How To Create Your Master "Peace"

http://www.autismcommunitymagazine.com/magazine/

If you want some peace and quiet or if you want some more fun in your home, I invite you to read my article. I write for the quarterly magazine Autism Community and there is a lot of good info and inspiration throughout the magazine.

Congratulations, Mr. Barone!

Our son's teacher, Mr. Barone, has been awarded Teacher of the Year at Oakwood Intermediate School. He is our son's Autism program teacher and we are soooo grateful for all of his patience, positive reinforcers, and the way he cherishes our son. Mr. Barone also sets tremendous academic and behavior goals that make it possible for our son to enjoy performing at a high level. Thank you, Mr. Barone!!!

Lowe's Accessible Home Solutions

Have you ever tried to get around after an injury or during an illness? My experience as an Occupational Therapist and as someone who has gone through surgeries and injuries that limit mobility, I highly recommend you check out Lowe's Accessible Department. So much energy is needed to do the daily self-care activities that adding environmental obstacles makes self-care a full time job. Why not limit the obstacles and spend your time and energy recovering and even enjoying time with others...or with a hobby? What are some of your solutions and experiences??

I wish we could go as a family to a giant event like March Madness...but Adam would probably have a seizure if we took him!

March Madness in Full Swing!

I love this time of year...all the basketball you can possibly watch with surprise endings and lots of intense competition. Are you filling out your brackets??

Bose Headphones: A great way to make daily chores fun

Blogger: QCharm Cares for Caregivers - Create post


Yes, even washing dishes and folding laundry can be fun...if you crank up your favorite music and listen to it with your Bose headphones. Ken (my husband) just bought these for his plane trip and let me try them. The sound quality made me want to spend extra time in the kitchen:o)

Today Show/Scotto Pasta Recipe

Because I have been ill since the 1st week of February, I have been doing the least amount of housework/meal prep as possible. So when I saw this recipe on the Today Show this am, I thought, "even I can do this tonight!" I love the idea of melting butter in a pan then sauteing pepper and finally adding pasta-boil water. How easy is that?! What are your favorite recipes and short cuts you use when you are exhausted?
