Mighty Mom Monday: “Potty Training 101-102”

Mighty Mom Monday: “10 Special Blessings”

When a family finds out that one of its members has special needs, it can be easy to panic. Some couples even go so far as to contemplate abortion when they find out they are carrying a Down Syndrome or other special needs child (or, worse, go through with that terrible choice).

My oldest has a speech delay (among other things). One day out of the blue he started walking around saying “I’m […]
