Read Part 1 We are very prideful people. Seriously! We want everyone to believe that we are great moms who love and discipline our kids perfectly. If someone thinks differently, we are hurt on a personal level. A part of me wants to tell the whole world that Bubs has SPD. Then if he has a rough day, I won't look ...
Day to Day
How Do I Explain, Part 2
Click to read Part 1 I do everything in my ability to prepare Bubs to have a successful day. Whether at home, at church, with friends, in a restaurant, wherever. If I know that his day is going to be filled with lots of excitement, he starts the day by jumping on the trampoline for 7 minutes. It is just like brushing his teeth for ...
Now That’s Thinking…
At dinner time a few days ago Bubs told us his master plan of how he was going to purchase a new Wii game. He had played the new Mario Brothers game with his Uncle and Aunt and really liked it. (Actually Mommy and Daddy had fun too!) In detail, he explained how he was going to have all of these games laid out (kind of the carnival concept). He ...
A Must Have for Lunches
Our kiddos attend a Mother's Day Out program at our church once a week for 5 hours. This is the time that I plan my doctor appts, dentist, meetings, etc. It is a lifesaver for me plus I feel it is important for my kids to have a break from me. They are loved on by others while hearing the same love of Jesus we talk about at home. We are a part ...
Handheld Shower
Ya know...it is the little things in life. For me it is a hand shower. I asked my husband why we didn't get this thing 5 years ago when Bubs was born! Seriously!! I LOVE to give the kids a shower. No more bending over! I know. Pretty sad. A few years ago while visiting our neighbors, Sweet Pea had one of "those" diapers. I came in and ...

Before You Start…
I received a phone call from a sweet friend. She was feeling the pressure to do a lot of "school" with her 4 1/2 year old. But, every time that she tries to sit down with her son, he stalls and complains about it. Instead of being a time of learning and fun, it becomes a long-drawn-out war. She believes that her son has the ability to read but he ...

A Different Path
I have decided to take this website down a little different path than I intended. Originally, I planned for the blog to consist only of issues dealing with Sensory Processing Disorder. I feel lead to open the topic up a little more to include all of our children and the challenges that we face in raising them to be godly men and woman. In the ...
Dip
We have taken a dip south these past few days with Bubs. The fits have returned filled with anger, disrespect, and yelling. Bubs is making choices that he wouldn’t normally choose. Things that he would never do – on those good weeks – he is trying. So, we send him to his “space” to get control and think about his choices. Two things really ...
