Recently my youngest turned six and I started to remember what we went through when he entered into the world. First let me go back to my oldest. Mr. E was born 3 days pasthis due date. Labor came on naturally and we had to time it just right to reach the hospital if weContinue reading “Arrival Stories”

“Hello. It’s Me”
By now most of us are very familiar with Adele’s huge hit “Hello.” While this song is supposedly about healing old wounds from a bad breakup, I think it’s a fitting song for me, talking to my younger self. If you are not familiar with her song you can listen and watch it on YouTubeContinue reading ““Hello. It’s Me””
Adventures with Chickens Part Deux – Timing
Timing of things is always important: if you don’t time something that you’re baking, it won’t end well; if you have a sassy comeback to a stupid comment, you usually don’t think of it in time; catching your dog in the act of wrongdoing so that you can scold them properly is always difficult. AllContinue reading “Adventures with Chickens Part Deux – Timing”
It’s Not Autism.
To a parent of a “Quirky Kid,” those words can be a huge relief, knowing that something has been taken out of the equation. A weight has lifted off your shoulders because you know that it’s not this one thing. By contrast, it can bring another type of stress and emotion to the table.

Now, I’mContinue reading “Adventures in Chicken Farming”

Just put on your bubble suit before heading out the door to school or the grocery store. It’s like an extra bodyContinue reading “Sick Days”

What I’m referring to is doing all the work and research about all the issues E has (refer to my first postContinue reading “What do we do now?”
Progress
As I sit here today, the sky is grey and the wind could only be described as “blustery.” The changing weather is one of the reasons that I love this time of year. My thoughts turn to baking and reading books by a fire, wishing for snow and comfort foods. Today’s comfort food of choiceContinue reading “Progress”
The begining
I’ve racked my brain over and over about how to start off this first post. As a perfectionist at heart, I wanted dazzle, fireworks, jaw-dropping amazement. In short, I wanted perfection. Then it dawned on me, I use the word “I” too much. Yes, this blog is about me, but it is also about myContinue reading “The begining”
