The Berenstain Bears: God Loves You! is my final book review of the Living Lights series. And, this is probably my favorite. The Berenstain siblings have tried out for separate activities at school. They are crushed when they get parts but not the ones they were hoping for. Mama and Papa teach the cubs ...
Book: Deep Harbor
One of the perks of my ABCJLM hobby is that I get to review books, CD's, etc that companies have to offer. I love this opportunity but I also take it very seriously. I realize that by putting my "stamp of approval" on something, it better be good! While most of the time, I review children and parenting items, sometimes I get the ...
Rough Week
Our rough stage continues - day six. I just got off the phone with our OT (did I mention how much I praise God for this lady!). She is going to have us start using a "brushing technique" and is also going to put Bubs on a behavior plan that he has to bring back to her at therapy on Monday. She was amazed at how far Bubs has ...
What’s in the Bible?
What's in the Bible?: Genesis - Volume 1, In the Beginning DVD As I stated yesterday, our family has been given the awesome opportunity to get a sneak peak preview of the brand new series What's in the Bible?. Yesterday afternoon our kiddos were already asking, "can we watch more of that funny video?" I was excited to watch more as ...

Finding the Right Therapist
Throughout the blog, I’ve shared how grateful I am for our Occupational Therapist. Ms. W truly is a gift from God. She challenges Bubs to grow and improve, and she partners with us so we can support him at home. I regularly thank God for leading us to her. It’s through OT that we’ve seen such incredible growth—honestly, it feels like we’ve regained ...
Stop the Silly?
I feel like I have a pretty good idea of how to handle a large part of Bubs' sensory issues. But there is one that I am struggling with. That is silliness. Bubs is excessively silly. Not just five-year-old-silly. I realize that this is common of these kids. I am talking over the top. So, I ...
Rough Weekend
Bubs had a really rough weekend. It was a roller coaster of emotions with him happy at one moment and screaming fit for the next. As I have stated before, Bubs is a very sweet little boy. His "fits" are so few and far between now that when they hit it totally takes me by surprise. I have had others ask me what I mean by ...
