Several things have become “hard to find” items in the grocery store. One that we use a lot is microwave popcorn and since we are watching multiple movies right now (and who can watch a movie without eating popcorn?!)–this is an essential item in our home. If you are in a similar crisis–here is a…
Last week I told you about the beginnings of our older son, Morgan’s journey with ADHD ( you can read that here). He was officially diagnosed 4 years ago and we’ve been on quite the up and down hill adventure since. We had such good results putting him on a low dose of Adderall and…
