2010: A Look Back

As the year draws to an end, I decided to join the many other bloggers out there for their year in review. 2010 has been quite the eventful year for our family- we had our ups and downs, made some great new friends, made a lot of progress with Shaun, it was a big year for us in many ways! Here are …

Top 2 Tuesday: Resolutions Edition!

I am linking up with a wonderful blog, Undomestic Momma, for Top 2 Tuesday, and this weeks theme is:

TOP TWO NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS!!!



Yep, it's that time to start thinking about what I want to accomplish in the new year. Mostly I just hope to get through the year, or more specifically, the final …

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

What a busy few weeks it's been. And stressful. I will write more on our trip later when I have a bit more time on my hands, but for now, it's time to link up with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday!!!

I am loving:



how much Shaun loved our train trip! It was not without it's issues- …

Meet Me On Monday

I have several new followers (thanks in large part to my being features on Simply Sunshine and Daisies!) so I found 'Meet Me on Monday' here, and thought it would be a wonderful way for my new readers to get to know me a little better!

1. How do you order your steak?
Not at all! I don't …

What I'm Loving Wednesday! (My Favorite Things!)

It’s Wednesday yet again, which means I’m linking up with Jamie for ‘What I’m Loving Wednesday’! Today’s edition should really be titled ‘A Few of my Favorite Things’! (I never understood how this was considered a holiday song, but whatever!) But anyway, today as always I am loving:

Vintage Pyrex

Mommy's Little Helper: Christmas Sugar Cookies!

I love the holidays: the music, the decorations and of course, the baking! I have found myself doing much more baking than usual this year. (I'm going to blame my husband for buying me a Kitchenaid for my birthday in August! But I love it and him for it!) The trouble with baking though is that …

An Autism Mommy's Worst Nightmare: Elopement!

When anyone comes to visit my house, one of the first things you will hear me say is to be sure to lock the chain lock at all times. Perhaps to some, that sounds like paranoia, but if you have a runner like my Shaun, you understand all too well how serious this is.

Shortly after moving into our new…

I've been featured!

A little bit ago I was contacted by an awesome blogger, Liv Kit, to do an interview on her blog 'Simply Sunshine and Daisies'. She has been doing features on bloggers with less than 100 followers and I was one of the chosen, so for anyone interested in reading that interview, you can find i…

What I'm Loving Wednesday!!

It's time once again for WILW with Jamie!

I am loving that we leave to go home for the holidays in less than 2 weeks! Where does the time go!? I am super excited about this, but we could use all the prayers you could send our way for this trip- cross country train trip alone with an autistic chi…

I've got so much, so much, so much...

To be thankful for. (That is much more entertaining if you know the song and dance that goes along with it!)

Anyway, coming in a little late, but is it ever really too late to share what you're thankful for? This Thanksgiving week, I have not been feeling well...a simple cold I'm sure but wi…

What I'm Loving Wednesday: Thanksgiving Edition!

As I take a break from baking, I will once again link up with Jamie for 'What I'm Loving Wednesday'. I am still having a hard time with the Thanksgiving holiday this year, not that I don't have a lot to be thankful for (which I will post more about tomorrow!) but because it's a …

What I'm Loving Wednesday!!!

It's Wednesday once again, so it's time to link up with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday!

To start off I have to say- I'm loving the Holiday Season!!! This week has been filled with holiday preparation. I have not forgotten about Thanksgiving either, but I'm having a hard time…

What I'm Loving Wednesday!!

It's Wednesday once again, which means it's time to link up with Jamie for 'What I'm Loving Wednesday'!

And what kind of Marine wife would I be if I didn't start off on this November 10th by saying I love the Marine Corps!? For those of you who do not know, today is the 235th…

Top 2 Tuesday- Thankful

I am linking up with The Undomestic Momma for Top 2 Tuesday: Top 2 Things I'm Thankful for. Yes, I know it's still technically Monday, but we have a busy day ahead of us and I have so much to be thankful for that I wanted to join in. So here we go:



Top 2 Things I'm Thankful For:

1. My fam…

Lemonade

I have a confession to made: life with Autism sometimes sucks. Okay, maybe that's not a confession but something most would find quite obvious. There are days filled with poop covered trains. Very public meltdowns that make you want to cringe. Sleepless nights, night after night. Being hit by y…

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Once again I am linking up with Jamie for 'What I'm loving Wednesday'.

As my Facebook friends know, my day started off on a bit of a sad point, but nonetheless there are many things to be happy about, so these are a few things I'm loving this week!

I'm loving:
A good bargain!

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I got this wonderful idea from Beth Ann's blog, who linked up with Jamie @ this kind of love and decided I wanted to join in. With everything going on in our lives right now, I have made it a goal to stay positive, so when I saw this I thought it would be a great way to a) keep things looking o…
