Food storage has always been a bummer to me. I HATE coming home from the grocery store and just shoving everything in the fridge. Things go bad… you forget what you even bought… it’s a mess! We recently bought two things that have greatly helped but they’re pricey! The first is a vacuum sealer, … [Read more…]
I haven’t shared a lot of information about my family personally yet, so I’d like to start this post out with a little background info. Our son is 4 years old, and he is a non-verbal autistic.

I like cooking sometimes, but usually all the prep work, standing in front of a hot stove, and DISHES just makes me want to run… all the way to TacoBell. In my quest … [Read more…]
Parenting is hard. Parenting a special needs child is harder. Some days are REALLY hard. Today was one of those days. I yelled too much. I lost my patience. He didn’t listen. He was loud, messy, defiant… I had a migraine and no sleep. He had all of the energy of all of the children … [Read more…]
