A little while back, a Facebook friend asked me: What groceries would you buy each week if you only had $50 to spend and had picky eaters to please? Honestly, picky eating is not allowed in my house. I am not cruel about it but everyone is served the same food. I might set [...]
Family Fondue Dinner
My children love dip. The day our pediatrician recommended giving Lira ranch dip to encourage her to eat her vegetables truly changed our lives. Recently, I was thinking about how much I love The Melting Pot… even though I have only been once in my life and it was almost ten years ago. Fond memories. [...]

How to Explain Death to Your Children
In just one month, we had three friends and/or family members pass away, one of whom was Bill’s grandmother. We struggled with whether or not our children should attend the funeral, especially since the line between reality and fantasy is sometimes blurred in Lira’s autistic world. However, after seeking the insight of friends and praying [...]

Autism Therapy: Teaching Your Child About Personal Space
Kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders all have their own set of… quirky-ness. I mean no disrespect. All I mean is the reason why there is a spectrum is that there are so many different variations. For Lira, she has an extremely high IQ but cannot communicate that information as quickly as her brain processes [...]
