While looking on the internet for 2e research, I came across the Gifted Homeschoolers Forum site (giftedhomeschoolers.org). I was amazed at the number of resources and knew that I had come across a site that I would re-visit often. The really amazing part to me, was when I saw that my blog was listed as … Continue reading
Calling Nanny McPhee!!
Okay working parents…I’m sure you understand the stress and anxiety when you hear that your nanny is leaving! Yes…sigh…We are losing our nanny. My son attended this nanny’s preschool and when class sizes dropped, she needed a new job. The timing was perfect for us and there was little transition needed because she was a … Continue reading
Kreativ Blogger Nomination
I have an apology to make! During the end of May, I was nominated for the Kreativ Blogger Award by a very talented blogger. I emailed her and said thank you, but I didn’t really understand what it meant. After all, I was brand new to blogging (starting my blog on May 5th) and I didn’t understand all the … Continue reading
“About Me” Make Over?
I was looking at the “home” page of my site and realized that things were really changing. First, my son is turning 7 years old. When I say this outloud, I am flooded with memories… -getting the phone call from the hospital and holding him for the first time -watching him breathe while he slept (which I … Continue reading
Green Shirt and Working Parents
Just after I posted “Mother Guilt,” we received an email from my TBP’s teacher announcing a slide show and portfolio celebration. Sigh…More guilt already? This soon? As a teacher, I understand the desire to share students work and achievements with the parent community. I am sure that this was the intent of the teacher when she … Continue reading

Boredom and Bathrooms
Okay Readers…I am requesting feedback on two issues that are currently discussed at our house…Boredom and Bathrooms! Let me explain… Ever since our TBP was young, he despised being bored! Riding in the car or waiting at a restaurant were both scenerios where we could have an anxious and impatient little boy! In an attempt … Continue reading
Go ahead… Breathe!
When you parent a 2e child, you find yourself holding your breath all the time! Maybe others don’t, but I do. For example, I hoped that mine would act appropriately at a work picnic. Barely breathing, I kept an eagle eye on him…and then the moment happens. From a distance, I see him chase a … Continue reading
Mother Guilt
Can you be a mother without overflowing amounts of guilt? I wish that I could say yes, but…I don’t think it is possible. Somedays, I start the morning with feelings of guilt because I am a working parent. There are days, when I feel bad knowing that my son doesn’t have a parent taking him … Continue reading
Dr. C. Therapist #3
In the last two years, we saw three different therapists…all of them more than once. Each of these qualified experts, enlightened us with new information and a fresh perspective. Dr. S (therapist #2) did a wonderful job of “talking us off the ledge” when we were in crisis mode. She focused on the most critical … Continue reading
