Just trying to be a Good Mom, sometimes succeeding, sometimes not. But blogging about it anyway.
From the monthly archives:
This one was made to solve a particular problem at our house. Pookie gets up and wanders during meals. Its sort of like he has pediatric restless leg syndrome or something. He pops up, runs to the window, looks out and then runs back to his chair. To remind him to [...]

I don’t use many clothes pins, but when you need one, you need one. Just this week I used 4 to hold up Geetle and Pookie’s slightly broken Roman Shade to let in a breeze. I saw this tutorial on making a homemade clothes pin bag. Cute. Things went well, except [...]

We are going to be leaving for Cincinnati in a few days, so in order to fill my blog while I am gone, I thought I would set up a series of posts showing things I have made recently. I’ll link to the tutorials when I can. There are ALOT of great tutorials [...]

Compliments of The Lazy Bloggers Post Generator, a tool which helps you put up a quick and witty blog post apologizing for your lack of recent blog posts. Here is mine (although I have been doing pretty well lately):

Michael Savage. Google him and read all about his anti-autism rants. I am not going to dignify him with a link.
All I want to point out today is one important fact that keeps coming up in these conversations. There is apparently some perception among society that autistic children qualify for some magic [...]
