Guess who just showed up at my door? That's right, it was FedEx.  What where they carrying? You guessed it, tablets.  Who are these tablets for? My readers! I just received $1,000 worth of donated tablets from Idolain, with the expressed purpose of reviewing one and giving the rest away to my amazing readers.  These are brand new models and stack up almost spec to spec with the iPad mini.  I'm so excited to give these away.  Right now, my plans are to give 3 away online and one to a local family.  I'll be working with out OT to identify a family that would benefit most from this.  Also,  Lizze might host one of the 3 online giveaways as well.  Stay tuned and check back frequently because I will…

Emmett managed to drag me away from work again this morning. He just had to play hide and seek. After a little bit of prodding from Emmett, combined with my weak resolve, we were playing games video and go seek.  I have to admit that while I should have been working, it was fun to play with him.  :-) Can you find Emmett in the picture below?

Emmett is a fickle pickle when it comes to eating.  His food has to be perfect or he won't even think about eating it.  However, he will rarely ever say no to pudding, especially chocolate pudding.  Do your kids have a favorite food? Is there something that you can fall back on when they refuse to eat anything else?

I wanted to you all a line and let you know how Gavin's evaluation went today.  To sum it up in one word, awesome. The woman that did our evaluation was one of the nicest people I've ever met and one of the few people who seemed to really get it. Ya'll can probably relate to how amazing it feels when you meet someone that actually gets it. Gavin did awesome today as well.  He was really polite and patient throughout the lengthy interview.  I'm really proud of him and I made sure he knew it.  I guess we just need to wait for all the paperwork to go through.  We can go ahead and add this to the wind column.

This morning, I was using our 2 year old Sunbeam therapeutic heating pad for my back. I had it set on a medium setting and I had it flat up against my lower back. I had my pillow behind me for lumbar support. Within a few minutes of turning the heating pad on, I began to smell what I thought was an electrical fire. The smell wasn't to bad at first and it went away but got worse after about 10 minutes of using the heating pad. We unplugged it just to be safe. I got up to go put the heating pad away so that it didn't get used again. Upon standing up, this is what I found. The heating pad appears to have caught fire or was at…

I thought that I would lighten things up just a little bit today by sharing some Cute Pet Pics. In this picture we have Elliott's kitten Greysha, sleeping next to Emmett's dog Bella.  This is the first time this has happened, because they are still getting used to each other. I thought this was totally adorable and wanted to share.  :-) This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile. Please forgive any typos.
