On April 2nd, communities everywhere bring attention to autism. It’s a powerful day for every autism family. In our household, this day signals a month-long opportunity to increase awareness.

Moms, I feel your pain! I get it, I truly understand what it’s like to have a picky eater in your household.

There are a variety of ways that you can protect your identity. Today, I’m going to discuss one of them: using a paper shredder.
