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. I met her mom, Kerri, through my good friend, Kristi, because we were all moms of kids with Special Needs, and we all had the same sense of humor. That … Continue reading I Love a Little Girl With PACS1 And I’ve Never Even Met Her

Be The Weird Family on Your Block

"But mom, we're the only people I know who even care about GMO's and eat organic." "That's not true baby, we know … Continue reading Be The Weird Family on Your Block
I Was Against GMO’s Before it Was Cool
Hey! I have an AWESOME idea! Take that broccoli you were going to feed your kids tonight and soak it in RoundUp- let it sit for 30 days. Now rinse it off, you know, like you would if you were getting ready to cook it and feed it to your child. What? No? You don't … Continue reading I Was Against GMO’s Before it Was Cool

The Commotion You Know
Isaiah's tennis teacher is a saint. He specializes in teaching 4-8 year olds tennis. Enough said. As the mother of an 8-year-old I can personally vouch for how difficult that must be. Oh wait - I forget we are assuming that child is typical. But my child is not typical, and this class includes … Continue reading The Commotion You Know
Sensory Processing Disorder Can Also Mean Loud and Rude
I keep a pair of earplugs readily located in my epi-pen bag. Today was a hard day. It was a hard day, and I didn’t handle it as well as I could have. Today we went to the zoo. He can only handle the zoo in a stroller. He is 7. Without a stroller, he … Continue reading Sensory Processing Disorder Can Also Mean Loud and Rude
I Blame Television
I freaked out the boy tonight by announcing we were only going to listen to music now. The TV is making me crazy. It really is. I was a staunch no TV mama until he was 2 and a half. Then he got pneumonia for the first time and there was only so much entertaining … Continue reading I Blame Television
On the outside I’m a hippie freakshow, on the inside…About Jen Kehl

I don’t wear makeup, I buy expensive shampoo, I owned a Bugaboo and I buy most of my clothes at Target. I read my bible everyday, old and new … Continue reading On the outside I’m a hippie freakshow, on the inside…About Jen Kehl
My Kid Has A Tic And He Thinks it Makes Me Mad
I looked back at Isaiah from the front seat because a movement caught my eye. "What ya doing, Izze?" "It's just my tic mom." "What's your tic telling you to do?" "It's telling me to lock and unlock." We're at a stoplight so I look behind me and sure enough his hands are making a … Continue reading My Kid Has A Tic And He Thinks it Makes Me Mad
