I’ll admit it. I’m a control freak. I think my way is the best way. I think I know more about my kids than anyone else. If it’s one thing kids with special needs will give you its… humility. There is no room for pride or complete control when you are battling anxiety, moodiness, … [Read more...]

A Safer Way to Vaccinate
April 19, 2010 By 9 Comments
Vaccination is such a hot button topic these days. There are those that vaccinate their children – no questions asked. Then there are those who have never vaccinated. Setting aside those 2 extremes, most people fall somewhere in the middle. Since my son was born with a compromised immune system, I … [Read more...]

A Mother’s Story of Healing
April 13, 2010 By 3 Comments
I know why I am fighting and blogging and researching. But the fight is so hard. The kids just completed their 5th NAET treatment. The "clearings" from these treatments are bringing back old behaviors, and little sleep. Today I woke up to read a friends testimony for my Warrior MAMA database. I … [Read more...]

Just say YES!
April 9, 2010 By 3 Comments
I am controlling, analytical and productive. I’m also the “bad cop” in the family. Can you relate? Job’s spring break was the week before Easter and Lizzie’s was after. I have moved heaven and earth to keep the kids entertained and “occupied” so I could continue to “work”. Today … [Read more...]
I’m tired, Frustrated and Nervous
April 8, 2010 By 1 Comment
I’m tired because my kiddos have had me up all night. And of course they took turns, so I was up 2 nights and they were each up one. I am trying to piece together “why”, but the bottom line is that their bodies just don’t process “life” like others do. Monday, we treated the kids for … [Read more...]
GFCF on a budget and $5 Dinners
April 7, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Last month I shared that our food bill has been $1400 a month for the past 5 months. It hasn’t always been that way. When we first started the GFCF diet, our food bill went up slightly as we tried the prepackaged GF products on the market. It was summer, so mostly we ate grilled hotdogs, chips, … [Read more...]

weary in the battle
April 1, 2010 By 1 Comment
Lately I have been overwhelmed by the scope of issues hubby and I are trying to conquer in our kiddos. ADHD and autism have no medical cure. I don’t believe that. The diagnosis of both is similar. First you run tests to rule out “true medical diseases with treatments.” Our kids were tested for … [Read more...]
