A Moment in a Life with Autism

Boy in the woods

It is 10 am. Snack time. Toys litter the floor like a colourful, haphazard obstacle course. “Sweetheart, it is snack time. Do you want a banana or a fruit bar?” A small boy looks up, wide-eyed, thoughtful. A tuft of hair, golden in the morning light, sticks up from his crown. His mother flattens it… Read More

Comforting Little Ones – Hygge Baby Kit Giveaway

Hygge Baby Kit Giveaway with Infacol

The toughest time for parents can be when their children are poorly, injured or just plain inconsolable. Both my children suffered with colic and reflux but Littlest had a particularly tough time. She was born screaming and did not really stop for nearly a full year. Every afternoon, at around 2 pm, it would start.… Read More

Paper Flowers Craft for Imaginary Play

Paper Flowers Craft for Imaginary Play

Littlest loves flowers. Whenever we have any in the house she is always asking to be lifted up to touch them. It can be a little dangerous though, as fresh flowers are usually in glass vases full of water. In addition, it is not always practical or sensible to let a two year-old play with… Read More

The reason I burst into tears in my son’s future school this morning

Biggest on the Malvern Hills

When you are the parent of a child with autism, it easy to feel alone. It is easy to feel like there is no one else who is truly on your side, no one else as dedicated to fighting your child’s corner. Through no fault of their own, friends and relatives do not fully appreciate… Read More

That is how motherhood struck for me. In the last few months of my pregnancy, I was anxious,… Read More
