#metoo

2017-10-162017-10-16 AC

So many of the things I've done in my life, and continue to do, are dictated by how to stay safe. In college, I wanted to join a biweekly evening study group on campus, but couldn't initially because it wasn't safe to walk alone at night. My male friend offered to start walking me up… Continue reading #metoo

2017-10-052017-10-07 AC

It's been almost six months since E was diagnosed. I look back at my life a year ago, and it is completely different. The most noticeable difference?

Books, Reading, and Underachieving.

2017-09-282017-09-28 AC

I grew up in a culture of reading. We read anything and everything. When my sister and I would go to people’s houses for dinner and they didn’t have children books, we would read whatever they had. We came to be experts on a large variety of random subjects. My dad didn’t care much for… Continue reading Books, Reading, and Underachieving.

No. Not From Cali.

2017-08-232017-08-23 AC

Three weeks ago I was at Target. Everybody was buying school supplies. I thought either people were really on top of things, or school started earlier in Utah than it did in Ohio. I asked the woman in line behind me when school started. She told me it started the 15th of August. I told… Continue reading No. Not From Cali.

Disclaimer: I talk about my children, pregnancy, and motherhood usually on my blog. This is a personal post about my health. I get questions often about my blood disorder, so I thought it was time to write up a bit about it.  I can’t remember a time in my childhood when blacking out was not… Continue reading Undiagnosed for 19 Years.

E’s Autism Story

2017-06-152017-07-29 AC

Child-Led Vs. Parent-Led

2017-05-262017-05-26 AC

How much time do you spend with your kids? One-on-one. It’s a genuine question. How much time do you spend play-playing with your kids. [Play-Play Definition for the clarity of this blog post-- Child-Led Play. Doing what they want you to do, imaginary games, etc.] I’m torn. I grew up with the generation of parents… Continue reading Child-Led Vs. Parent-Led

Generic Whining.

2017-02-23 AC

I hate to admit that I am having a hard time. I feel like it shows weakness and I don’t like to be portrayed as weak or a victim. I don’t see others as weak when they go through hardship, but I do see me as weak. I have a giant microscope to myself and… Continue reading Generic Whining.
