Retiring

I just wanted to let you know that as of this post, I am retiring Twisted Cinderella and Ever After . . . My Way. I have found that over the last little while I have felt the need to censor myself due to certain comments and my reactions to them. I feel that the whole purpose of my blog has been for me to be able to say what was on my mind, whatever was on my mind. I need my blog to be a place where I can feel free to share my inner-most thoughts without worrying about being judged. Having come to a point where my blog no longer gives me this freedom, I felt that there was no longer any purpose in it's continued existence. I know that I am a good mom who always puts her kids first and as I go forward I will continue to do just that.

I feel like this is a good time to walk away and begin fresh somewhere else. This is a new year, I am moving to a whole new province and I am adding a new little person to my family and with all those new things, it feels like a good place for an ending and a beginning.

I would like to say thank you for all your comments and support, it has meant a lot to me.

For anyone wishing to follow me in my journey, feel free to email me for the link at aftertheglassslipper@hotmail.com.

The Autism Puzzle - Something to Ponder

We have all heard the saying, you can't fit a square peg in a round hole.

If you try to fit a square peg in a round hole you have to force it in.

Some may even try to pound it in so it fits.

In the process the peg becomes damaged.

Now ponder this...

What happens when you put a round peg in a square hole?

It will slide in easily and move about freely.

It can spin completely around in a full circle.

What is the moral of the story, you might ask.

It is easier to change the environment to suit the Autistic child,

Than it is to change the Autistic child to suit the environment.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all my friends out there in Blogland!

Mine is going well and I hope yours is too. I made a bread pudding last night and when I got up this morning, I popped it in the oven. So it was ready to while we were opening presents. I stuffed the turkey yesterday and peeled all my veggies so that is another thing off my plate for today. Princess Belle and I made candy cake chocolate bark for Santa this year and it was fabulous! I am definitely going to be doing that again. Princess Snifflefritz and Princess Magpie tired themselves out while playing with their presents and are both napping. It was so much fun to watch them this year. Princess Belle is playing with her big girl toys and with one of the baby dolls that the little girls got. I love that she is at an age where she likes the big kid stuff but is not too cool to play with little kid stuff too. I have lots of pics from today, but I will post them later. Here are some other Christmas pics I have.









And Congrats to Notsosnowwhite and her White Knight who are now engaged to be married!!




This is absolutely beautiful.

Good News

We got a wonderful call last night. There is a moving company that is willing to move us for a little less than we had planned to spend on a uhaul! He was wonderful about working with out limited budget and he was extremely accommodating to us. The only catch is that we now have to move earlier than we had planned. We will be leaving in the first week of January! Well, it will be tough to get it all together, but I will be glad to have it behind us, to have professionals moving the stuff and to not have to worry about drivers, packing a truck, fitting everything into a truck and all that sort of stuff. This truly is a blessing. So, now I just have to work out the budget for going SOO much earlier than I had planned and to get everything packed.
