Disney…A Little Bit Differently

by Hannahupdated on June 17, 2022February 26, 2022Leave a Comment on Disney…A Little Bit Differently

For many years, my oldest daughter has been ready for Disney. Her youngest sister was also ready and like most kids, when the Disney commercials come on with all the magic they want to leave that very minute to go there.

Wispy brown hair always worn in a ponytail Eyes that sparkle  when you can catch them A tiny frame, now eight years old And though she be but little, she is fierce* 8 years to wonder 8 years to wait, to hope, to pray,  to admit it’s more than tantrums or terrible 2’s, to try …

“I Don’t Have to Carry My Stuff”

by Hannahupdated on August 9, 2022April 26, 2020Leave a Comment on “I Don’t Have to Carry My Stuff”

“I Don’t Have to Carry My Stuff” I would say this week was tough, but it was the same as it is every week, and the same it has been for a very long time. It’s hard to know what someone else is thinking. And your own child, with special needs, may not be thinking …

Please – just don’t.

by Hannahupdated on March 20, 2022February 29, 2020Leave a Comment on Please – just don’t.

Please – just don’t. If you see or hear a mom struggling with her misbehaving child(ren) and you feel the urge to offer your own parenting advice, please – just don’t. If your children always behave or only have the occasional mishap of being slightly grumpy, you cannot put yourself in the place of a …
