My Introduction, Better Late Than Never!

I seemed to overlook offering a welcome to the readers of my Special Needs Blogs. Better late then never is my motto–especially when it comes to parenting special needs children.

He has been studying for the permit exam diligently,and I have contacted the local homeschool office for “school attendance” paperwork required in the state of Georgia for teen drivers. I have no doubt he will pass the written test, as he’s never failed a test in his life. After that, he’s going to want to drive. Can you smell fear? I love my son and trust my son, but I am literally … Continue reading

Biker Babes Unite

Did you know the fastest growing segment of motorcycle owners in the country wears skirts? I live in Harley country so seeing women on the back of souped up hogs is nothing out of the ordinary. But for others watching dozens of biker babes—driving—not riding on the back of motorcycles is quite a sight. (At least it was for my mother who was born and raised in Hawaii.) If you think the experience was unique for my mother think about how the chicks on those bikes must feel. Twenty years ago 90% of motorcycle owners were men. These days motorcycle … Continue reading
