I so don't want summer to end but know it is necessary. How are you all doing in this new normal? Are you staying safe? Have you been able to visit family and friends during this time, even as the Delta Variant keeps on rising? Whatever you have decided to do with your family this summer I hope that you created lots of memories and just had a blast.

We were able to visit my dad in Michigan and stayed for about a week. I think that this was probably one of the most detailed trips we have ever taken since the kids were really young, especially because we had to wear masks and cover up anywhere, but at the end of it all, we were able to see my 87 year old father/Grandpa. It was awesome!

We have already started purchasing school supplies, changing calendars, getting ready for the school year is harder now than ever and I think it is still uncertain.  What are your plans? Are you going back to in person learning? hybrid? totally online? 


I know it is sort of dizzying right? At the end of it all, you have to make the best decision for your family and keep everyone as safe as you can, but if you are a family that is sort of on the fence, follow your heart and go where it leads. No one knows tomorrow and you want to be sure that when you go to bed at night that you have done the best that you can in these crazy world circumstances, especially when it comes to what is going on in our world right now. 

So with that being said, Be Well. Stay Safe. Have Fun. Make Memories. 

I will be talking to you all soon to tell you about how the first day of school went.

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...

Monthly Blog Posts for Autism and Life Experiences

"As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases." https://homeschoolspecneedstidbits.com/affiliate-disclosure/ Hello Everyone, and Happy New Year 2025! It has been a minute as we transition to a new year. How are you all doing? We are adjusting how we shop because prices are not getting smaller but more prominent. This also depends on where and how you shop. So, as a family, we have started doing much more bulk shopping and focusing on the products we buy the most and eat in large quantities.  It is breakfast, dinner, and snacks for us, LOL! How about you?  Things will be changing a bit on here as well because depending on what is going on in our lives, especially my own as an autistic parent, sometimes it can get a bit dicey at times, and I may draw a blank, which is rare for me or power goes out, which is what happened last time because of our cyclone bomb storm in the PNW. Keep your eyes peeled for some great monthly content about my life experiences, season...
