I haven't been posting on this site for a while, because I've been developing 8 Busy Bees-the newer more inclusive version of this site. I did a lot of brainstorming and soul searching. In discussing my goals for blogging with others, I realized a lot of things I advocate for on this blog apply to [...]
I've been taking a blogging course and I'm learning so much. I've also realized in this process that I want to be of help to families of all kinds of special needs. To that end, I've been working on rebranding my blog. I'm still going to primarily talk about Autism, anxiety and ADHD. In fact, [...]
I've been working on tweaking my blog and creating a social media presence lately, so I haven't had as much time to craft. I'm feeling the need to put out some crafting energy today, so I'm pulling out an old blog post about giving ruined baby clothes a second life. I hate waste and I [...]
One of the things we like to do is take time with each child to do something special. This last weekend DH (DearHusband) and I had to go to a formal work event. For Friday Family Time (yes, we kind of consider it a proper noun), we sat down as a whole family to watch [...]
Time for a Mega Crafting post. I never did post this one on my old blog. After my software for my professional vinyl cutter was woefully out-of-date and I would have to purchase new software for quite a lot, I decided to purchase a Silhouette Cameo. I loved that it could do paper, fabric and [...]
For a while now I've been contemplating making something that would possibly make my life a little easier. I've had enough meltdowns on outings with my ASD kids to know I wanted to do something to indicate we are an Autism family. I also wanted it to be an item I could keep in [...]
I'm sorry for the delay in getting this up today. It's been a whirlwind week and I'm just catching my breath. This was this month's inspiration pallet--we actually started this challenge in May (May the Fourth be with you). I've been wanting to try my hand at an alphabet, so I played with the Shareware [...]
Recently we had a spaghetti dinner fundraiser for our boy scout troop. It included a cake auction and the boys were asked to donate a cake they had made. Some of the boys made desserts, but clearly some of the parents helped out as well. Pretty sure this guy's mom helped him out juuuuuust a [...]
I'm late in posting this, but let's pretend it actually came out on Saturday... One of my favorite crafting endeavors is to digitally scrapbook. I have been scrapbooking in some form for a long time. I started way back when we had to go to specialty stores to get acid free paper. Mrs. Grossman's stickers [...]
I spent the last week volunteering at Cub Scout Day Camp. Acroboy is in his last year of Cub Scouts as a Webelo. The crafts weren't too hard for the most part, but when you are trying to teach several groups of boys of varying abilities and ages, it can become tricky. The first [...]
