Here's What I'm Doing:

Live. Laugh. Love. Just kidding, get me off this effing couch and let the demons summon the pneumonia from these lungs.

We had Alice but now we have Luke 💙💗💙 I wrote a small piece for @the.mothers.voice about the very beginning of Luke’s story. Check it out. #transgenderrightsarehumanrights #motherofatransgenderchild #protecttranskids

Laid back, reading The Week.

Alex has been my friend for over half my life and I’ve loved him the entire time. He’s funnier than anyone I know, someone who is kind and smart and in one minute can joke around and the next have a real conversation with. He’s been the best godfather for Luke and basically Uncle Alex to the rest of those kittens. Happy birthday Alex, the Prasils love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Year THIRTY THREE was crazy. Wonderful things happened and sad things happened too. But holy shit I’m so thankful for a million things and all the people who made me feel like gold yesterday ❤️😘

Autism awareness month is April, and part of my drive for creating @greenappleproject was to make every day autism awareness day. Autism is an interesting thing. It has helped nudge this beautiful boys curiosity for things and the ability to remember almost everything he hears or reads. It’s contributed to his mature and dry sense of humor and the ability for him to read a novel intended for a much older audience in a crazy short amount of time. But it’s also made it difficult for Jamie to follow directions as they’re given. It’s hard for him to accept answers that are vague and meltdowns (crying, screaming) happen more often than they should for a 5th grader. He’s often called weird and many peers consider him a novelty and sometimes all he wants to be is one of the cool kids. He might not know it yet but he is one. The next time you hear an older child throwing a tantrum in public, consider that maybe the crowds are too much to handle or the lights physically hurt. Before judging a kid (or their parents) for a constant “uniform” of sweats and old shirts and long hair, consider that maybe some fabrics are too irritating, that the hair is like a security blanket. Before you hear sounds coming from someone you’d expect to talk and it catches you off guard, consider that they might just communicate differently, that behind those beautiful eyes are so many thoughts and curiosities. There is so much to love and appreciate and learn from people with autism - amazing perspectives and different ways of looking and listening and experiencing. 💙💙💙 #faceofautism #autismawareness
