Texoma with Kids

Sensory Play is ON! Emma is on speech therapy and occupational therapy. As part of our “homework”, I would like to share some of our favorite sensory play activities, so you can add to your list as well! I personally recommend you schedule times of the day or days of the week that your kid…

As you, I often ask: how are we going to be healthier when healthy food is so expensive? Think about all the dollar meals on the drive thru you will never be able to beat on the organic supermarket aisle… Fear not, there are numerous ways we can all save money on our monthly grocery…

Let’s talk about Autism. When you say the word Autism outloud, what or who comes to your mind? I bet you think about Sheldon or Rain Man or even Mr. Monk*. We watch them and relate with their struggles, odd behaviors, limitations. We have fun with them, because they have few or no social cues…

If you want a From-Scratch Thanksgiving, start early by selecting the recipes you want to make and put together a master shopping list. If you don’t want to buy it all at once, look for better deals and buy the nonperishables first. If family is coming, don’t be shy and share the load. We all…

We started a new tradition last year for Thanksgiving. We were working a lot, super tired, and thanks to the end of the year bonus, we were able to do something nice for ourselves – so we decided to life-hack Thanksgiving and make things easy. First, housecleaning. We found a reliable and budget-friendly company and…

Live in your strengths… I have recently changed jobs. It sounds very exciting (and it is!) but also very scary. I am not very fond of being stuck in comfort zones. I am always looking for the next thing, the next project, the next deadline, so it just made sense, but the butterfly sensation in…
