Navigating Cedar Point Amusement Park with a Special Needs Child

Recently, Peyton and I attended a conference in Sandusky, Ohio. While we were there I decided to make some time to take her to Cedar Point Amusement Park. Peyton loves roller coasters and all things Snoopy so I thought it would be a great way to spend a little family fun time together on a working trip. But what I didn't think about, was how I was going to navigate a foreign area that I knew nothing about with my special needs child. Peyton is on the spectrum, her disability is invisible, so ...

Scary Stories To Tell in the Dark – Arrives on Digital October 22

I'm going to be honest, this is not a movie I was able to see in the theater. I do not get much free time without Peyton and this is not a movie that would be a good fit for her. It's an adult movie that is meant to excite, scare and thrill the viewer. So, in my opinion, it's for the older crowd, high schoolers and up.  It is rated R so not intended for the little ones. Here's a little background on the film - It’s 1968 in America. Change is blowing in the wind…but seemingly far removed ...
