It’s been a couple of months since we got Jacob’s initial diagnosis of autism and ADHD and I wanted to do an update on where we currently are. We have been on a steep learning curve the last several months and even though we are currently in a bit of a lull, more learning experiences …
Summer 2020 Schoolhouse
Thoughts this Summer Our summer schoolhouse embraced a “school-lite” atmosphere and it was really great (for the most part). I needed a wee bit of a break. The very first week of June we received Jacob’s diagnosis and I have spent a ridiculous amount of time filling out paperwork and being on the phone working …
Watercoloring
I have always been a big believer in goals. Goals are powerful. I try to make it a regular occurrence to reflect on my current goals and make more goals. The last several months I have begun to sit down with Jacob periodically to talk about HIS goals. It’s been a wonderful thing. I love …
Jacob’s Baptism
This was a very special day. I am still pinching myself that I have a child old enough to be baptized. But next to the day Jacob was born, this was probably the happiest day of my life as Jacob’s mom. I didn’t anticipate what an emotional day it would be. My cup was just …
Jacob’s 8th Birthday
Eight years old. I cannot believe it! This boy brings us so much joy and is an incredible blessing to our lives. We love him so much and were so happy to celebrate HIM. Jacob got up and going first thing and instead of doing the breakfast we planned – he said he wanted donuts! …

We also want to share with family and friends so that there is hopefully a greater understanding. AND …
Jacob Scott
The world feels a little heavy right now and I am so grateful to turn my thoughts and attention to this little man…Jacob Scott. The truth is, Jacob is becoming less a little man and more a bigger man every day. I cannot believe how quickly he is growing up. One thing that I am …
{RECAP} February 2020 Schoolhouse
I feel like we have really hit our stride this winter with the flow of our day. It has really been great and it is encouraging as we move forward. That is…until a couple months when I am sure we will have to adapt some more because that’s life. BUT…right now, we are doing pretty …
{RECAP} January 2020 Schoolhouse
January was a bit of a flop for us with the exception of SCHOOL! We had a great month filled with learning! We are feeling a little cooped up…the wind is just brutal here and makes even short walks pretty unenjoyable. But we have high hopes for February! This month, though, I have had many …
