Peyton and I spend a lot of time outside during the warmer months. One of our favorite things to do is go and see movies in the parks around town. It's a great way to get outside, spend some quality family time together, see friends and watch a movie. But the one thing I have noticed every single time we go to the movies is we need something to sit on! That's where the Monkey Mat would come in handy. And guess what? We will be reviewing one later this month or early August! But right now all my ...
Butterfly Peanut Butter and Jelly Bento Box
Today is a big day for Peyton at camp so I'm packing a little larger lunch than normal. Peyton is also on a peanut butter and jelly kick so I packed her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich cut into the shape of a butterfly.Peyton also has an obsession with pretzel sticks so I decided to send those along with her too today.

Turkey and Cheese Sushi Bento Box
We still have that smashed loaf of bread so as I'm still making "sushi" sandwiches for Peyton. Today I decided to use some thinly sliced turkey breast and thinly sliced Colby Jack cheese for the filling. Because you are rolling the bread you only need one or two slices of turkey and a slice of cheese. If you put too much in, you won't be able to roll it and it'll fall apart. Once you have the bread rolled take a sharp knife and slice the roll into 3-5 pieces depending on size of bento box and ...
The Life We Never Expected
The Life We Never Expected was written by Andrew and Rachel Wilson. The typical married couple that have two children, however, their children are regressive autistic. Not something you think about when you decide to have children. I don't think there is a parent alive that plans for a child with disabilities. When you're pregnant it's all about having a baby!
