Believe it or not, Isaiah and I were laying in bed the other night when we had this conversation. "Mom, we're never going to make a difference" "Of course we will my love." "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
tic disorder
I’m not saying YOUR child doesn’t have anxiety. I’m saying just because mine likes to control everything doesn’t mean HE does.

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."
