2021 Pennsylvania Farm Show Right after the holiday season, I have my eye on one other thing-the PA Farm Show! The 2021 PA Farm Show is January 9 to 16. My boys have never missed a year and love it, so I thought I’d pass along some tips. At the bottom of this post, I’ve […]
Visiting Longwood Gardens I was recently invited to become a Star Blogger for Longwood Gardens. Not only do I just love Longwood Gardens, but my little guy is now at an age where it will be fun for us to attend as a family. A few Thursdays ago, I went to a special evening just […]

BB’s Grocery Outlet I am a former extreme couponer. Back in the day, I was one of those crazy ladies who would get tons of stuff for free using coupons. Then, the TV show and social media ruined it. Too many people learned how to do it and companies closed the loopholes in coupon policies. […]
Not Following 504 Plan Ok, your child has a 504 Plan. You provided the necessary documentation and they drew it up. You think it’s pretty good and will help your child. Then, you hear anecdotes from your child that your school is not following the 504 Plan. The protections of a 504 plan are fewer […]
IEP Podcast Transcribed I’ve had some requests to transcribe podcasts, as some want the information but don’t want to listen to podcasts. So, here you go.
