@VivintHome is giving away 4 free SmartHome systems in honor of #Autism Awareness month

I wanted to take a second and share something really amazing that my good friends at Vivint Home are doing in honor of Autism Awareness month. They're giving away four (4) free SmartHome systems in the month of April. (see below for details) I've spoken about this countless times before. There is no way to completely eliminate the risk of a child with Autism from wandering or escaping the house. This is a widely accepted fact that keeps many of us up at night, there are things you can do to limit the risk of your child getting out of the house and wandering away. How can Vivint's SmartHome system help prevent wandering? https://youtu.be/fhOFiycKx4w Who's eligible and how do I enter? Any North American household with at least one member…

Shipping the kids off tonight

The boys has a meds check this morning at their pediatrician. They were a bit of a handful but considering we were there for a total of two hours, I think they actually did quite awesome. ☺ Everything checks out with the boys and meds were refilled. Both Elliott and Emmett's idiopathic fevers were once again documented. There's nothing we can do about them but documentation is very important. As for the rest of the day, I have a few errands to run before the boys leave to spend the night at my parents house. If all goes as planned, we will have the first night off, since our trip to Florida. I think that's right. Either way, it's been forever and we desperately need it. For awhile now, at…

It was a hellacious day but filled with small blessings

Yesterday was a complete disaster but still managed to have some high points and things I'm grateful for. The day began like any other, with appointments to be at. This time it was the oral surgeon for Lizze. She needed to have two teeth pulled and this was simply supposed to be a consult, before scheduling the surgery. Lizze wanted to be sedated for the procedure and that needed to be scheduled. The address on the paperwork reflected an address about forty minutes away. We dropped the boys off at their Grandparents and hauled ass through rush hour traffic, making it there quite early. When our appointment time rolled around and the office was still closed, we figured something was wrong. Turns out there are two locations, one is about…

This is the current view from my front window Thought I would share my literal point of view right now. This is what I see as I look out my front window. Nothing spectacular but it's sometimes interesting to see life from someone else's perspective. ☺

Initial reactions and unboxing the Mar+ Smart Mattress by @Eight Sleep

I've shared on a social media a few times that we were getting ready to review a really exciting piece of sleep technology. That sleep tech comes in the form of the Mars+ Smart Mattress by Eight Sleep. Eight Sleep sent us a king size Mars+ Smart Mattress, in exchange for honest feedback about how the mattress and sleep technology improved or impacted our quality of sleep. This first video is simply a reaction video. It shows what's in the box and how the initial setup went. Another video will follow after we've spent some time sleeping on the new mattress. It's important to note that it can take a little while for our bodies to adjust to a new mattress. For now, check out our initial reactions. ☺ After…
