I had one of those days at work where you look like crap and people keep asking if you if you're okay. People asking you if you're okay when you are not actually sick is code for "You look like shit, what's up?" The what's up is I didn't get sleep fo...

Two of my babies are 12. They are still, and may always be in some ways, babies. On Saturday at the train event, at one point both Miles and Charlie climbed up on a truck or tractor and then held out their arms to me to rescue them. A toddler might h...

Sometimes, just sometimes, Miles and Charlie are just little boys. Autism isn't raging, no one is out of control. They're still little tiny boys trapped in giant bodies, but they're not a burden or something to deal with. They're just my little guys.

I think it's a normal state of being, wanting two divergent things at the same time. Things which are mutually exclusive can both be desireable and I suppose that the trick is to to realize that sometimes, just sometimes you have to live with that fa...

The first problem with an day as an autism parent is thinking you've got it under control. I woke up with a BRILLIANT amount of undisturbed sleep today.My Fitbit told me that I didn't even have restless time in the night, I slept like the dead all ni...

I know I've established that we like to go look at art. That's totally true. But why is that? Is it because we think it will make our children smart? Yeah, we actually do. It's good for them. Do they like it? Nope, not always. Sometimes they are anno...

We went last night to the Relay for Life event at the Fairgrounds. It had been a few years since we went to this, but we had such a good time last time and we had nothing going on so we decided why not go check out the fun.Our Relay for Life event is...

It isn’t news that we live in an age of social media. If you are on Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms then there is a very good chance that you frequently see pictures and posts of parents who truly seem like Super Awesome Pa...

  As we go through life we collect labels. Nerd, jock, feminist, dog lover – words and phrases that identify a small part of who we are, what niche we fit into, or the things we are passionate about. One of my most important labels is a mo...

  There’s something peculiar about showering after you’ve had a baby. It hurts, but it’s pleasant, a soothing feeling that persists from the very beginning of your life to the very end. The feeling of warmth encompassing your b...

I always make too many plans on Football Sundays. My husband goes to watch football and I think I'll get 54690508 things done and I'll spend time with the kids and I'll be a good PINTEREST MOM and I'll do things and we'll make crafts and play games a...
