  OK, I feel bad even asking this, but this contest is coming to an end tomorrow, and I don’t have nearly as many facebook friends as other people who entered. I’m trying to win a SpringFree trampoline for my son Jacob. We have an old trampoline here now, but the blue pad that covers [...]

Holy lack of updates Batman!  Summer is just crazy busy around here, I’m so sorry for not keeping up with y’all AND this blog! One of the things we did this summer (and last summer too) is stay at a yurt at Tuscarora State Park. If you are looking for a cheap vacation, I really [...]

Jacob’s father plays guitar in a band and they were playing at Knoebels this past weekend. Little Juliet was sick with a cold (again!) so she stayed home with her daddy while I took Jake to the park. I didn’t get to take a whole lot of pictures, because for most of the day it [...]

I’m so sorry that I’m backed up on emails and such. Things have been so busy around here, but since most of you are moms  I’m sure you understand! Well Juliet’s front teeth couldn’t be saved. The poor thing is going to have to go without her four top front teeth until her adult ones [...]

I blogged briefly before about art and autism. I contacted Crayola to see if they would be interested in participating in this event and I was so happy that they wrote back. Not only because they agreed to participate, but because they took to time to really see which of their products would be best for [...]

I worry about Jake getting the socialization and structure that he needs during the summer, but I found some really great programs that keeps him busy and more importantly, gets him around his peers. The first one is a day camp program that’s through a local church. We don’t have any affiliation with this church, [...]

Going along with my post about Art and Autism, I want to share a wonderful website with you. Gifted Imaginationsis an online store that carries the best brands of toys. They have great toys from HABA, Plan Toys, Melissa and Doug, Selecta and more. I love the simplicity of wooden toys, and they sure carry [...]
