Today is Apraxia Awareness Day. Normally, I would have rallied people to wear blue; however the day almost slipped by unnoticed. It's not because Apraxia is no longer a part of our story; it always will be. We've learned to live with Apraxia. Now we're trying to figure out what it looks like to thrive as a PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) Family. It's only fitting that we spent today at speech therapy. On our way there, I asked Jackson if he wanted to post a video talking about Apraxia. Continue Reading

This month I met my 2023 Reading Goal by finishing 75 books! I'll keep reading until the end of the year to see how many more books I can add to my yearly total. This month I started reading holiday books. I usually love holiday books, but this year I'm just struggling to read them. Maybe because they are all so similar? Kind of like Hallmark movies? I have a few more Christmas reads on my Kindle. We'll see if I finish them in December. I might need to move on to something Continue Reading

Happy Halloween and Happy Book Review Day! It's currently snowing at my house. We'll be bundling up to do our trick-or-treating this evening. Brrrr....

It's about time for me to start reading all the holiday books stacked up on my shelf. This month I finished seven books - yes, two of them were non-fiction books about animals and snakes that Continue Reading

September was filled with good things, but that meant I had very little time to read. I'm pretty sure this was my most unproductive reading month of 2023, but seeing people I love was worth putting down the books! I got to spend five glorious days with my bestie in Oklahoma. We talked about books, went to bookstores, filled out our book journals, ate Mexican food, got Dr Peppers from Classic 50's and watched Gilmore Girls. We had so much fun doing a whole lot of nothing and it is exactly what Continue Reading

This month I swapped beach reads for a wider variety of genres. I needed a little change. I didn't quite make it through my summer TBR, but maybe I'll finish it in January when it's snowing and I'm wishing I was at the beach soaking up some sunshine! This month Jackson and I read the newest book in The Last FireHawk Series. We also started reading The Notebook of Doom series by Troy Cummings. It's a cute series filled with silly monsters trying to take over a school/town. Jackson and I read Continue Reading
