Tip, Tricks & Treats

The road our family has traveled & continues to travel has needed a bit of navigation. Below you will find a variety of resources that we've found helpful, encouraging &, honestly, even life changing. Take a peak - you never know what's going to rock your world!

& one additional note, in 2010, I hosted a blog spot that I maintained on a regular basis. I had to take a step back, but I'm thrilled to be writing again. What I'm going to do with my original blog is still in the works, but if you want to "read up" and gain some insight into our story, feel free to check it out. 


Highly Recommend

4 Paws for ability

Ever wondered if a Service Dog would benefit your child with special needs? Have big questions about the "Who - What - Why - When - Where" of the Service Dog world? From 1st hand experience, we highly recommend 4 Paws for Ability of Xenia, Ohio. 

Mark Gungor & The Tale of Two Brains

We've been married since 1999. We have five Wild Things & four of them have various special needs. Despite the "organized chaos" and rocky road we've traveled since we started our journey, our marriage just gets BETTER and BETTER with each passing year. We laugh - a LOT. We fight - but we always end on a good note. We date - it's SO much fun. We're a TEAM. But it takes WORK. Early on in our marriage, we watched the "Tale of Two Brains".  Years later, we still find ourselves referencing it...Rob will ALWAYS have a "Nothing Box" & he will always need a road map to follow my train of thought.
