You Do You, Special Needs Parents!

May 30, 2016 by Stephanie McKeever 12 Comments

I have been chided for sharing too much information about my son and his needs. There are people who say, "This is his story to share. That is, should he choose to do so." Little do they know, our stories are tied pretty tightly. Then there is the flip side. There are those that want to know the whole scoop. Anything and everything. They think I'm not sharing enough. … [Read more...]

Stuck On Repeat (The Special Needs Repetition)

May 13, 2016 by Stephanie McKeever 2 Comments

* Some names have been changed. You know why. Almost every day my husband purposely sings a song with the intention of getting the tune stuck on repeat in my head. It's usually something obscure and fairly terrible. (Shhh. Don't tell him I secretly find this endearing.) With the exception of Friday. On Friday I can count on him waking the whole house with Rebecca Black's fabulous and memorable … [Read more...]

You Really Like Me?

April 15, 2016 by Stephanie McKeever 2 Comments

Do you remember the old Sally Field Oscar acceptance speech when she says, "You like me! You really like me!"? (Maybe I'm showing my age. Google it.) One day I said this to my son, Evan. He was being sweet to me and I said, "Evan, you like me! You really like me!" Aaand the rest is history. He now says this ten times a day to us. And he asks every single person he meets if they 'really like' him. … [Read more...]

Joy in the Mundane

March 18, 2016 by Stephanie McKeever 9 Comments

A friend asked me how my family was doing. I said all was status quo, nothing exciting, no ups, no downs. We haven't had any bad days or really exciting things to report. Today was just ... today. Sounds kind of boring to the outsider. But actually, we have so much joy in the mundane. There was a time you would find us at the soccer fields with one of our boys. Occasionally, it could feel like … [Read more...]

Share Your Resolution So You Get Help and God Gets Glory

January 15, 2016 by Stephanie McKeever 11 Comments

"What's your New Year's Resolution?" It's that time again. Everyone is asking. Some of us ignore them. Some of us have different ones every year. And some of us, who shall remain nameless, have the same one lose weight year after year. In the last couple of years we really struggled with some behavior issues with our son, Evan. We had no choice but to become quite open about them. People were … [Read more...]
