Putting Your Kids First

Yes, it’s that time of the year for decorations, good cheer, lots of shopping,  choosing gifts, wrapping gifts, gift giving, receiving holiday cards, maybe getting a letter or picture ready, special foods, hot chocolate, sitting by the fireplace…………………………..but most importantly…. a time to thank your friends and family for being there for you. Don’t keep your thoughts to yourself. Let those around you who mean a lot, know how vitally important they are to your life.

Hug your loved ones, write them a note telling them how you feel. Remember what the season IS supposed to be about—–  miracles, memories,  love, giving and charity.

Give from your heart and soul, not just your wallet. Remember those less fortunate than you. This is what it is all about, not spending 100’s of dollars to buy a bunch of toys!

Have a peaceful season. Be good. Be kind. Be loving. AND SMILE.

I already ordered my Organic turkey from Whole Foods. If you have not ever eaten a FRESH, Organic turkey, you owe it to yourself to get one….it’s only once a year! It is so worth it. Grocery store turkeys are loaded with chemicals and just taste awful, compared to a REAL turkey! You will thank me. Remember, it is ONE day a year.

I cut up my GFCF bread cubes today…they are in the cold oven, drying out, to get ready for stuffing, that I will make on Thursday. I got a great GFCF recipe for stuffing from the Celiacs Forum (thanks JEN!)

My GFCF book is coming along. Today I added a ton of resource web sites for the diet, autism and general disability info. I am getting several moms to write success stories of their child’s road to leaving autistic traits behind. They are so exciting to read!

Have a wonderful holiday with your loved ones. Remember the real reason for this holiday, to be thankful for what you have and for those around you. Tell your friends and relatives what they mean to you, and how thankful you are to have them in your life.

We have a family tradition that we go around the table and each of us says what they are thankful for, before we can eat.

Give it a try ! 

I am busy writing my book. I am on Chapter 10 already! I am so motivated to get this done and OUT….there is a huge need for my book. I am getting amazing responses from people all over the world, begging for my 4 page guide and for my advice. I’ve heard from Greece, S. Africa, Phillipines, Canada and New Zealand, as well as all over the USA!

I need to pay it forward. Our miracle can belong to other families, as well.
