Curveball

This little man, I’ve been informed today, is diagnosed with Autism. Fortunately a very high functioning version of Autism that is, but autism non the less.
Though it feels odd to slap such a big ‘label’ on what’s been hindering the little guy’s development in certain areas, for me the news has oddly caused a great [...]

365::3

By far one of Nolan’s favorite activities at home is painting. However it’s so much his favorite activity that he rarely gets to do it at home because then he wants to do it every 5 minutes, not to mention that it’s not a terribly clean craft to clear up after, and typically it will [...]

Ugh

I am watching the marathon of Beauty & the Geek today as I woke up sick to my stomach this morning, coupled with a killer headache. I get migraines, but this isn’t a migraine, instead it’s something better knows as “the motherload of non migraine headaches that will not be treated by any volume of [...]

Expanding on the 365

So today I am totally cheating with my project 365 picture. I’ve been taking pictures of my fall jewelry all morning, and ran out of steam before I could think of anything different to take a picture of.

But while thinking of this project, I also thought it may be fun to tie in another [...]

Banana bread with comfort

I found this recipe on myrecipes.com, apparently the site Cooking Light now uses for it’s cooking database. I love banana bread, as it makes great use of those bananas that are too brown to eat, yet too good to throw out. This bread also uses blueberries, which was the reason I found it so I [...]

Lazy Daze

I am having a deliciously lazy day today. This morning I started the day off with a bang and ran over to my dermatologists office where she could only find one tiny suspicious mole, and she zapped two stubborn warts while I was there. Yes I have warts and not ashamed. Well, I used to [...]

Attempt at becoming millionaires. VA Daytrip

My sweetie got a wild hair to run over to Virginia the day the “biggest lottery amount ever to have been awarded, ever!” was to be announced last week. I agreed to tag along so we made it a fun little off the cuff daytrip.
First I thought it would be fun to dress Nolan as [...]

Big turds, big moments!

I am happy to report that after my last suffering post Nolan has produced 3 ginormous poops on the potty! The things have been so large in size I swear I want to take a picture of it every time and post it here, but I will save the internet of such visuals.
I never [...]

The parenting blues

I have a great kid. We have a great kid. Our little stinker is a good boy, he is a polite boy, he is a loving thing, a snuggle bug. We can take him to a restaurant and he behaves like a cute little prince, telling the staff at El Rodeo “gracias amigo!” at the [...]

Looking forward to color

Today me and the boy snuck out at the end of the day and walked through the Arboretum before it closed for the day. The Arboretum= one-of-the-many-places-I-LOVE-to-go-but-always-forget-to. Though this time of the year there’s not much to look at there it’s still a great walk. The most color I saw there today was the beautiful [...]
