Sidewalk chalk!
Using a sidewalk chalk may look silly or easy but this is one activity my special one hasn’t done at all. Scribbling on the wall is a much easier option than scribbling on a concrete floor. Today morning a facilitator posted a nature walk task on their program fb page. The task being to collect […]

Summer Picnic
Today I already had a planned activity. My son attended his beginning of summer party organized by his program. Food, music, fun and games are all part of a party.

Glasses
It is a truth I need to accept. I need my reading glasses all the time. I needed a comforter and while shopping I couldn’t read if it was queen or king size, leave alone the tiny prints the manufacturer doesn’t want me to read. The past few years I have started watching Television more […]
