    Cooking with Sawyer

    Yesterday was a pretty chill day. There was a heat advisory here and Sawyer and I were both really tired, so we chose to stay home. I watched the live stream of church on TV while he napped, and then we enjoyed a quiet day indoors. For lunch yesterday, we made one of our favorites-…

  • Job Searching in 2025

    Job Searching in 2025

    193 days. That’s how long I have been actively looking for a new job. Since February of this year, I have spent hours every single day looking for a new role. I exhausted LinkedIn and Indeed. When I finally joined a Reddit community to commiserate with other job seekers on the struggles of job searching,…

  • New Habits and Routines

    New Habits and Routines

    With everything going on in my life right now, I have been working hard to stay as positive as possible and trust God’s plan. It’s not easy… in fact, some days it seems impossible to have faith and believe, but I’m doing it- with the help of many who have been here to support me…

  • Meet Sawyer

    Meet Sawyer

    Since this is a new blog, I thought it would be a great time to reintroduce my “sonshine”, Sawyer! Sawyer is 12 years old and in the 7th grade.

    An Attitude of Gratitude

    It can be so hard to stay positive sometimes- especially in times of trouble or stress. Believe me, I get it… Lately life has not been good to me, but I am still trying my hardest to stay positive and strong. A couple of years ago, I read a post on Facebook about “an attitude…

  • Hey Y’all

    Hey Y’all

    As the title says, hey y’all. 😉 My name is Brittany and you might remember me from my former blog, Chicken Nugs and Mama Hugs. As a proud autism mom, Chicken Nugs and Mama Hugs was a blog about my family’s experiences as an autism family.  However, life has changed a LOT for me and…

  • Sunshine

    A couple of weeks ago, we finally got in to see a child psychologist. She prescribed Zoloft for Sawyer, and it is working wonderfully for him!

  • To The Parents Next To Us At Sesame Street Live

    To the parents sitting next to us at Sesame Street Live last night… I hope you will talk to your older girls about why it was rude for them to keep staring and shooting snide looks at my son all night.

  • Autism Is Not A Disease, It’s a Difference

    If you haven’t heard RFK Jr’s disgusting comments about autism spectrum disorder by now, you’ve been living under a rock. I have never gotten political on this blog before, and I never intended to. However, with everything going on in the world right now, I cannot stay silent.

  • Twelve

    The last 12 years have taught me so much about love, family, and what it means to be a mother. Yes, the last year or so has been hard, but it could never outweigh all the laughter and love this boy has brought into our lives. Thank you, Lord, for choosing us to be Sawyer’s…
