My first blog! Ok, I decided for my first I should say a little more about myself. I am originally from Ohio and moved here about a year after my husband and I got married. We lived in DC until I get pregnant with my first baby. We bought a house in Maryland (they accepted the offer the day my son was born!) and have been here 5 years. I have 2 beautiful boys; Jacob is 5 1/2 and Christopher will be 4 in a couple of weeks. (They are almost 18 months apart to the day).

I became a stay-at-home mom after Jacob was diagnosed with Autism. We decided it would be best for him (and me and Christopher) for me to spend more time at home with him, helping him be all that he can be. It has made a world of difference. By the time he was 3 he started talking and he has made leaps and bounds ever since. (We have also had a team of wonderful therapists and teachers helping us but… more on that later, lest this become a 15 page first post!)

That’s the short version… but, I think that’s enough for now. I am not exactly sure how this works… I am just going to go about this whatever way works best for me. I might post a couple of times through the day and there may be some days I don’t post anything. (But, I love to share stories about my boys so I doubt that will happen often.)

Having said that, welcome to my blog! I hope I can make some of you smile along the way.
