Mommies Reviews Blogger Shoutout

Here is what Jill has to say about:

I’m Jill, the 30 something* year old mommy to 2 handsome 😉 young boys, K (age 9) and D (age 7).  I’m an Air Force veteran, who dearly misses working on her big beautiful plane**.  These days I’m just finding my place as a homeschool mom to 2 little men: one with Autism, the other TBD.  We’ve been homeschooling now for almost three years.  The thought of homeschooling terrified me initially, but now I’d never go back.

I, myself, was diagnosed with ADHD, but now suspect it’s a combo with very mild Autism after raising my son and learning all I’ve learned.  The school was awful, and I hated the word potential.  Every standardized test just got me a good round of, “See, you’re smart, you don’t apply yourself.”  After I learned about my brain differences and how to work with them, it was life-altering.  I’m excited to give my boys the chance to work with their brains instead of against!

 I would like to share the 10 Dollar calm down box from dollar tree with you as I think I should make one for Charlie. For the days when he isn’t wanting to focus and has a meltdown. Before I do think I would like to ask if you have ever used one of these boxes and if so did it work out?
Be watching for next week when I return with another new Homeschooling Blog for us to check out.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
