Whenever I go somewhere new, and they say hi to my son, I have to explain “he is non-verbal.” We will either try to say hi vocally or with his device. He is getting better with words, that is for sure. However, it still can be challenging because after that they might want to have [...]
I know it is super EARLY to think about Christmas, but I like to get started on my shopping and so many others in my family. I usually put together a list for Antonio. He personally picks them out and lets me know what he wants from Santa. I thought this was a great list [...]
I never heard of the word ‘sensory’ until Antonio was diagnosed with autism. It is hard to define what it really is because it can be different for different people. Sometimes they are over-sensory and sometimes under censored. There are plenty of ways to show off sensory; stimming, chewing on something, fist hitting, head hitting, [...]
My son is now six years old and is really moving mountains by increasing his speech. He has been nonverbal for most of his life. He still is considered nonverbal just because he can’t form sentences and communicate efficiently. However, he is at the stage in life right now where he is talking and repeating [...]
The new season is creeping up on us and soon the Ohio weather will be crisp and cold. I honestly like having all the different seasons, it makes life fun and enjoyable. When a new season comes along, it is always my favorite time to buy new clothes. This time is no different; here are [...]
When I realized I was going to be single, and a single mom, I was scared. I felt a lot more emotions than that, but it felt the strongest. As time went on I was able to feel other things and gain the confidence that I needed in order to be a successful mom and [...]
I literally can not believe my son is turning six today. I remember when he was born like it was yesterday. It seems like time flew by... everyone warned me, it would go by fast. I believed them, but not this fast. You are no longer my baby… or my baby boy… you’re now my [...]
I can't believe how quickly kids grow! They literally outgrow clothes so quickly. It is that time of year again where Antonio needs Fall clothes. It can be expensive to buy clothes, that is why I LOVE a good sale. There is a huge sale going on right now at The Children's Place. Toddler Boys [...]
Since Antonio is attending a private school in the Fall I am on the hunt for school uniforms. I found amazing pants at The Children's Place for an incredible price; I literally brought about 12 pairs of pants for under $60, which is a HUGE SAVINGS. I thought I would share it with others who [...]
Fall is around the corner, believe it or not. Summer is FLYING by. As seasons start to change, I really enjoy buying new outfits for the next season. It is kind of an addiction of mine lately. I love being able to purchase outfits right online and get it within two days. These are some [...]
Summer is the time of year to dress up and dress with style. I love being able to shop right online with Amazon Prime, there are so many adorable outfits on there.. I even get ads on Facebook now since it knows my style 😉 Marketing 101 is GREAT. This dress has heads turning, you [...]
