A few weeks ago while wandering through Target and sipping on a Starbucks mocha, I ended up in the Halloween section. I was with the rest of my family or it would have never happened. I’d much rather roll my cart slowly through the food aisles and scour the home goods section for clearance deals, […]
Health plans with added benefits
October 18, 2012 · by · 1 Comment
I recently had the opportunity to participate in a conversation regarding health benefits. It’s been a really long time since I’ve personally had a decent health care plan, so I was definitely curious and interested as to the types of benefits being offered to families. WellPoint is one of the largest health benefits companies in […]

Cody has never fit into that little box filled with stereotypes of kids with autism. He doesn’t mind his picture being taken, he loves hugs and kisses, and he’s pretty tolerant of change. Well he asks a million questions if there’s a sudden change in a plan, but he tolerates it just the same. Last […]

We are at a point again in Cody and Nick’s education where they are at the same school, the high school. I’m sure many parents agree that this makes things so much easier. I don’t even feel like I need to explain why because the reasons are so obvious. So last night we had an […]

Every year as the kids’ birthdays approach, I find myself remembering back to being as big as a house as well as the anticipation I felt at the thought of holding each of them in my arms. So as not to disappoint my family, yesterday while at dinner I began a sentence with fourteen years […]

I remember the excitement of homecoming week very well. I was a cheerleader in high school, so I played an active role in bringing out school spirit in my fellow classmates.

I don’t know about you, but I love receiving packages. I love when I see one sitting beside my mailbox or when a delivery driver knocks at my door and hands me a box with a goody inside. I especially love to track my packages. As a matter of fact, I’ve been known to get […]
