… [read more]I’ve been trying to tackle my son’s acne for months now. He still has breakouts and I am also trying to prevent scarring! We found two brands that offer gentle acne help for the family and beyond!
When it comes to our beauty products, I try to choose natural and cruelty-free. I want products that are gentle and safe for the whole family!
… [read more]A few years ago, I was looking for relief for our situation. My son has Autism and there are times when he gets overwhelmed, stressed, and could have a meltdown. To help calm him down, I started looking into CBD products. First, we tried CBD gummies and tinctures. However, I didn’t see any difference at all. I gave up. However, years later, I was desperate. We’re excited to share a basic introduction to CBD and hemp health!
As a special needs mom, I prefer to try natural remedies. I didn’t want to use medication because there are so many side effects! I wanted to try CBD again!
… [read more]When schools first closed, I realized I needed to keep up with school lessons and I wanted us to stay somewhat active. I bought a few art supplies and balls for us to play with! I made a few lessons for him to do each day and even incorporated little games where we tossed a ball to each other. Since we’ve been home for months, I’ve been adding games and trying to stay motivated with everything. We gathered items to explore your artsy and adventurous side indoors!
Since we prefer to stay home, which works since it’s keeping us safe with COVID, I wanted my son to try more art projects and find ways to be creative!

Add COVID, Quarantine, masks, distance learning, assessments over zoom, assessments at school and now I’m finally feeling the stress. Everything seems to be happening at once. I found that weighted blankets will help! Give yourself a hug during stressful times!
Last year, I received a few weighted blankets that I was very grateful for. I loved the idea of a removable cover, so I could wash them whenever I wanted. However, I quickly realized what a hassle it can be to remove the cover and then try to put the cover back on. And even when I got the cover back on, the insert would pull to one side or even end up at the foot of the bed. The blanket rarely stayed in place inside the cover!
… [read more]My son is a teen with Autism. He started ABA therapy just before schools closed due to Coronavirus. Since he started ABA, I’ve been slowly adding toys to our household. Before, we didn’t have any toys because he would destroy them, throw them down the toilet, or throw them away! However, they use board games in his therapy! I found some cool toys that are perfect for children with Autism and beyond! Let’s take a look at toys that teach!Â
I am so thankful I found an ABA Therapy company as it was a very difficult journey. I had to find a company that had openings, took our insurance, and served his age group! I found this to be very difficult. I called and emailed several companies over a period of a few years. There were times when I got discouraged because I always received a “no.â€Â
… [read more]I have been cleaning with natural and eco-friendly products for years! I believe it was inspired by my own experiences and after having my son. Do you use natural cleaning products? Now that we are living in quarantine and being reminded to clean around the home and beyond, what do you use to clean? How do you keep your household healthy? We share how to naturally defend your home and lifestyle!
I am all for using natural products around our home. I remember distinctly before I had my son and even when I was pregnant, I used store bought cleaners to clean the bathroom with. After cleaning the tub and sink, I remember feeling a bit dizzy and my asthma was triggered!
… [read more]I don’t remember how I heard about elderberry but I’ve been using it for over two years. Now that we’ve been going through our new normal with the Coronavirus and being aware of washing our hands, using hand sanitizer, etc I feel like I’ve been preparing for this for awhile now! I am so excited to show you a delicious way to keep your family healthy!

I am so grateful that Sambucol® offers a variety of ways to take elderberry! As a mom to a child with special needs, I am well aware he will not take many over-the-counter medicines or even prescription medication. When it comes to his vitamins, we have always had him take gummy vitamins! They taste great and they are like candy to him.
… [read more]I love using natural products around our home! I also use natural beauty products as much as possible. While I am not perfect, I do try to buy natural when my budget allows. I am always looking for ways for us to stay healthy naturally! Let’s talk natural products!
I discovered two brands that I am so excited to share with you! I’ve never heard of either, so they are worth checking out! Not only that, they are incredibly affordable!
… [read more]Being a single mom is tough. Being a single mom to a child with Autism and special needs is even more tough. Now, imagine being a single mom to a teen boy!
I have no help with childcare, raising my son, or anything. His father chooses not to be involved.
So, going through raising a teen boy is tough. I have no one to turn to when it comes to advice or how to handle issues that arise. We share 3 must haves for teen boys!
Raising a teen boy on my own is a learning experience. Not only does my son not have a male role model, or male influence, it’s tough on me too. I never know what type of clothing and underclothing to buy for him. His body is changing too.
