Food. Family. Fun.
We’ve started trying to add to Baguette’s movie preferences. We had no luck with Cinderella (she only likes “The Work Song”) or Sleeping Beauty, and Lilo & Stitch got no reaction at all. We tried non-Disney (or at least previously-not-from… Read moreRediscovering Disney: The Little Mermaid
“Normal” is open to interpretation. That’s true for every family, but I’ve really come to understand the concept better since Baguette’s autism diagnosis. Actually, I knew it before her diagnosis–but that’s what made it okay for me to say openly… Read moreOur New Normal (For Now)
