that country. About half of the residents of Honduras live [...]

GIVEAWAY CLOSED! You know, I never realized how much I take automatic doors for granted until I watched this video. When I watched it, I was thinking to myself that I totally relate to that woman! To be honest, going to the mall with my kids is stressful enough. If the door isn’t automatic I [...]

The Lost and Found Temporary Autism Tattoos pack come with 6 tattoos, 6 Moisture Towelettes (for applying), 6 On-The-Go Alcohol Wipes (for removing) and one marker for writing your phone number on the tattoo.

I was so happy to have found Myself Belts! I wrote about self-help skills yesterday, and this is a great way for autistic kids to put their belts on by themselves. Jake still has trouble tying shoelaces and using buckles. We are able to use Velcro shoes until he gets the hang out of tying his [...]

Happy Earth Day everyone! We were planning on going to a local state park to enjoy nature and pick up any garbage that we came across. Unfortunately, Jake is not feeling well so we plan to go this weekend if he’s feeling up to it. I’d like to share some pictures with you of our [...]
