In my post last week (read it HERE) I talked about my older sons’ recent sensory processing diagnosis. Now that we know the root cause of many of my sons’ behaviors we are working on how to change some of them for the better. To that end, my son is now receiving occupational therapy –…
In the past year I’ve posted a few times about what it’s like to have a difficult toddler and to manage problematic behaviors. I’ve often wondered if his behaviors were my fault or if something else was at play but time and time again I’ve been told that “boys will be boys” and that he’s…
When Felicity was born I never dreamed a year later we’d find ourselves in the middle of a global pandemic. Locked in our home. Unable to shop, dine out, or even play at the park. My school aged kids were suddenly at home doing so crisis version of remote learning. My kids are 7, 5,…

We all do it. There’s tons of memes that are meant to be funny, and often are because they are so relatable. Finally admitting to my best friend that sometimes I yell and being surprised that she does too. Seeing another parent on the edge at the grocery store and feeling their fury deep in…
