When I first started this blog I had this grand idea of learning and sharing lots of great information about being green and hopefully motivating, maybe even inspiring, others to implement some eco-friendly habits into their lives. I wanted to have fun with it, for the most part. I didn’t think ahead enough to realize how tough […]

Let’s hope those pumpkins magically transform into a lovely sleigh, on a certain Eve.
Disney Devastation

As I sit here typing this I’m looking across the room at Cody, my son with autism, happily watching YouTube videos on his laptop, headphones on, oblivious to the news I have to tell him. Literally since we returned home from our last trip to Walt Disney World in December 2007, he has asked almost every […]

Aside from the fact that we’ve decorated our home for Christmas and I am starting to hum or sing the occasional holiday song, nothing puts me more in the spirit than to give to others and see their face when they receive something truly special. This made me think, why wait until the big day […]
I just had to write this

I was feeling lost about what to write as I try to get back in the swing of things after last week. Then I realized I just need to share some of what last week was like for me in order to clear my head and move forward. It’s a crazy time of year for […]
Kind of in support of Small Business Saturday
November 27, 2010 · by · 1 Comment
Today is the first-ever Small Business Saturday. Basically, it’s a movement to support those who own businesses in our local communities with our purchases, dining, or something else. I am a big supporter of local businesses whenever possible. I love the coffee shop where most of the gals behind the counter are super friendly and I prefer […]
16 Already…..how did that happen?

Dear Cody, I can still remember being pregnant with you all those years ago. Although it wasn’t planned, I was still so happy and excited for your arrival. Looking back, I wouldn’t have been so eager had I known the pain it would cause to push all nine pounds and four ounces of you out of […]
Creating new memories……after the fog

Yesterday my family and I went bowling. Pretty normal and fun activity, right? As I was getting ready to leave, it occurred to me that we hadn’t been to this particular bowling alley in seven years, almost to the exact day. (More later on how I’m so sure of the date.) It was where we celebrated Cody’s […]
The Special Olympics are pretty special
November 17, 2010 · by · 1 Comment
On Monday morning I drove about 30 minutes to the closest bowling alley to attend the Special Olympics competition being held there. Cody has participated since he was in elementary school and now that he’s a teen, he finally gets the competitive side. A little bit. I’m super competitive so any time I have watched my […]

A favorite television show my husband and I like to watch together is ABC’s Primetime Show What Would You Do? In case you aren’t familiar with the show, basically they set up scenarios with actors and see how outsiders would react. Will they speak up or just walk on by? I do think that some of their […]
