We have been through a lot this year with inflation prices, a recession on the horizon and so much more we have to look forward to in 2023. But overall, we are thankful for the little things like a roof over our head, food on the table, friends and family and our sanity.

We have had to change our tune when it comes to how we do things, especially the way we eat and shop in our grocery stores. Picking up our groceries after shopping for them online and so much more, but we are especially thankful that we have the opportunity to homeschool our autistic son and college aged daughter is able to do her studies in an environment where they both strive and blossom. No distractions and total focus.

Happy Holidays!

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.

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
