Good Afternoon, 
How are you doing this rainy afternoon? (or whatever the weather is like in your neck of the woods). Christmas time and the holiday season should be a time to spend with family and friends, but this time is different. 

There are many people in the world that are hurting right now, especially with all of the losses that businesses are going through right now. If you can give what you can from your pantry, closet or heart please do. Every year our family makes it a point to give to the homeless shelters and food pantries in our area because we all know that tomorrow is not promised. 

Covid-19 and the year 2020 is one that our family will never forget. Our now adult daughter missed out on a lot of firsts as the graduating class of 2020 but in the end she is able to be flexible with change and use this time to reflect and look towards the future as we all should. While our youngest missed out as well by not being able to graduate with his 8th grade class and/or be able to step inside his high school building, as he and my daughter are all in remote learning since March of this year. This is is not going to be forever, but we should definitely do our part to keep each other safe and alive. 

Have a great rest of the week and stay safe!

Opening School During a Pandemic with 3 Different Covid-19 Strains

"As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases." https://homeschoolspecneedstidbits.com/affiliate-disclosure/ Is it SAFE for your kids to return to school during a pandemic? My hubby and I asked each other that same question a few days ago when we received an email about our school district's reopening plan. There are so many things at stake: economy, opening of businesses, children's mental and emotional wellness,   parent's sanity and so much more that is happening in our world right now.  To top it all off, there is a pandemic that can kill you and your immediate family ***ARGH!!!***. If you are still on the fence about what to decide, in regards to sending your children back to school, the CDC has a great checklist you can check out and make the best decision for your family.  In our case, our son is autistic as some of you may already know and our concerns will obviously not be the same as your concerns when it comes to having your child return t...

Unfortunately for myself, I am allergic, but for those who can savor the many ways that peanut butter touches their lives, whether that be on apples or in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Enjoy the many ways to savor the goodness of roasted creamy or crunchy peanut butter. #PeanutButterLoversDay Here are five creative ways to enjoy peanut butter: 1.  Peanut butter and watermelon sandwiches Don't knock it 'til you've tried it.

Autism Moms

  When I learned our son had autism it was two weeks after my mother passed away, so not only was I grieving about my mother's passing I was also grieving about what could have been with our son. Fast forward to now. So much has happened since that moment in time and it has not been easy. It has been  hard as hell! But I keep on persisting and advocating and DOING because our children are our life's work poured into them, so that they can live a most productive life. Even more so, if they are a son or daughter with special needs, it gets a little bit more challenging. I don't think about when I will no longer be here on this earth because this is too scary to comprehend, so I only think about the now, the present. Every day is a gift so I celebrate the triumphs, mourn the low points and then pick myself up so I can do it again the next day.  Good Morning:-). By Mom Advocate
