Happy Friday! What are you Doing to keep your immunity strong during COVID-19?

         "As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases."   https://homeschoolspecneedstidbits.com/affiliate-disclosure/ Good Morning and Happy Friday! Thankfully we have a day off from remote learning today and I can take a breather. Sometimes it is okay to just chill and take a minute for yourself. Because this weekend will go by fast. Flu season is afoot, what are you doing to keep your self and your family healthy besides drinking plenty of water, veggies, and more veggies and laughter? I am going to share a great recipe guide for smoothie s and it is so worth it. It isn't homemade, but premade and I am okay with that. You cannot beat not having to buy all of the frozen fruit and veggies and all you have to do is add the liquid. Don't be alarmed, it is all organic and worth it! Yummo:-) Also please remember to get your flu shot this season because....UM....we are in a pandemic and it is sort of important to have an added layer of protection for you and

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

A Little Goes a Long Way: Smart Secrets to Budgeting

  How are you doing at saving your money during this pandemic? Have prices stayed the same where you are or slowly rising? Teaching your children about saving money is always a great thing and as they get older this concept is much more important since he or she will be utilizing this necessary daily living skill. There’s nothing more we want than to be able to efficiently manage our money. After all, the money that we want to manage is money that is oftentimes, hard earned. This is where a budget comes in.

Where To Find the Cheapest Halloween Candy in 2020

  The best time to purchase cheap Halloween Candy is after Halloween, right? Who wants to pay full price for candy, especially at this time of year and during a pandemic. Go Online and shop to your heart's content on your seat, so you can avoid the crowds.  We personally like to shop at Amazon and Walmart : If you are an Amazon Prime Member , load up on the deals from your retailers just make sure it is not a third party seller, because the quality may not be as high as the actual retailers themselves. So shop from the source directly.  Amazon Skittles and Starburst Original Candy Bag of 65 Fun Sized Pieces Airheads 60 count variety pack Hi-Chew Variety Pack of 6 Snickers, Twix, 3 Musketeers, Milky Way 240 piece minis Walmart 2lb Candy Corn Bulk KitKat 60 Piece Party Bag Twizzlers 105 ct.

There have been many days of struggle and tears, arguments, and more is coming but loving you is definitely the easy part.  Be Safe out there.....This pandemic is really trying us, as a family on all fronts but we are taking it one day at a time.  ~M.

Visual Recipes You can Try with your Autistic Child

  Visual Recipes Good Morning(Or Afternoon/Evening, depends on where you are)! I hope this finds you well, practicing safe distancing and trying new things to create more beautiful moments and inspirations with your family. I thought that this would be a great way to show what may come in handy during the early days of back to school or anytime. As well as a learning moment for your autistic child/teen/adult or someone that likes to visualize what each step looks like in a recipe( I do!). I like to see what the end game will look like after I complete a recipe. Sure it may not look exactly the same but worth it to at least try something different.  I hope you enjoy these recipes by Tasty! Recipes and more visual recipes from other food vloggers as well. They are so fun to watch from start to finish, but it is also a game changer when you can pause, rewind, slow down and really visualize what each step will look like.  If anything, this will be a great life skill for your autistic son o
