Being Away From Home and Routine
We've just come off a roller coaster of end-of-school activities and a road trip to Southern California and back. After days of being off schedule and waking up in new places and seeing people not in his usual routine,… -
Isolation, Social Acceptance & the Big Picture
Here's a thought for today. I was reading on another blog about what the job description for Parenting (aka "Youth Manager Position") could look like. It's very funny and well-written. This main description caught my… -
The Travel
How do I determine what is the best option/plan of action for James? Well, it's kind of like this: Moving forward in time and roadways. Looking ahead, to the side, with one eye to the past. Trying to spot and analyze… -
Pushing for Progress
So many little changes, adding up to a new phase. Over the last 2 days, the potty training has gone backward a bit and James has been falling down some more (not lifting his feet properly to get over a small curb). B… -
Birthday Party Success Stories

Bright Colours and a Walk

- About Me: I am a Bay Area native who traveled and worked in many industries before before discovering web design and multimedia communications. I am married with two children. Our second child, James, was formally diagnosed with autistic disorder after almost a year of feeling that something wasn't right and consulting with specialists. I love my husband and children, art, music, traveling, and silliness. I believe that family and friends are the real things in life. What made you stop and think today?
