Beautiful, but no, NEVER, really…you could not pay me enough.  *shudder*

You know those foot pads that are supposed to rid your body of toxins?  Interesting discussion of it.

For the frugal:  The Grocery Game  I had been hearing about it but never went to the site.  Looks interesting. 

For those interested in vaccine issues, a huge scandal at Merck, one of the main manufacturers:  http://www.fda.gov/foi/warning_letters/s6756c.pdf

A company I really like (and several of my therapists rely on) is being attacked by Mattel:  Small Special Education Company Battles Mattel Over Right to Use the Words “AND SAY” on Its Products

I thought this was interesting…charts that show what people are spending on groceries, updated monthly.

 

eta:

I am going to add one more rather than starting a new post:  3-Year-Old Has Never Fallen Asleep.  Wow.  Zane never slept more than 3-4 hours in any given 24-48 hour period until he was between 3 and 4, and I thought that was bad.  I can’t even imagine how sleep deprived those parents are.  I really think that the sleep deprivation affected my ability to really understand what was going on in those early years.  I just felt like I was a terrible parent and stopped sharing how bad it was with people.  I know now that lack of ability to sleep is fairly common in autism, but I didn’t know it then and blamed myself.

    Hi there! I’m Jeanie and I just wanted to say that you have a really cute page! I am a future SpEd teacher and am just kind of looking around for groups here to have a better understanding of a parents point of view on things! I am a para in a low-income area right now and alot of the parents in the area are very disengaged from their childs disability. Anyway, Hello and I hope to talk more with you soon!

    well, that food cost chart makes me feel better… We are a family of 4 with older, school-aged children and we spend about $800 a month. I knew I was NOT being thrifty or frugal with our grocery budget, but according to the chart we are respectably somewhere between “low cost” and “Moderate.” ;)
