Big, BIG news! Quinn took his first steps yesterday! We were
walking in the hallway, and my hands were barely holding on to his sides. I
slowly let go, and he took two steps all by himself! Look out, everybody. Here
comes trouble.
Here are the “R’s.”
Recap
In Monday’s QWA, we had some fun with Instagram.
In this week’s Not-So-Wordy Wednesday, I posted a video
capturing the sounds of the frog chorus behind our house.
On Thursday, I remembered all the things I liked about living alone.
Referral
This week’s super awesome blogger referral is Jillsmo from Yeah. Good Times. Her real name might be Jill, but I can't be sure. Anyway, I’m a sucker
for a blog that combines funny illustrations with cuss words.
Jillsmo is a mom of two – one child who’s autistic and one who “OMGISN’T.” Yeah, she said that. See,
she has a fabulous sense of humor, which, as we’ve discussed, is a necessity when you’re a mom.
She describes her posts as “random shit” that goes through
her head, and I’d say that’s a pretty accurate description. Every now and then,
she’ll hit you with something heavy
that makes you say “whoa.” But most often, her posts are hilarious vignettes that provide sneak peeks into her life,
her family and her brain. I always head over to her blog when I need a laugh,
which is… um… yeah, everyday.
In addition to a daily dose of laughter, Jillsmo provides
education and awareness about autism.
She’s a wonderful resource for all parents, especially those who have kids with
special needs. Her ability to remain optimistic and see the hilarious
side of any situation is inspiring.
I recommend putting aside some of your weekend plans and
having some good times over
at Jillsmo’s instead. You may only intend to read a couple of posts, but you’ll
get sucked in, and then you’ll be late for whatever you were supposed to do
anyway.
And if you really want to laugh your ass off, follow her on
Twitter.
Rewind
I can’t believe Q is starting to walk! All of you were
right, and logically, I knew it too. I was all worried over nothing. Again. I know this means the fun is
really about to begin, but I admit, I’m a bit relieved.
Tune in next week!
I know I was supposed to tell you all about my ideas for
inventions this week, but I did a Mama Kat prompt instead, so I’ll tell you about
them next week. Also, my dear friend, Laura, is coming to visit from Boston
this weekend, so you’ll hear all about our fun adventures in Monday’s QWA.
Have a great weekend, friends!
