Yesterday, as the kids had gotten home and headed straight for the trampoline instead of their regular routine of coming into the house and releasing backpacks and jackets, I became flustered– down right flustered! In the moment, I didn’t think about the excitement of the gorgeous Spring day that Jesus delivered to us, but about our routine. Without realizing it,…

To celebrate or not to celebrate?
Well, today is a really special day for many people who get to officially celebrate their “leap year” birthday because they were born on February 29th. Now the other three years before another leap year rolls around, the question becomes, when do I celebrate my birthday? Some choose an early birthday (Feb 28th) and others rather wait a day and…

You can find this story and others in his book that hasn’t been published yet called Marvel in your Autistic Eyes, Character lessons from…
An Underachiever?
Talk about pulling at your heartstrings…my 13 year mildly autistic son asks me today, “Mom what does an underachiever mean?” Most his age would probably know this; however, he is not most 13 year old boys. I felt an ache immediately in my heart as I explained to him, “An underachiever is someone who may not do as well as…
