Starting a Holiday Tradition
For the last several months, there has been a routine in our household. Every night after dinner, Daddy and Michael sit down together to watch a couple of videos, usually shows that my husband likes and wants to introduce to his son. The choices range from Batman and the Justice League to Popeye and the…
Finding the Right Gift
One of the more difficult things for me during the holidays, and apparently for other families I have heard from who have children with significant disabilities, is deciding on gifts for those children. The yearly debate seems to focus on whether gifts should be chronologically age appropriate or developmentally age appropriate. I’m sorry to say…
Kid Made Holiday Gifts
I love having my kids make their own Holiday Gifts to give. Heck, it doesn’t even have to be for the Holidays. It could be for birthdays, Mother and Father’s Day, or Just Because I Think You’re Amazing Day. Luckily for me, I don’t have to come up with my own ideas. There are many…
Samuels’ Miracle
Written by Tersea from Samuel’s Miracle I’ve really enjoyed being November’s guest poster each Friday and appreciate Tammy giving me the opportunity to do so. I hope I was able to give you a small glimpse into our world since Samuel’s near drowning 3 years ago. I just want to leave you today with a…

When life gets difficult and complicated, I have found that my Thankful Thursday posts helped me…

He made his vest and headband…which reads “Chief Running Fast”. Oh how appropriate is that you have no idea. HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Share a photo with us this Special Exposure Wednesday….
Philanthropy knows no age limits
I try not to be a complete slacker when it comes to posts…I try. However, this week has been a bit overwhelming with the emotions of Peyton’s end of treatment capped off by my mother going into the hospital with pulmonary embolisms. Really, it’s been an upheaval pulling from every angle and my blogging thought…
What I’ll be doing on Halloween
While most parents will be transforming their everyday children into a costumed alter ego and hitting the road for candy, I will be quietly losing my mind obsessing thinking about the milestone of Halloween 2008. Not that I won’t be taking my kids for the annual candy-fest. But I will also be consumed with the…
