I’ve been stewing. Sitting here wondering how to get more readers when what I should be focusing on is venting through my writing. And enjoying the process of writing. I don’t know if anyone is reading this, other than my writing partner, Nicole. At this point, I really just want to talk about my life…

Well, that’s not entirely true. I do have patience with my son. He has cerebral palsy and I am very patient with him. I have to be patient with him. He needs a little extra time to make decisions about what he wants to eat, or which book he wants to read. He needs…

It is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them. ~Ben Franklin No shit, Ben. You’re preaching to the choir, buddy. I have a 10 year old son who has CP. He also has developed some rather unsavory habits lately. I’m at my wit’s end over this and I’m ready to just throw in…

I’ve been thinking about this post for the last few days. My husband and I just celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary and I wanted to commemorate the occasion by writing a little something about him. I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that the old adage is true: Happiness really is being married to…

A few days ago, I began to think about my daughter starting Kindergarten soon. Tomorrow, in fact. I’m concerned that because we’ve kept such a tight reign on her social life (meaning who she’s allowed to hang out with) that she will come home with either an attitude we can’t stand, or saying things we…

Having a child with special needs can consume every minute of your life if you let it. Yes, you go through the grief of it all. Yes, there is a depression that hits, and yes, there is acceptance. I’ve been through it and I’ve come out the other side a stronger and more patient person…

So, when Joel and I got married, we dreamed of having a baby right away. We got married in September, and by December, we were expecting. Unlike some of our dearest friends, we have never had any trouble getting pregnant. Seriously, it was like he looked at me funny, and BAM! I was pregnant. What…

After 9 years at home with my munchkins, I decided it was time to go back to work. Now, I haven’t worked since my eldest was born with Cerebral Palsy. OK, I worked for my brother-in-law for only 4 months when Jamie was 2. My sister kept Jamie for me, so really it was like…

Truer words could not be spoken. My two kids have been friends, right from the start. When we brought Riley home from the hospital, Jamie was instantly in love.

When it comes to us parents of KWSNs, we are the Ty Pennington’s of modifying our homes to suit our kids’ needs. We have modified our own home and we have friends who have done the same to enable their children to use things in the house without assistance. Wouldn’t you add a step stool…

I just love Toys R Us. Not just because I’m literally a kid at heart and I love being surrounded by all of those toys; but mostly because they have a special catalog for our kids. Their catalog is called the Toys R Us Differently-Abled Guide, and if you haven’t heard of it, it’s a…

I love music. I have always loved music, even before I became a mommy and started using it every day in our day-to-day learning. I’ve used it to make me feel better, to make myself cry when I needed a good one, and to tell someone exactly how I feel. I’ve dedicated songs to people,…

So, here’s my first confession. I got this idea from a talk with Nicole last night. Stolen ideas are the best! I have many other confessions. Like, I absolutely use the TV as a babysitter sometimes. I know, I know; not a great idea. In my defense, sometimes I need to use the restroom in…

You want a night out? The first thing that comes to mind is: Are you crazy? You’re leaving your precious little one to go out and enjoy yourself with your spouse/significant other/friends? How dare you think you deserve that time to actually be the person you were before your kids came along! Just who do…

Or, as I like to call it “A direct route to Crazy Town”. I know exactly what I’m talking about here, folks. My family and I have traveled quite a bit in the last 4 years. Half of our family lives in Florida while the other half call Minnesota home. We live in Kentucky. That’s…
