As a homeschool mama to a recent Kindergarten graduate, here’s the curriculum I recommend, as well as additional resources. For Kindergarteners, I recommend focusing on teaching language arts (specifically reading and writing) and math. This is the building block of everything else. You can always do simple unit studies for science and social studies. This is what worked best for my family, so sharing it all here.

My son was diagnosed on the spectrum at 3 years old and has been in ABA therapy since then through an amazing center.

This will also allow your kiddo to engage in independent verbal cues without without the assistance of an RBT or BCBA.

From sleep and feeding to skincare and on-the-go essentials, this list is practical, realistic, and mom-tested. If you’re preparing for a baby or already in the thick of it, start here. You don’t need everything — just the right things.
I am on the hunt for Christmas presents for my large extended family this year that are eco-friendly, useful, and budget friendly as well! Most of these are under $100, use recycled or recyclable materials, and are things adults and kids will actually use. We're all watching our wallets, so I am looking more for practicality than just decorative things….although a little bit of luxury might sneak in! I've also added some things I really like for plastic free decorating, handmade gift ideas that aren't terrible (no cake in a cup, thank you!) and two sections for Christmas entertaining for small and large families. I really love Christmas, and hope you enjoy this collection! I'll be adding to it weekly, right up to the big day!

As a teacher turned stay at home mom, here are some great gifts that will really go to use! We never expect gifts, but if you’re going to spend the money, make it something they will love. And a handwritten note from your child is the icing on the cake 🎂
Our home is mostly screen free and the tonie box has been our best investment. He got it for Christmas when he was 2.5. Every holiday he normally gets a new tonie (Easter basket, boo basket, stocking stuffer, birthday). I LOVE how these can grow with his changes. Our daughter is almost 11 months and she’s already learned how to use it herself. She picks her own tonie out & puts it on. I can’t wait for her to get her own and girly tonies 🥹 so worth the investment 🫶🏼

It took me so long to decide on a theme for my baby boys nursery! I was super indecisive.
