A Matter of Faith

By far the most important bit of information I can share with anyone is this. If you spend all your money and time and effort on healing your child from autism, ADHD, or whatever effects your family, and yet don’t know where your child will go the day they leave this earth, it will all […]

What is the Workbox System?

(This is our homeschool room.  We’re missing the back of our chair because my mom is recovering it.  We found the desk and chair on the side of the road for free.  We use the square shelves to hold books for Lynsey to read independently, books from the library, and books for me to read […]

Homeschooling Curriculum

We just started homeschooling this year for our 6 year old. We decided to go with My Father’s World 1st grade for our curriculum. It is a Charlotte Mason method curriculum, meaning more laid back, learning through reading, etc. I can’t say that I’d recommend this curriculum, at least for 1st grade. It is not […]

Why We Don’t Vaccinate

I could devote an entire blog to this subject, but I’ll try to keep it as brief as I can. That will be hard. Why did we choose not to vaccinate? When I was pregnant with my first child, I started reading a lot of books on the subject of pregnancy and childbirth. During that […]

Why I Started This Blog

I started this blog because I have kids with issues! 🙂 Because of that fact, I have run into many other moms who have kids with the same issues and don’t know what to do about it, or have had no success in treating their kids going the mainstream route (Ritalin, anti-seizure meds, ABA (therapies […]

Got Milk? Got Ear Infections?

I think this is the question which should appear after the “Got Milk?” ads. These ads are run by dairy farmers, so of course they are trying to tell you that milk is good for you because they make money if you believe their ads, but it’s simply not. Cow’s milk was intended for baby […]
