Long Time No Blog
I know, I have been a sucky blogger. But, let's face it, like everyone else, life gets in the way. My personal life has been an absolute mess on the financial front and work front. (Don't worry, marriage is still going strong) My job of 6 yrs told me last week that they don't have the money to pay me anymore. My airline job only provides me with part time hours. So, in other words, OUCH! I don't even want to discuss our finances now in result. So, here I am, back to making every penny count again. Maybe I should take this as an opportunity to really explore frugality and to share our journey with others.....

Support A Great Cause!
My bloggy friend Renee over at myspecialks.com is having a fundraiser to help with the cost of adopting a sweet girl Kellsey thru Reese's Rainbow . She makes these awesome necklaces for kids with their name, address, and any contact information on them. As the mother of a special needs child who is unable to communicate this information, I think this is totally awesome! Please check out her blog and let her know if you are interested.

My additional blog
I started a new blog to document about Ethan's autism specifically. More like a journal for us to keep track of his progress and changes, and to also help other parents with the quirks of autism. Every Penny Counts will still be my primary blog, please feel free to peek at my other blog to check on my E man's awesomeness.

I am working on a concept for a blog for Landon as well I will let you know when that comes about.

Busy Busy Busy
Always an understatement at our house! The bills need to be paid, so work work work. Between work, therapy appointments and Eric being off, I haven't had much time to post. I checked my site meter today, and frankly, I'm pitiful, NOBODY reads my blog. So, nobody really misses me I guess.
