My first blog was sort of an intro to me, and my life.  I am a stay at home mom with a great husband and two beautiful daughters.  My eldest daughter Sarah was born 7 weeks pre-term and has multiple mild developmental issues, ranging from visual and motor to attention and behavior.  She is bright, funny and a generally delicious kid.  My younger daughter Rachel is also delicious and fun, does not have developmental issues (thanks g-d), and is a great positive burst of energy in our house.  Good days are phenomenal and bad days are expected and accepted.  Horrific days sometimes still twist my guts and leave me raw.  I guess that is all part of having a family with a special needs child, or maybe it is just part of being a parent in general. 

My goal in this blog is to inform, occasionally rant, and most importantly, pay it forward and help another special needs parent.  I have researched many therapies, both conservative and traditional, and done a lot with both public and private services to help my child.  On this journey, I really had to self-educate on all of the resources available.

I appreciate any feedback.  I tend to be a bit verbose but will try to stick to what is most interesting and useful, hopefully without going off the deep end... (get that , ha-ha! the deep end, but hey the ridiculous water metaphors are only just beginning with my title!)

Thanks for reading.
