Your Favorite Autism Books?
Image credit: Photo by chotda on Flickr Licensed under Creative Commons I'm having a bit of an overwhelming week here and am off my usual posting schedule. But while I'm off working on my real life, I thought some of you all could help out a friend who recently e-mailed to say that a child [...]
Updated Blogroll
Image credit: Photo by maher berro on Flickr Licensed under Creative Commons My blogroll was long overdue for a makeover. As you all know, the rules are: comment regularly and ye shall be put on the blogroll. But oh, what a headache to keep track of all that myself! Enter a neat little piece of [...]
DOH!

I can smell my pie baking and hear my kids playing (or rather, not actively fighting) and it's about time for me to get out of my flour-covered sweats and into something more presentable.

Image credit: Photo by jek in the box on Flickr Licensed under Creative Commons Welcome to ARoomOfMamasOwn.com, you all. It was a painstaking process, but I've moved everything over from the old mamampj.blogspot.com address. If you are on my blogroll, I had to update all the links by hand. The blogroll is for regular commenters, [...]
