F-word series: Fortitude

Filed Under: featured, parenting Tagged With: F-Word Series, family

Once upon a time, I wrote an “F-word series” and today I’m revisiting a word that you have to embrace if you want to be great: FORTITUDE According to Dictionary.com, fortitude is a noun meaning, “mental and emotional strength in facing difficulty, adversity, danger, or temptation courageously”. Wow. Hard. CORE.  Lots of heavy-hitter terms there, did you notice? “emotional strength”, “adversity”, “courageously.” A difficult skill,

Emergency Preparedness for Persons with Disabilities and Special Needs

Filed Under: autism, featured, parenting Tagged With: autism safety, disaster planning, emergency preparedness for persons with disabilities and special needs, special needs

Where I live, we don’t get tornados, hurricanes or earthquakes – or if we do, they are a mere inconvenience. While flooding is a big concern in this area, our home is not in a danger zone. While that is, of course, a blessing to my family, it also means that disaster planning is not something we often think about. Emergency preparedness for persons with

healthy habits for kids

This is a sponsored post from Center For Youth Wellness about creating healthy habits for kids; all opinions are my own. We all want our kids to be fit, whole, and healthy for at least some of their lives. The problem is that kids learn best from what they see, not what you say.

Being a blogger, I’ve been privileged to be able to review some wonderful kids books. And it hasn’t been easy! Try as I might, my kids go through peaks and valleys where they love to read (read how I helped them) or hate to read (here’s how I inspire them). In the meantime, some of these books have touched my own heart! Here are my

Filed Under: parenting

I wasn’t going to write a post today, because I am not one of those people who had my life or loved one lost 10 years ago today. But one thing I was surprised – and heartened – by is that many are looking back with tales of how this tragic event spurred people to change their lives, and create amazing new things.  The awfulness

Sure, they know some things, but they are not yet accustomed to, “Hey, guys, it’s cleaning day!” I know I’ve dropped the ball on this but seasonal

2017: A Look Back

Filed Under: featured, parenting

I’ll be the first to admit: this year started and continued with lots of trepidation. It wasn’t just the (frankly) terrifying political air that stuck to everything like a bad odor. It was my fear of letting go our “beloved” charter school with Zoe’s graduation, and transitioning one child to public school for the first time, the other transitioning to high school. I *might* have
