Sitting across the desk from my son's neuro-psychologist, I finally understood. This is what people are talking about when they hear news, but can't process it. I knew he was talking, but the words didn't make any sense. "This took him so long." "And this one, it took him much longer than it should have." … Continue reading We Whisper Dyslexia

A Book Review: Order of Seven by Beth Teliho
I love Young Adult books. There is something about how quickly it gets in to the story, and how emotionally invested the characters are, that grabs me. Order of Seven by Beth Teliho is no exception. I cracked this book open (ok turned on my Kindle) about 9pm on a Tuesday night. At 2am I … Continue reading A Book Review: Order of Seven by Beth Teliho
My Kid is a Freaking Rainbow
Last week, in search of something shiny, my son and I popped into the local resale shop. After a few laps around, some time in the toy section checking out a little fairy castle, he settled on a beautiful pair of clip earrings, circa 1984 old lady. I wasn't sure what his plan was, but … Continue reading My Kid is a Freaking Rainbow
Twisted Mix Tape The #Mommitment Edition
I don't have to miss mix tapes, because mix tapes are constantly playing in my head. Not a day goes by that I don't think, "If I were making a mix tape about ....... this song would be on it."

I Got a Parenting Do-Over and it Couldn’t Have Come Too Soon
Cabin fever was definitely taking its toll on us. Every conversation was somehow escalating into an argument. Every interaction with Isaiah seemed more like a list of what he was doing wrong, not what he was doing right. School work was a struggle, bedtime was a struggle, forget picking up his toys. I watched it … Continue reading I Got a Parenting Do-Over and it Couldn’t Have Come Too Soon
I Love a Little Girl With PACS1 And I’ve Never Even Met Her
I am pretty sure if Isaiah and Bridget ever met, they would be amazing friends. I've been watching Bridget grow up for a while now.

The Answer is, You Don’t Get An Answer
Last night I came into my bedroom and was immediately informed that "it" was none of my beeswax. I did not know what "it" was, but was pretty sure that "it" wasn't good. However I am a huge fan of natural consequences and so I walked away. 15 minutes later the boy was screaming … Continue reading The Answer is, You Don’t Get An Answer

Next Year I’m Going to Be on the Christmas Card
