I am a Cincinnati Mom with 2 special needs kids. My son was born in 2000 and my daughter was born in 2001. You can read about their blog names in my post What’s in a name? Hubby and I have been married 15 years this past August. It has been an crazy journey and we are blessed to be together.
I have struggled the last 11 years to give my kids the best education, food and treatments money can buy. Raising special needs kids is taxing emotionally, relationally, financially and physically. This website is my dream to help break down the walls isolating special needs families and providing them with information to help them achieve their goals.
I have struggled to make ends meet, find time to connect with my husband and meet my children’s growing needs. I feel there are not more special needs blogs because families like mine are just trying to survive.
Blogging allows me to channel my frustrations into analytical educational posts as if I were back in the classroom again. I have to survive, so I want to share every little trick that is helping us in hopes that it will help someone else!
Remember the beginning of the movie Jerry McGuire when Jerry writes his “mission statement” in the dead of night and sends it to all his associates. I had a similar experience creating this post. It was written when I was trying to define this blog, the Warrior MAMA database and you my audience. It’s a bit over the top I know, but what else is new!
Please e-mail me with ideas, suggestions or comments. I’d love to hear from you!
