{SQT} Piano, Party, And School Prep Without Pep
Homeschooling . Seven Quick TakesWell, I had three potential topics for this week, NONE of which panned out the way I expected.

What Has Helped Me On My Journey As a Special Needs Mom
Parenting . SMA PostsYesterday Fulton turned 10. T! E! N!

{SQT} Midday Edition
Seven Quick Takes1. Tuesday night I went to the last homeschool mom’s social of the year. Despite trying to leave several times, I arrived home way too late for my usual 5:30 a.m. alarm. It’s another sign of my approaching 40th birthday that it’s taking me all week to catch up from that one crazy evening out.
