Luke’s Secrets and Lies, by Megy Davis
My daughter and I set out to read Luke’s Secrets and Lies, by Megy Davis this morning. Both of us devoured the book in a couple of hours. From page one, Davis pulls you into the story and the characters. My biggest pet peeve is a book with lifeless, two-dimensional characters. However, even the secondary
Two Great Children’s Books
Wacky Wishes, by Susette Williams A cute little story about a brother and sister that discover a wishing well. As children do, the wishes get fanciful and funnier as the story progresses.

It’s a Little Drafty in Here
Sorry I haven’t posted my usual ramblings lately. I have sat down and written two posts, but they are sitting in draft mode. They are thoughts that are weighing heavy on me…things I am struggling with, but unable to let go of. I have always felt blessed, even in the midst of struggles. Because, to
Chores – There’s an app for that!
As a parent of an ASD child, schedules, charts and the like are a regular part of my daughter’s life. If I don’t make them for her, she will make her own. Lately, I’ve been struggling with getting the kids to do their chores. I found three apps for the iPad that not only create
Marriage Tips I’ve Divined from Psych
Psych returns next week, and I just adore that show. So much so that my youngest named her game avatar MC Clap Your Hands. The show is full of deliciously wonderful quotes that I could go on for weeks. However, I will contain myself to only a few of my favorites, and possibly a little
