So, Thinking about some new things
So, I know it has been very quiet around here and I need to work on that. I have a bunch of reviews drafted that I need to just finish up and get them posted. I am still reading and reviewing. I just have been super busy in real life and balance has never been one of my strong suits.
I have a few things coming up that I am kind of excited about. While this blog will primarily be about the books and such, I do want to broaden my horizons a bit, so I am starting to do product reviews as well.
I also am going to be starting a new feature (thanks to Bea at Beas Book Nook for brainstorming with me on Twitter). It does seem that there are at least a handful of us in the blogosphere that are autism moms. This is such a big part of my life and my day to day that I want to start writing openly about it. Raising a child with autism can be both exhausting and infinitely rewarding and the challenges can range from mild to severe, and I think that more attention needs to be called to it.
I cannot even tell you how many times I have been out in public and my child has had one of her meltdowns, only to be looked at like I am a horrible parent and I have done something wrong because she acts that way. There needs to be more awareness and acceptance. Ironic in my mind that I should begin this now, as April is Autism Awareness Month, but it really was not planned.
I just finished moving, and I have an awesome “reading room” now. (Hubby set me up with my bookshelves and a lamp, just need to find an awesome chair now. He gave up half of the garage for me!). I will post some pictures here as soon as things get settled down.
What kinds of things would you like to see here moving forward? I am open to suggestions because I love all of my readers and would love to have your feedback. Please comment and let me know.
