When I started the toyportfolio.com in 1989 with my mother, at our first editorial meeting she insisted we have a list of toys for kids with special needs. So we started researching what was out there--many catalogs (remember those?). We were so upset to find that the prices were so inflated...and for no good reason. Since our first issue, we have been committed to providing information about ordinary toys that can be used or easily adapted for kids with special needs. It's not hard--and it is s…

As all you mamas know, once one kid is down, it’s just a matter of time before they all start dropping like flies. I’ve got a lot of flies, so things can drag on for quite some time. In fact, with so many flies, the whole little germ fest tends to recycle and the first kid who brought it into the house is starting round two of something while the last kid is just heading into recovery mode. It’s like a twisted game of germ tag.
So what was wrong with them? We probably had a bit of swine flu lov…

I've been trying to come up with an idea on how to use this blog for good. It's used so much for evil, that the good part wasn't clicking until I read Aunt Becky's post This Post Will Contain Words That Spell Check Hates over at Mommy Wants Vodka. The post really doesn't have much to do with spell check words, at least that I could figure out, but it did have to do with using her blog to draw attention to a cause near and dear to her friend Kevin's heart - juvenile myositis - something I can't p…

While it might sound fairly obvious to suggest to mothers the importance of practicing great self-care, I have found that most of us moms just don’t get it. I speak with moms and women’s groups all the time and, consistently, when I ask mothers, “How do you practice self-care?” I am met with silence or the typical day spa, mani and pedi response. Self-care isn’t really a consistent thought in motherhood. It is not until a mother becomes stressed out at her spouse, frustrated with her children or…

It is also the last chance for a picnic before winter sends the earth to sleep until spring. A tailgate is the perf…
