The Anniversary of Princess Diana's death.

Today in 1997, Princess Diana and her companion Dodi al-Fayed were killed in a car accident in Paris.  

My parenting style is different.

I asked this question on my personal FB page: "At what flippin age do kids start to "remember" to replace the tp roll???? Ugh.... a small yet super annoying problem. Next time they sit without checking for a roll, Super Mum will not rescue them. They can MacGyver it."
Apparently this is a problem for most parents! The horror!! 

I made a video for my kidlets. Hopefully this will help my lovely kids remember to change the TP roll every once & while or maybe the fear of another Super Mum video appearing might help. Parenting win either way. ;)

Enjoy.

Autism Awareness Month

April is Autism Awareness Month. Today is World Autism Awareness Day​. My husband & I have a child with Asperger's Syndrome which is also referred to as Asperger syndrome (AS), Asperger disorder (AD), simply Asperger's or high functioning autism It is an autism spectrum disorder that affects language and behavioral development. EVERY person on the spectrum is very different from each other!  There are a lot of myths and misunderstandings about Asperger's floating around and an awareness day and month could help change that.. My child has asked for their privacy in regards to Asperger's, which my husband & I fully respect and hopes the rest of you will do the same. Please support Autism Awareness Month by educating yourself & others, by asking questions if you do not understand, by not judging a child that is having a meltdown in public while a parent is trying to deal with the situation, do not exclude a child from gatherings because you think it would "easier" for them, and over all be UNDERSTANDING when a situation requires certain things, like the volume to be lower, smaller groups, not changing schedules, or whatever is needed. Do not judge a parent by believing they are pampering/babying their child. Please change your FB cover photo to this photo to show support. Thanks!

How I Spent Some of My Weekend

How I Spent Some of My Weekend

My family helped a family friend with their indoor petting zoo this weekend. Nothing is better than crocheting & knitting around a bunch of baby lambs and baby goats. One spunky baby lamb, BamBam tried to take my yarn off my lap and then tried to take my cell phone while I was pickup up the yarn. CUTE! My kids were even able to bottle feed some of the baby lambs. It was a fun weekend for the kids. This Knitting KnitWit loved feeling all the wool on the sheep. ;-) 

Animals are from Griffin's Willow Farms. The farm isn't open to the public but their store, Griffin & Co. in Kettering, OH is open to the public and sometimes has young farm visitors.
