Kid’s Glasses Insanity
Both my husband and I have worn eyeglasses since we were children. As a result, Aaron had virtually no chance of escaping his wearing glasses too. Our little man has worn his specs for a couple of years now. He’s been complaining that things aren’t as clear, so it was off to get an exam […]
Is Your Protein Shake or Bar Safe?
As cynical as I was in my former career, I am generally a glass is half-full type of gal. I don’t automatically assume that either people or companies will cut so many corners that harm could result.

Thankfully, he’s very high functioning and is more similar to those who were previously diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. He’s very bright, but not skilled socially and has difficulty with […]
My Why
I began this year with the intention of getting my “sparkle” back. I think we’ve all gone through trying times, some much worse than others. Mine’s lasted longer than I would have liked, but I was intent on designing a life that I wanted – not one that I was going to settle on or […]
