I know. Long time no post. I’ll talk about that later. For now, I want to share with you the BEST thing I’ve found in teaching children about finance, freedom, money management, and entrepreneurship – The Tuttle Twins books! They’re cute stories following the adventures of twins Ethan and Emily … Continue reading
I wrote almost all of this post back on January 29, 2018. It needed some editing and and good conclusion, and somehow I never got around to doing that. So here is what I wrote in January; everything since then will be tacked on to the end. Oh, and…Hello again!!! … Continue reading
A week and a half ago I got hurt at work. Again. Only this time it’s my right hand. You know, my dominant one. The one that allows me to do everything I do. I missed 5 days of work already this month and have to go to the doctor … Continue reading

Since its been so long since I’ve written, a little “catch up” post seems in order. Jed and Zac have both been in Occupational Therapy for their Sensory Processing Disorders for most of the year. The benefits have been amazing! My children are blooming, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. … Continue reading
It’s been a long time since I’ve written here. A LONG time. Before I start posting more frequently again, I feel I owe an explanation to my regular readers (and those of you who are still around after this long hiatus, thank you!). This will also serve as a sort … Continue reading
February was a dark time for me. The diagnosis of Autism really rocked my world. Not Jed’s diagnosis, but my unofficial diagnosis. Maybe that sounds strange, but it’s undeniable that I accepted Jed 100% as-is and had no fear whatsoever about his future, while simultaneously struggling to accept the same diagnosis … Continue reading
