#Autism Parents: 4 Tips for Moving Somewhere Where You Don’t Know Anyone

I've talked about wanting to move for years. We need a bigger house and I'd like to be a bit farther away from the city, but there are so many things to consider before moving, especially when you have children with a diverse set of needs. Over the years I've talked to so many parents who found themselves in a position where moving was necessary but didn't know anyone at their new location. That can be scary and overwheming to say the least. You might be asking yourself, why would someone move to a place where they don't know anyone? The reality is that sometimes families have to move in order to locate services that their child needs. I've been asked many times for advice on how to handle situations…

The power of self-care

Guys, I'm feeling really good. I've been hitting the gym almost every morning and I'm so proud of myself for sticking to it. I thought it was going to be hard to get back into it after suffering a major back injury and stepping away for so long. Turns out I was hooked after my first time back. It's kinda like riding a bike. I do have an amazing workout partner and that certainly helps to be able to both support and encourage each other. It's pretty awesome actually. This morning I ended up working out alone but I still showed up and still gave it my all. I'm not gonna lie, I feel pretty fucking amazing and I'm finding myself becoming more comfortable in my own skin. I've come…

The Nooie Cam 360 (REVIEW)

I'm gonna be brief with this because there isn't a tremendous amount that needs to be said. I've been testing out the $50 Nooie 360 Camera for a few weeks now and it's unbelievably awesome. The Nooie Cam 360 is a wireless indoor camera that records and streams in 1080p. The camera can record to the cloud or micro SD card that inserts right underneath the camera ball itself. This camera can be triggered by motion and/or sound and works crazy well in the dark due to its night vision feature. There's also 2 way audio so you can easily use it as a monitor for your kids. The Nooie Cam 360 rotates and pans up and down. The camera will track, record can follow motion. While some people want…

Time To Learn The Beauty Of Watching And Travelling On Trains

Traveling by train across any part of the world is a very popular thing, both among locals and among tourists. Today especially in Europe, the train and the history of the train is an incredible phenomenon. When we think of trains, we either envision the old steam trains or the new bullet trains that we see across parts of Asia. Both are impeccable in their design and style. In Europe, the interrail has been popular with tourists. It’s important to know too, that trains are actually incredibly sustainable. Here’s how. According to afar.com, “Trains translate into 70 percent fewer emissions for a rail journey when compared to a short-haul flight and about half the emissions for a rail journey when compared to a long-haul flight.” Most of us have grown…

AirMax8L Air Purifier by Okaysou (REVIEW)

Okaysou sent me one of their AirMax8L Air Purifier to test out and judge for myself how they work. It includes two filters, washable pre-filter, removes 99.97% of air pollutants like dust, smoke, pollen, pet dander, hair, and even odors from rooms up to 800 square feet. I was excited to give this a try because we live in a house that's over a century old. There's no end to the dust in a house this old. I've been looking at air purifier for mold for awhile, especially since we've been in lockdown. I set this up in our dining room and let it run for the last month. I largely forgot about it because it was tucked away in the corner. After using this for a solid month, I…

5 Ways To Deal With Anxiety As A Parent

Kids are much more perceptive than we think. That means they can often pick up on exactly how we are thinking, just by looking at us - no matter how hard we try to keep those feelings to ourselves. As a result, we must find healthy ways to deal with our emotions - so that we can continue to support our kids while also taking care of our mental health. Photo by Juliane Liebermann on Unsplash As a parent, many different things could leave you feeling anxious.
