This year, I am attempting to be a better steward of everything that God has blessed me with. This could be children, possessions, or money. Really, everything belongs to Him and I need to always remember that! If He can’t trust me to be a good steward of little things then He is not going to bless me with bigger things. We try to grocery shop for the month at…

Our New School Schedule!! Woohoo! I am on a roll!!!!
Here is what our new schedule will look like for those who are interested. I never put actual times on our schedule as we like to be relaxed and flexible. It is a trait (flexibility) that is difficult for children with autism so we work on it regularly. We also have many appts in the morning so we need to do less then. We keep a late schedule as well…

This is one of the many reasons that I love homeschooling!

One particular reason has presented itself in my local support group lately and in other autism blogs. Children with autism are not very good at routine changes. While Logan has improved in this area tremendously, he can still get…

Our new Tradition
This year, we decided on a new gift tradition. We have spent the entire year learning about God. As you can see from my other blog posts, we are learning about following God in all that we do and say. Christmas has really become a secular and commercialized season. To keep the true spirit of the season, we have decided to rein in the gorge of presents. Starting this year,…

Angel in Disguise
Logan and I got up early this morning (well, early for us) to go to the church’s food pantry to help make up the Christmas food baskets for the needy. I left Madison home sleeping because I knew that I would need to shadow Logan and to scaffold accordingly. God had other plans for us this morning. On the way to the church, our tire went flat. Not a little…
