The Booms of July

Red, White and Boom. Thank you for reading, until next time!

I was out in the front yard last night staring up at the night sky waiting. Waiting for the sounds of fireworks and the flashes of red, white, and blue. I like to watch them, and in my case, I have to watch them from afar. Junior is afraid of the booms, but if we aren’t too close to the action, he doesn’t seem to mine them too much. Where we live, they often have a firework show every year on…

Haunted Service

I find it hard sometimes as I am sure most of us do to look back on my past with gratitude, especially during the tough times. Anything that has caused you pain in your life you tend to avoid thinking about. Any roads that you took that led to dead ends or wasted time? The amount of time that I spent in college took a lot of my energy and concentration. Not to mention the debt I am in or the…

The Lighthouse

I am the lighthouse; I am a fierce lover of my family. Thanks for being here today.

Well, it has been a while since I logged in and wrote something down for you to read. I am at a point in my life where I am trying to focus on self-improvement and self-love. I have not been loving who I am, and I have not been respecting myself. So, what does that mean exactly? Well, I have been in a constant state of anxiousness, and beyond that I am not giving myself any time to reflect on it…

Sometimes it’s just Breathing and Coffee

Breathe in and out and read this with me! Until Next Time!

After answering the phone with a hoarse voice and hearing to her surprise that I was just waking up I realized I felt more alone then ever. It is not that I feel like some people do not care, but clearly, they just won’t ever understand, you know? Sometimes we are up late into the night here at the house of quirks. Junior’s sleep is very sporadic sometimes and when we finally both fall asleep,…

From the Bottom of my Heart, I Thank You.

I just wanted to thank you today.

As Mother’s Day and Father’s Day have passed us this year I began to reflect on my own childhood and upbringing. I am grateful for the parents that I have, and I am even more blessed to still have them both to celebrate these special days with. My childhood is full of memories. And when I think about how I was raised and what my parents went through to support the six kids they had I appreciate…

Tinks

Stomps feet, dust falls, wings flutter furiously. Maybe I am just Tinks after all. Thanks for being here. Until next time.

There are so many instances in my life that I have triumphed and still so many that I have continued to struggle with sometimes. And even though there are still things about myself as a person I am trying to uncover and figure out, I know ultimately how I want to parent, and I try to stick to those notions as I go. I think my biggest concern about being a parent is that I create a life for my…

The Power of Sibling Love

Sibling Love Matters! Until Next Time Friends! Thanks for being here!

I wanted to write about Junior’s siblings today, and their importance in Junior’s life. I write a lot about my son on the spectrum and his struggles and triumphs, in his life. It is only a small glimpse into his life. His siblings greatly impact his life. I wanted to share their story because their love and protective nature for their brother is a great treasure. Sometimes as I watch them with…

For Cookies and Chocolate Milk

How do we grow? Thanks for reading. Like and share. Until next time :)

We haven’t been in a grocery store together in some time. Junior could not really tolerate them. The lights were so loud and bright, the people so busy, the noise so deafening. I remember holding his hand and pushing the cart with my other hand trying to make our way through the aisles. It was in the middle of the summer and the day had been hot. We did not have an air conditioner at home so…

Holiday Elves

Thank you for reading! Until next time :)

I had a wonderful holiday. I have two sons who still believe in Santa and two older daughters who know he is not exactly climbing down the chimney. So, the sneaking around in the middle of the night while no creature was stirring was certainly still happening at my house. Very late night wrapping along with tipping toes and quiet voices were in full swing. It is certainly tiring and certainly…

Tis the Season

Thank you for reading! Happy Holidays. Until next time

Photo by E M on Pexels.com It’s that time of year when Santa must make sure that gifts are not only safe and fun but loved and played with. Is it nontoxic? Is it durable? Is it practical? Will they like it? All my kids are specific likes and wants. I often tell my kids that Santa only has so much elf magic and if you request a gift that has a hefty price tag then it may be the only one you…
