Meet Dani

Hi Friends! I am Dani – just your average mom. If you are looking for a blog that will ooze with perfection, perfect children, a perfect home, and what seems like an unlimited budget you might need to adjust your search criteria in your web browser and keep looking. I have three little boys ages 9, 7 & 5 and then my husband and I invested in a television in our bedroom (I kid!) I like to go to bed early (you are lucky to catch me after 8pm) and love animals (we have 2 indoor cats: Governor Fluffnpuss & The Great Catsby, 3 outdoor cats: Olivia Benson, Benjamin Button and Sylvester and 3 dogs Pluto, Astro & Comet). So what’s my deal? I have spent the last 12+ years working in special education as a Teacher, Compliance and then Assistant Director. I devoted my minutes, hours and days (oh the many weekends!) supporting other people’s children and finally came to a head to realize it was time to focus my attention on mine (rev up the helicopter mom! but not really…). Stick around to see how the average mom navigates mom-hood, continue to help children with disabilities and use life experiences to teach my boys in a multi-sensory world.

So on my new journey, I am going to take some time to focus on my kids, but, there are hours of the day that they are not home! They are in school or programming which leaves me to explore. I am going to explore my passions – or find out things I realllly hate. Team up with some of the most motivated people I know. Dive into recipes (I wing it, you will learn), home decor (on a budget – tight tight budget), learn a little modern homesteading, and use my knowledge of special education – and how that influences how I raise my own kids. I will do this with YOU! Come, enjoy, laugh, cry, whatever!
