Ending On A High Note

It's been a year of big and sometimes hard changes for our Middle Kiddo, but I'm so happy that he gets to finish 2025 on a high note with a volunteer shift at Habitat for Humanity. More good things to come in 2026.

2025 Reading

2025 has been a great year of reading, mixing fiction and non-fiction, serious and light. Far from the Tree is so long and dense in parts that it took me five or six e-loans from the library before I made it through, but I conquered it. On the other end of the spectrum, Perfection was perhaps the shortest read of the year and one that I would recommend for those of us whose lives straddle the before/after internet/social media eras. I'm not sure if there was an above and beyond favorite for 2025, but if I had to pick one, it would probably be Beheld.

Home School Executive Functioning Practice

We're still home schooling all three of our children and still using some creative, individualized strategies to build their skills.  Today's assignment for Little One: Propose three different ways to crush ten Oreos for Oreo cookie balls.  Test out your methods and decide which one works best.  Make and enjoy Oreo balls.

Tis The Season

 Parents of neurodivergent kids know the holidays are hard, so we try to be proactive.
