Okay so this is my second year being Gluten Free. I have some really good recipes and some new ones I tried this year and failed. I need to find a good sugar recipe for my daughter. My attempt failed. Uggh!!! So if anyone out there reads my blog and has a good one let me know. I haven't found a really good one yet. Someday I hope to have a hang of it all. My kids are totally gluten free, but I will be making it totally over starting after Christmas for my health and to be a great example to my children.
On a side note after the holidays, we will be going sugar free and using agave and honey entirely to bake and use with tea and such. We will see how it works.
Praising Him Joyfully,

Special Needs Moms Rock
Special needs moms rock:
1. Because they never thought that "doing it all" would mean doing this much. But they do it all, and then some.
2. Because they've discovered patience they never knew they had.
3. Because they are willing to do something 10 times, 1,000 times if that's what it takes for their kids to learn something new.
4. Because they have heard doctors tell them the worst, and they ref...used to believe them.
5. Because they have bad days and breakdowns and bawl fests, then they pick themselves up and keep right on going.
6. Because they manage to get themselves together and out the door looking pretty damn good. Heck, they even make sweatpants look attractive.
7. Because they are strong. Who knew they could be this strong?
8. Because they aren't just mums, wives, cleaners, chauffeurs, cooks and women who work. They are also physical therapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, teachers, nurses, researchers, coaches and cheerleaders.
9. Because they understand their kids better than anyone else does - even if they can't talk or gesture or look them in the eye. They know. They just know.
10. Because just when it seems like things are going OK, they're suddenly not, but they deal. They deal even when it seems like their heads or hearts might explode.
11. Because when they look at their kids they just see great kids. Not kids with CHD/cerebral palsy/PCH/autism/Down syndrome/ADHD/developmental delay/whatever label. ♥

Christmas Wishes and Evaluation of the year
It's been awhile since I have been on. A lot has changed in my life the past 6 months. First, I have been homeschooling for 6 years and my oldest entered into high school. She is still homeschooling and loves it. My son is going to be officially tested for Asperger's at the beginning of 2012 will continue to be home schooled too. So we will see. I went back to work part-time working for an awesome employer, Homeschool Connections as a monitor. I absolutely love it.
God is sending me on a different journey than I was going to go on. I was planning to start teaching online again and still might do that, but He is calling me on a journey he started me on in third grade--Writing. It is scary thing to process. As the Blessed Mother said," The Almighty has done Great Things." Nothing is impossible for God. My son has me back on this quest, Asperger's has become front and center lately. In prayer today, I got my answer. I will write about it in another blog. Great things are to come.
I have a Christmas Wish for you all a safe and healthy Christmas and New Year.
I want to wish all my Jewish friends a Happy Hanukkah!
I wish everyone a very Blessed Christmas! For those on the other side of the Atlantic Have a Happy Christmas!
Please Remember that Christmas is Christmas because of Christ who dwells in us.
Praising Him Joyfully,
Noelle
