FALLing into Place
Wow. I can’t believe it’s October already! I truly don’t know what happened in August through now because I have been so ridiculously busy with so many things. In my last update, we had just gone to CHOP for a vascular anomaly appointment and had a biopsy of his Port-Wine Stain (PWS). Mid-August we finally…

My Oh My, How Time Flies
I blinked and June was gone, so as we approach mid-July, I figured it was time to give an update. If you’ve been listening to Sip & Stim, you know a little bit about what’s been new in the lives of the Martins, but if you haven’t listened (which you should because we just finished…

Sip & Stim
This week has been one for the toilets. It started out with an urgent care trip that turned into an all-day ER visit, then a follow-up with my PCP, only to be given a bunch of meds and sent on my merry way. Long story short- I am fine. I had some blood in my…

It’s March Already?!
I woke up this morning and realized- holy crap, it’s MARCH. The last time I posted was in November, which I swore I was going to be better at my posts, but I have been insanely busy with being the primary caregiver of Greyson, taking both kids to tons of appointments, keeping the family functioning,…

Happy Fall, Y’all!
It’s finally time for spooky season….AKA my favorite time of the year! I love when the mornings are crisp and the afternoons are warmer, only to end the evening with the fall chill in the air. Fall also brings colorful leaves, steamed apple cider and the best thing EVER invented- the pumpkin cream cheese muffin…

Summer Lovin’ Had Me….Some Stress.
Time hates me. I am absolutely convinced. I got up this morning, completely believing that today was August and school was about to start in a short two weeks. Man was I wrong….. Seeing June on my calendar today was a sour punch to the gut of my reality bubble. Not only have we had…

Oh, Hi October! 👋🏻 🎃
The last few weeks have been extremely busy for our family- we are back into the school routine, choir is up and running weekly, my sister’s wedding, Derek and I are working tons and we have lots going on with the kids and their care/services…..OH, and did I mention that we have a book launch…

Books, Lawyers, Appeals…OH MY!
If you’ve been alive for more than 18 years, you probably understand how health insurance works, or at least understand the concept of it. What you may NOT understand is that most health insurances are split into two (sometimes three) separate smaller companies for separate coverages. For example, say someone has Capital Blue Cross for…

Staycation, Chocolate, Bounce, Ice Cream Shower……Repeat
About two weeks ago, Derek and I were informed that Greyson was going to need to take about two weeks off from the Autism Center he attends daily. The staff that works with him needed two weeks to regroup and find new ways to work with G so he would have less self-injury and aggression…

Tick, Tick…..ZzzZZzz
Alas, another school year is complete and we are officially into summer solstice as of today! Our days are getting longer, the sun is shining brighter and the mid-Atlantic area is fully embracing the first heatwave of the season. Roslynn had a wonderful 3rd grade year and did fantastic with her first year of PSSA…
