The Christmas period is my favorite time of year. I love the music, the lights, and the possibility of snow. I love all the time you get to spend with family and friends. I love the food and drinks. I also love the scents (the White Company winter candle is my favorite). My older sonContinue reading “Autism and Christmas”

Social f$%#ing media…….
I think if we are all honest with ourselves, we would say that we have a love-hate relationship with social media. I like to think that my social media usage is to keep in contact with friends and family and as a platform for this blog and shop.

Our puppy Bailey and our autistic child.
We got a dog because my son was terrified of them; whenever we went out and he saw a dog, he would run to either my husband, his older brother or me to be picked up.

My neurotypical son wanted to be interviewed about his brother, so here it is: How old are you? Almost 10 years old. What do you understand autism to be? That’s hard….I’m not sure– I think his brain works a little differently than mine. What do you love about your brother? That he plays with meContinue reading “My brother is autistic”
