why make it when you can buy it?

Several weeks back I posted an awesome craft that I was totally gonna do.

Someday.

Then…I stumbled on a premade version at everybody’s fave discount supply store…

Because Oriental Trading Co. seriously has everything.

Including a set of 12 make your own brain hats for just ten buckaroos!

a different kind of muscle — guardianship process

To all the parents who have walked through the guardianship process — my heart is with you. Our paperwork is prepped and ready to submit this week. He turns 18 on April 3rd. I've been thinking about this for a year now, but only just mustered the energy to move forward — the loom of his birthday my propellant. Overwhelm has paralyzing effect.

That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight. Tomorrow at the latest. That no one has been lied to. That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

A dozen questions are unearthed. Remember our whole ARX saga ? Yeah...that threw me for a loop. So much so...that I never went on to post the end of the story. Thus far... See...the unbelievable in the world of genes happened. Because this is IS-ville after all. After Dr. Genes sampled Trevy's ARX gene on a whim...a whim which revealed an unkown (meaning the first time this specific change was found) mild mutation...she proceeded to send Toby's blood off to mad scientist central. With assurances that this was totally unnecessary . She was convinced that Trevor's ARX mutation was the underlying cause of his Infantile Spasms. And that Typical Toby...would prove to be just that. Typical...at least in all areas mutate-able. And yet...Toby's ARX blood sample revealed THE SAME MIL...

happy being trevy
