Sharing your life on social media can be so rewarding at times. Helping other families, educating about autism, bringing awareness, has changed my life. Honestly, this is my purpose. I don’t’ want any other parent to feel alone on this journey…like I did in the beginning.

But, with the good comes other parts too. And often, I truly feel like I am being scolded a thousand times over by people.

I try to remember though; people are only seeing a 5-minute glimpse into our lives. That’s not much.

A few days ago, I brought my oldest to the Zoo. It was wonderful. It was needed. It was perfect.

As I shared, the questions started coming.

Why didn’t you bring your other kids to the zoo?

Here is my why.

Thank you for being here!

And give me a follow on Youtube as you watch so you can see all of my updates.
